I am going to fit a rear diffuser but am wondering which ones you think look the best and have fitted ? If you could post some pic's up aswell then that would be ace :)

Either of MMG's are cool...I prefer the longer diffuser personally. Alternatively search for Steppenwolf's variation on the diffuser, although I'm not sure if you can get hold of it :unsure: http://www.mmgperformance.co.uk

Thats what I have /had (just arranged to sell it 5 mins ago) best looking one in my opinion - why I bought it. However I decided if i'm going to the expense of lightweight discs etc then adding weight for cosmetic reasons isn't something I should be doing, hence now selling it.

A french guy has done this to install his TAT diffuser. He saved more than one kilogram and the added weight is only 390 g at the end with perhaps a better evacuation of the exhaust heat.

I have the TAT short in black. Looks OEM and finishes the back off nicely. None of them really do much to prevent rear uplift, but the TMS ones in CF are probably the lightest and offer the most gains without going totally OTT. There are some on ebay for £200. Re the front splitter - I was thinking of getting a sheet of CF and cutting one to suit - so that it protrudes forwards rather than downwards, but the underside of the front clam is not smooth, it's rounded so you can't get a good joint between splitter and clam - you'd need to fashion some sort of filler piece thumbsdown

I was thinking about one of these, but IMO they always look a bit, stuck on... A bit like bonnet "vents" on a corsa...

90% for show. For speeds of 90ish+ on track I believe it reduces lift a bit and gives the rear a bit more of a planted feeling, less skittish.
Road speeds 100% show.
