Will attempt a picture tommorow. Its currently in the shed doesn't look that hard to do  s;) s;)

[Jrichards20]

I look forward to it  s:) s:)  how far back does it extend? Just the front or all the way to the back bumper?

[tomaky]

just the front. it bolts onto the JDL bumper and into the bolt holes already under there for the under plastic.

Lovely new brake fluid will be added, already has HEL braided lines and refurb calipers so they will stay, but EBC discs and [strike:1b8yubym]pads[/strike:1b8yubym] will need to go on.

Haven't done anything to the car yet, just stock piling all my bits ready for when I have a free weekend!

Bits still to get before any of this can go on. Whiteline front Arb. Droplinks, front and rear arms, hard race rear traction rod, tuner fitting kit.

Looks like the car will be going up to Woodsport in November, so really need to get my act together and get all of this fitted before hand!

Its a rear diffuser from a 111s elise. Going to see if a can somehow fit it to the rear bumper, and then connect more undertrays to it to flatten the bottom of the hole car and incorporate a front splitter. Haven't work any of this out yet though  s:) s:)  So may not be possible at all.

Let me know how you get on with this. May be further down the pipeline for me, but nice to know how yours ends up looking like  s:) s:)

[Jrichards20]

It looks like it's going to be very tricky. Where the cat comes down will get in the way of the diffuser. So for the time being, until the V6 goes in. I can't measure up etc.

[nathanMR2]

Stock cat does come down low. I had a cut out in my diffuser to compensate for this.

I wouldnt consider mounting this off the bumper as the bumper flex's too much. I mounted mine off the rear crash bar with some fair hefty solid brackets. Only problem was that i had to take the rear bumper off before i could get the diffuser which was a bit of a pain. That said it helped stop it getting nicked.

Josh,

Saw this in the wickes catologue and thought of you straight away!

All you have to do is cut the top in half and you have some vents to let into your bonnet and the bottom bit you can attach to your nappy and your car is sorted!

Happy I could help..........

[Jrichards20]

I think I need to re-evaluate who I speak to on here, I don't need this kind of negativity in my life.

[tomaky]

Perfect Simon!!!!
