Does anyone have a photo one of these sprayed ice blue and on the car?
Where is the best place to get one that will fit like a glove to my WR1?

I think APR in the USA do them approx £400,fit very well indeed,Mick C had them on his car,ring Tim Ross at RCM 01455 828610 he has got one,its a carbon fibre version.They do a black plastic version aswell.

Maverick, that looks spot on mate... really like these diffusers, I think they should have been standard, finish the rear off properly!!

Is it plastic Clark? Where did you get yours from?

I read that the plastic ones could be prone to splitting/cracking.... is the plastic decent quality?

I like the look of them, but I've always wondered if they would catch the air from the underside with a negative impact to forward motion? Ok, for road use this would have little to no impact to most people but I would hate to put unecessary force on my bumper mounting.

You have to think about doing over a 100mph with the diffuser on with the air being trapped, whether it would cause any unforseen occurance to ripping off the rear bumper :? but it does look pucker in carbon or coded 23g

Pooster why would you be doing over 100mph? We all know the max speed limit for roads in UK is 70mph & none of us would break the law would we? :wink: :lol:

But it is a fair point, would be horrid if just a fraction of the air was feed up behind the bumper?

23g - :nono: too much.
Black like Clarks looks cool. Mind, Clark looks cool :love:

You can always add some extra bits to the front edge, to make more of a flat floor.

Use the rubber sheets with some plastic or metal rives and attach where you can.

Normally used for protecting against stones hitting vital bits on rally cars, like the front and rear wishbones - protecting brake lines, but could be used to create a flat floor too.
