Recent Mod.
Got this secondhand from the states, as they are an arm and a leg over here. Why do we have to get ripped off.
You have to remove the bumper and fit it as you cant get to the bolt holes with the bumper in place.

I thought the one with the bumper upsidedown would be low enough, but here's one from the manufactures.

It looks bling yes, and I do like it but surely the air rushing past will go in behind it ?

Not too bad Fraser, you have to remove the bumper, you must keep the bumper level as the thing twists all over the place, it's not that easy to line up. Putting the bumper back on single handed was an arm full. You have to remove and leave off the tow bracket, unless you want to cut holes in the new carbon.

Looks quite suttle.
Is this different to the diffuser on the newer cars?
I thought the newer ones were only fitted centrally.

I'm not a big fan off bodywork add on's,. but i suppose it matches the spoiler. If you are going to make the car OTT may as well go the full way.
Fait play to Mick for doing all the work his self though, that is very indeed.

been looking at the APR rear diffuser for a while now - definitely a proper piece of equipment and will actually do a job rather than just bling IMO.
I want one

You are welcome to a passenger lap or three but I am afraid that I dont let anyone drive my car - it is a recipe for falling out

Good spot Spike. If it's coming in from outside the EC then some duty will be payable and some delivery firms put there delivery charge as well. I got mine secondhand from the states, for a good bit less than that. I can't seem to get to the bottom of this duty thing, I bought two items from the same company in Japan at different times and one I had to pay the full purchase price again in duties and the other came through without paying anything. If you ring up the customs and ask a question, you can't get a stright answer.

Mick can you not get "one off" items sent over as gifts? Therefore duty free?
Swede or Iggy pop may know more about this.

You can get the rear diffuser in black plastic which is quite a bit cheaper,
