I am after one of those! How much did you pay if you don't mind me asking?

Cheers

Sorry to seem picky... but it doesnt look that good a fit around the edge of the bumper (for example under the number plate it seems like it isnt cut in the right shape).

Is it just the camera playing tricks with my eyes?

Otherwise... looks awesome!

**Edit.. stupid question, just read post is for the carbon... but ur pics are the FRP.**

The diffuser *was* a good fit until someone nerfed me in the rear

Once it's pushed out, it lines up a treat

Check 5 posts up for the carbon prices... I've already decided to upgrade

Certainly feels a lot more stable at the rear, particularly at motorway speeds.

You can actually see the effect it has on the airflow in wet weather, a pair of vortices either side of a water plume.

I found that the fit wasn't the greatest and it was a pig to fit, but got there in the end. It's more cosmetic as it fills out the back than active, unless you're planning to drive everywhere at a 100mph Will post some pics later.

Get some black screws as it looks bolted on rather than a genuine part of the car, if you see what I mean. Other than that looks better than the standard one.
