Post Cusco diffuser

After a long wait for brackets arriving of the slowest boat from Cusco Japan, I've finally had my rear diffuser and under bar thingy fitted.

The bits, forget to take a pic of the brackets though,

Diffuser:


Under brace thingy:


Fitted:




Looks very nice, I think.

Thanks to all at Revolution Performance Motorstore :: Alloy Wheels, Tyres, Auto Performance and Styling Parts for supply, chasing Cusco JP for the brackets, and fitting.

So, what do you think? Good/bad, Yay/Nay?

Micky

I assume it doesn't do anything - just a "look at me" accessory ? Back of the scoob seems to high for ground effect? I'm no expert so will stand corrected..

I may be wrong, but, there's one fitted to Glenn's (Revolution owner) UK Hawkeye STI, and I think thats fitted standard. Like I say though, I may be wrong.

Looks good though and might help smooth some air flow.

Did see my car before it was fitted? Previous owner had fitted a bloody towbar to it, which incidently Revolution kindly removed for me to fit the diffuser

Saved weight, can now go faster.

you can order them from the dealers..about 50 notes plus a 10 for the bracket plus vat..you can mount it without the cusco bar by putting 3 small n+b's through the spare wheelwell

Looks mint Fella, did you get it from Revolution or did they just source it for you? Also did the Cusco underbar thingy make any difference to the handling at all?

Very true, most people, like myself would rather not drill holes in the spare wheel well

Bought from and fitted by Revolution.

Handling wise, I dunno. Don't really drive my car hard like that usually.
