yep, got to agree, it is a little ben hur dangerous lookin stylee. lol. instead of spikes try widening the slats to about a finger width, good effort though, 90% there i would say.

p.s make sure that no air can get between the diffuser fitment and underside of the car! seen a thread once about the HT autos moulded diffuser ripping itself away (and part of the rear) from the car. dont know if it ended up being down to poor fitment or design error though

Nay, because it's not really going to do anything is it? Other than spike the ******-behind-you's shin as he runs forward to have a fight...

A proper diffuser starts way forward (of the rear axle if possible) and curves up, with the vanes running close(r) to the ground to avoid spill and turbulence at the sides.
