**pic request** rear diffusers newage
 
Thinking of a rear diffuser to fit a newage wide track rear bumper has anyone got any pics as I'm unsure if I want plain or carbon look.
Any ideas where to buy a good one or if anyone has one for sale would also be appreciated

As charly says you cant see much of it unless you look under the car.
I forget what the cost now. Check ht autos website.

They fit quite well bu take your time lining it up and drilling and you will be fine

I found my quite hard ! I dont have that line to follow though . Also its nuts and bolts that fix mine , and a couple were hard to hold due to access.

Here is what u see

http://i1199.photobucket.com/albums/...0pics/Rear.jpg


Trying to line it up , using a paint can to hold it while i stood back to look :) it seemed to me that where u want it to sit , it didnt follow the shape of the bumper. Man i wish i had that line to follow !

mine was 2nd hand so price is different .

Would all require drilling the bumper? Ht autos arnt that far away from me wonder if they'd got it for me lol

tubbytommy 02 January 2013 09:43 AM

Some bolts are hard to get to.
I found it easier to remove the bumper and i have fitted two now.
It really is simple though.
Easier with 2 people,one to hold difusser and one to mark holes to drill.

I have standard black finish and yes You need drill bumper(mainly on corners) as with only ht bolts used on predrilled bumper holes it wont fit perfectly.
And is really s.h.i.t to fit under car, close to arb plus you need cut tow hook.

CharlySkunkWeed 02 January 2013 09:50 AM

I was on my own , at night , bumper fitted ! Wasnt helping myself much. They are alot bigger than u think , more than a foot deep anyway , so sticking it on isnt an option unless u take your bumper off and let it sit for a while to stick , but there are two brackets need fixed through the spare wheel well when it all fitted back on.

Edit - had to sacrifice my pretty new tow hook as it was a bit overkill. Then i realised after fitting difuser the standard hook woulnt fit either ! Never bothered fitting it as i didnt want to cut a hole , or tow anyone for that matter :)

M2RTXhawkeye 02 January 2013 10:08 AM

I've got a tow hook on at the minute and its mooooohooosive lol! Take it that will have to come off but are you saying the original tow hook will need chopping off too?

Pic of the rear as it is

Matty is selling a genuine one off a hawk which just sits in the middle thinking that might be the route to take as I think it bolts into existing holes

That looks cool mate wonder if you could cut the diffuser to allow the tow hook to come through?

You just unbolt the tow eye.
Two bolts and remove. No cutting required

CharlySkunkWeed 02 January 2013 12:07 PM

Thats like the one i had fitted ! You can either cuy a hole in the difuser for the one u have and struggle ro fit it over , or refit your origional hook and cut a hole for it. Or just leave your car without a rear tow hook , like me

fawor 02 January 2013 01:15 PM

On mine i should cut right side fin for tow hook,it could look not really what im after.
hawk diff looks ****e,sorry but thats true

in this pic (on the right of the right hand fin) you can see the bit thats moulded to allow the standard tow hook to remain fitted , but if you ever want to actually tow anyone you need to cut it out to allow a rope in.

Heres a link on ebay at the ones io've been looking at, don't know whether it'd be a good fit or not:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fibreglass...item3ccd950182

Looks to be the same as Juras one on the wagon i think?

Yes looking like similar and almost as same,but yes can be fitted on the Classic or New age with small modifications to fit

CharlySkunkWeed 02 January 2013 02:32 PM

what car have you Kev ? Dont know if it suit a bumper without the bit on each side of the bumper (spats ?) Juras bumper that has the lower lip round to the back wheels takes it well. If you know what i mean ;)

Don't really understand what you mean mate but i have a WRX Bug ;)

CharlySkunkWeed 02 January 2013 02:47 PM

lol , i'm drying to describe the difference in the two bumpers in Juras pics , The Ebay one youre looking at suits his bumper more than it would suit the one in his 2nd pic

M2RTXhawkeye 04 January 2013 10:31 AM

Cheers guys been a big help although still Un decided which one to go for lol.

Marty yours looks sweet mate, is this the one that bolts to existing holes?

Jura how much modding is required to fit the one you have? Does it require drilling holes or tapping?

Wrx9181 where can these be bought and any pics? :thumb:

Cheers
Martin
