Default BIG rear diffuser?

As above really, what has everyone got? I want to go flat boot floor and will be looking for something quite big, are they all custom made or is there an off the shelf option?

Does Daren at ABW not do one?

FWIW the Banana doesn't have a diffuser, just a cut out rear bumper by the looks of it.

I've searched for ya but the AWB diffuser is the only big one you can buy as far I could see. I think you need to make one yourself or let a company do that. But I don't think that would be a expensive thing because it is some sheet metal welded to each other.

You need to find somebody who can weld the metal together. The sheets you can order and cut yourself. That should be not to difficult.


Otherwise ask your local machine shop. I think they could help you out.

I don't like the side curly bits!

And it wouldn't fit a classic and isn't "big" enough for my liking

The ali panel on the cut out boot acts as its diffuser, the bumper is cut to the height of the boot floor.

If that's just cut out and boxed off it won't be anywhere near as effective as it could be

It holds the mod prod record for Harewood hill climb and before it beat the record the past one had stood for 7 years, its looking doubtful the record will be beat in the near future or the next few years so it does grip well

Haha, I wasn't saying it's slow, just that the current setup isn't ideal. It could be made even better with a little bit of effort
