Remember the bug and blob rear bumpers are different - I'm toying with getting one of these and making it fit

Just need to stop spending

I'm not sure, I just know the HT Autos ones are different.

Looking at this picture of it fitted I reckon it shouldn't be too difficult...



I'll tell you in a few weeks time

Not necessarily, it may take a little bit of work and ingenuity, but I will make it fit

The rear spats I have fitted are Blobeye ones and they fit okay after a minor tweak

All depends on the shape, and more importantly, the length of the bumper

I've used my electric money and ordered one, just don't tell the wife, I'll make her believe it was a power cut I don't think there's that much in it.

I don't think there's much in it and I guess there'll be some attachments on the boot floor like the STI one

IMO the HT ones looks better than that.

I saw a HT one on a scoob in the car park for the time attack this year - had to go have a look as i thought it looked great!

Hi there how many TA cars running HT Autos diffuser,probably any one and why,because HT Autos diffuser don't create any downforce(like positive or negative),just look at HT diffuser and you will know why is pointless.

For full potential of any diffuser you will need flat floor,because without is just plate for show.And which one look better for show i think HKS(or this copy) looking much better on Subaru like HT Autos plate.

But any diffuser will only really be worthwhile from a performance point of view on track/race cars, as road cars will never probably be going round corners fast enough to need a diffuser.

Therefore just go for whichever one you prefer the look of.

you jammy git,i have the very same diffuser sat in my garage at home,which i bought from them and i paid the full £250.i had it fitted to my old car but when i broke it i kept the diffuser to fit to the car i have now.i have been toying with the idea of fitting it for the past month but just carnt make my mind up whether to or not.the only thing thats stopping me fitting it is i'm in a weight saving mood at the moment and anything i think i dont need is getting thrown away.

I might have to go for this one - bought the other one and the guy claims to have sold out despite having 3 left when I paid - I just hope he hasn't sent them out to the people who paid after me and screwed up his priorities
