205 Rear Diffuser Pics

[marcdimma 1]

hi does any1 have any images of a rear diffuser fitted to a 205 are they even worth attempting

usually the just get caught on things and look tatty. You could try the Seat Ibiza front splitter on the back but that is a bit old hat now. Have a look at some of the more modern bumpers and see if you can graft something on. There's not much demand for bodykits on here so you may struggle for jnput!

From a visual point of view I'm sure a carbon diffuser looks real nice but the reality is unless its a pure racecar it wont do squat as the car is simply too high off the ground

Have a look for Wardy18's project he has done a full diffuser, undertray and splitter. Very nicely done but not something to be knocked together on a Sat afternoon that's for sure.

Not only does it need to be very close to the ground, it also needs to be used with a full flat floor and front splitter otherwise it's completely pointless. Not sure if you know but a diffuser doesn't actually produce any downforce itself, it's only there to improve the efficiency of the undebody.

thanks for replys i know the ment to be makin knackerd air into clean smooth air im mainly after the look as i know it a lot of work to get a fully working splitter and diffuser i was hoping to get this splitter to fit in betwen me exhausts but i dont really wanna stray too much from the dimma look any1 good at photoshop to see what it looks likes

That one is way too big. You want to look at one where you can keep the spare wheel if you can. Look at a Focus RS one as they have the cut outs for twin exhausts. Also look at Clio 197s. Both of these are more vertically will look better

need to lose the rocket launchers and drop the ride height a lot for it to look good I think.

Looking good as long as it does what its supposed to do for the effort.

[marcdimma 1]

love it and i must agree, a little OTT for the application but looks good, but looks dont result in times!!

it looks good, but will look naff with a number plate over the top of it. You'll also be introducing another item that may go tatty over time and spoil the effect. The back currently looks quite clean and classic with a modern twist with the smoothing

[marcdimma 1]

im not sure were im gunna put the reg plate if i do it gunna buy the rs diffuser n have a play with rear bumper hopfully i dont mess it up tryin

[barry d 6]
