Has this been done before?
I got a bit bored and had a quick go on paint.....



I think it would look really good myself, and wouldn't cost that much either i dont think..

EDIT Bloody laptop, froze!!!!

Is that the clio 197...  That would be a good idea if it worked

Needs to be smaller as i dont like the look of that! SRS tec do a similar looking one...

^^^^ seen them before, very nice! Also the Thunderbunny rear is a winner with its complete one piece rear end and the diffuser is all part of it. Tis hard to get hold of though, from USA.

The only thing that put me off the SRS tec one is the possible dodgy fitment as its fibre glass i think

I'd have to check but IIRC, OSIR offer a 'diffuser' version of their exhaust trim. Nothing OSIR is cheap though.

My carbonfibre OSIR exhaust trim doesn't fit perfectly on my R32 rear but the use of ubiquitous cable-ties at least keep it securely fixed so I don't lose it on the road.

Think I might see how much I can get a 197 one for and see how hard it is to get it matched up.. Can't be that hard, if is any good, will see if I can get it made in carbon too :-)

On the Clio 197 it works and creates up to 40KG of downforce, I've always found this to be quite cool. That looks pretty poor on the GTI in my opinion.
