Does anyone know, have pictures that show, or have suggestions where the rear diffuser is meant to sit, relative to the rear clam?
The rear diffuser shapes, do not appear to sit comfortably against the rear clam.
From what I can tell from the pictures in the gallery (John's car in particular), the diffuser's vertical section is meant to sit in front the of the rear clam's lower edge, and the fins of the diffuser end approximately level with the rear edge of the clam.
Any hints / confirmation of my understanding, will be greatly appreciated!
Hi,
I have the diffuser fitted to my car but unfortunately the bodywork is at the spray shop at the moment so i cannot photo the alignment with the rear clam but can photo the diffuser fitted to the chassis if that's any help.
Photos of the diffuser to chassis would be useful.
I've had a go at fitting the diffuser, but haven't got it quite right yet - the type-r exhaust is quite deep, and thus I need to set the diffuser pretty low. The top of the fins, are going to be about 4-5 cm below the body, to clear the exhaust silencer!
Those of you who have the rear diffuser, has there been any guidance over the SVA issue in so much as not being able to see the lights in their entirety.
My inspector didn't bat an eyelid at the concealed lights. The "e" marks were still visible but in any case I think they probably just apply some judgement as to whether or not the lights achieve the intended purpose/visibilty angles etc.
I haven't fitted my diffuser yet - job for the weekend probably. I have added a wing and a radio since my SVA though so still keeping busy!
