I don't think that's a 197 diffuser looks too shallow.. But still it's the look I'm going for..

Yes wheel well gone 182 boot floor in place will be tack welded when cage goes in.
Yup same size just different looks.
As for fitting with well in the way it could possible be done but would look like blue car..
Williams 2
Are you going to make a tray to go the full length under the car to meet up with the diffuser?
Are you doing this as part of an aero kit or is it just for looks?
I wonder if this was done properly (for the sole purpose of aerodynamics) how much difference it would make...

I like it. That silver ph1 looks nice with it- what ever its from.
LOL. You f**king idiot.
Looks good 
how are you planning on attaching it to the bumper? I had a right pig of a job trying to fit it to mine.
edit: and how are you going to support the undertray
Looks awesome when its done IMO, really adds to the back of the car
Here's my effort...
painted mine bmw carbon black, suits Monaco blue perfectly

Looks like it was meant to be there

Thanks had a ball ache fitting it to the bumper, I'm very interested to see how the OP is going to tackle it.
he has it easier though as there's a line across the back of the Clio bumper for the insert to follow and it seems the perfect height to mount it too.
had to chop my boot floor out too lol

I will be doing a guide as to how I fitted it but will do that when complete only really get the odd weekend due to work. As for fitting it to the car I won't be attaching it to the bumper other than a few clips that you use to hold the front bumper to the wing, the rest will be on Zeus clips and bonnet pins.

Ahh should be nice and easy to remove then too.
its a 2 man job for mine as its all attached
That's what I was going for.. As it will be a purpose built track car so looks don't really bother me.. Obv I want it to look neat but having it smoothed into bumper was a no no as I'd hit the kitty litter and it would just crack..
I had to remove boot floor too lucky the 182 has a stitched on panel so I ground the welds and split it so looks o.e.m
Although so far it's down as a 172 with a 182 boot floor with a 197 diffuser and will be running 200 brembos :/
Cut and shut comes to mind lol
I've got to say yours look ace!
Lol mines like that.
megene 1.6 with a 2.0 engine, vw gearbox, fiat 4 pots, 197 diffuser, evo seats.
should call it Frankenstein lol.
i ended up just making a few panels out of 1.6mm steel and welding that into place, your lucky to have had the choice of a 182 floor
thanks took me hundreds of hours work well worth the effort though as I smile whenever I look at it

Once ive finished il put a build thread together just so you guys can get a feel if anyone else wants to do it.. So many ways of fitting just trying to get the rite 1 without the costs and skill needed.. Will update in a couple of weeks.
Wow that looks really good! Will keep an eye on this.
This may be a retarded question and someone might have already asked, but why have you cut out the spare wheel well?

Cheers dude.. The well had to be removed so that I could get the diffuser to the height I wanted plus make room for the 200 exhaust system

Needs cup/trophy spoiler. lol.
Would definatley finish it off then.
Can't work out if I like the bumper strip left in the back bumper or not.
It looks good but then the diffuser sits down too low.

Depends how much cutting you want to do.
I like that. I may chop up the bumper I have to see what can be done
