[adam172]

have been thinking about how to make a rear diffuser for the ph1. came up with this, looks pretty oem imo!

opinions -

Thats a 197 diffuser

 

[Rob]

Your photoshop skills need some work, and I think it would be a HUGE amount of effort but if you pulled it off, it'd look awesome!

meh both the same from the back :rasp:

 

[keechy]

looks good but wouldnt it be hard to actually make and fit?

using a note book with the finger pad thinggy is not helping lol.

major effort to ever get it to ACTUALLY WORK but it does look pretty good!

 

[DaveDreads]

Looks good, not sure about the exhaust tip sticking out though.

 

[Matt Cup]

Do it!

Bit off topic but there's a guy on Passionford who grafted one on to his Escort RS Turbo, certainly looked different.

[DaveDreads]

No exhaust tips looks the best IMO.

 

[banderson]

I really like that! Muchos improvement over a standard ph1 bumper I you could graft one on there

 

[one in a million]

that would look mad, go for it an i will personally shake your hand an rate you for it

 

[adam172]

Anybody willing to donate a ph1 rear bumper and a cheap 197/200 diffuser

I am proper tempted to have a go at this when I come back from Ibiza !!!

 

[Big_Phil]

I've been mocking one up for my ph2 clio, but making if from ali. You can rivet or bolt them to the rear bumper and then to the floor pan. That does look like a really good idea using a 197 diffuser. Look forward to seeing the outcome of this bud. Good work!

 

[Rob]

Rivetting could be a nice idea... to them proper tidy and make it look like it's supposed to be on show.

im currently doing this to my mk1 ph2 megane. its a nightmare if the wheel well comes anywhere near the bottom of the bumper, ive had to chop my wheel well out lol.

looks the tits mocked up on my car tho, even if i do say so myself. only half way there still and like i said epic amount of work!

ohh and btw, dont want to piss on your bonfire, but the diffuser is a lot wider than that you have photoshopped on my meggy its about 6 inches each side off the edge of the car. and im guessing my meg is slightly wider than your clio?

 

[R-Sport.]

Needs to be gloss black...

GO the whole hig & add a cup spoiler for the works... ( 200 cup spoiler)

Would look good with trophy spoiler

[mikey123]

Looks great! Something different that works!
Lokks alot better without the tips.

 

[adam172]

does anybody know how wide a 197 diffuser is?

 

[Jaff.]

see my edit on my post lol. its probably as wide as your bumper is

got any pics?

 

[CountryBumpkin.]

Ktec managed to do it with the megane. But it looks to sit quite wide.

not to hand mate but i can get some on wednesday for you. but like i said before you go spending your money check how low your wheel well sits and how far back it is. if its too low or far back then your looking at a lot of work to get it to fit.

ive had to cut my wheel well out and weld a plate in the boot instead, mainly to get a dual exhaust too (which btw your exhaust will be in the wrong place) so its a lot of work.

not trying to put you off or anything because it looks aweosme but its a lot more work than just cutting a bumper and bolting it on unfortunatley

 

[adam172]

another problem is the diffuser has the holes the exhaust! it needs to be a blank diffuser, there's a few on ebay for imprezas and stuff.

tbh i doubt i will do it, i wouldnt mind giving it a go if i had the parts to hand as i think it looks awesome !

 

[Jaff.]

well put it this way the diffuser wasent cheap second hand. and thats after i found one. so its not a cheap mod expesially because theres so much work involved to fit it

 

[Gaz_]

you'd need to chop the wheel well out for a start. The diffuser goes well back under the MK3. I'll get you some measurement when i nip out later
Has been done before mind you,

 

[Knuckles]

^^ that wouldn't look bad if it was clean... And itd have to be gloss black, that looks like a tacky body kit as it is

I think it'd look better on a ph1 though

 

[koi]

The ps looks good. If the diffuser is too wide maybe you can chop a section out the middle to make it smaller?

 

[DaveDreads]

Doesn't look as good as i'd thought, I think the bumper strip doesn't look right, probably look alot better on a ph1.

 

[adam172]

yea i think it would look better on a ph1 bumper and it cant be body colour it definitely needs to be black or carbon

 

[Kam.]

PH1 has the spare wheel well which will need cutting out..

 

[adam172]

could it not just go under this? the wheel well isnt lower than the bottom of the bumper is it? or is it?

 

[domjolly]

Would look epic!!!! I got a ph1 rear bumper in my garage has a bit of damage to it but might be ok for a mock up, was gonna throw it out

 

[adam172]

dom were in england do you live?

 

[DaveDreads]

If your cutting into ther rear bumper then it would be mounted higher than the wheel well,
it's only an inch or so higher than the rear bumper.

 

[Jaff.]

youl be suprised mate, the wheel well on my car was level with the bottom of the bumper, which is too low, and too far back so the sweep of the diffuser wouldent clear the back
