fitting re-amemiya diffuser

[gsb876]

Only knew about the heatshield as the chap fitting it said "bit close to the exhaust ain\'t it" ? So i says "and" ?

He said " well after a long journey it\'ll burn nicely" !!!! :rollin :rollin :rollin

Hence the heat shield will be inplace under the exhaust

Ive had mine on for about a year with no heat shield with no problems.

Mine will sit very close to the exhaust so will require the heat-shield as rather be safe than sorry, however if it hangs quite a decent space from the exhaust then yes it will be ok.

Mine didn\'t come with the 3 extra metal bits but was attached using the two side supports and the front diffuser support where the metal bits would go (used a nylock bolts and self tapping screws to attach to the underside of the rear fenders) You\'d probably also want to add some beading around the supports where they attach to the rear fenders to make it look a bit neater. Its solid and wouldn\'t budge a mm!!

The diffuser touched the bottom of my exhaust and didn\'t get damaged whatsoever from heat - it reverberated at high RPM which made it sound like a spitfire which was an added bonus!!

Not sure if you fitted it yet matey, but mine has been done this morning and took 3 hrs labour to do it, had to sand the side down to get it to fit properly and then make additional bracket mounts to get it in to plac properly.

Heres some pics, apologies for quality as car is backed onto drive

I think you suppose to take that black plastic bit off on the rear bumper.

Looked too bare with it off so left it on

[SCOOMER]

What is this bit? is it your side support brackets?

(DONT ANSWER THAT, ITS YOUR VEILSIDE SPATS)

Scoomer,

Thats an extreme close up of the veilside rear spats which have stayed on also

Better pic taken today after much polishing

Hello chaps. I was just wondering, what\'s the upwards facing surface like on your diffusers? I\'ve just bought a replica one and the top side looks like the inside of a pedal\'o. The underside looks awesome, perhaps I\'m being too fussy!

[Initial-D]

It all depends on how much glass fiber and resin they used, personnally I prefer a little more resin as it smoothes over all the glass fibers.

[MillSpeed]

Yeah, the fibers are quite visible on mine. Do you recon I could put some more resin on there? Sorry if that\'s a stupid question, have very little experience with GRP
