AAhh I need some of these to complete my KT replica!
How much and who from m\'man?

Got these from RHD japan, with shipping and two disapointing Feed badges it came to £290 ish and then another £30 on import duty! (be warned though as they don`t come with any holes drilled for assembly or fitting).

They look sweet Gary! As if your car couldn\'t look any better.  I think the diffuser would definitely finish the car off nicely, but having seen how low your back end it, I can see your concerns about scrapage.

And I\'ll be mindful not to get too close to the car at the next MK meet, incase I suffer some nasty cuts at the hands of your canards :evillaugh

They\'re funky.

Much as I hate to admit it, I think Jit may be right. I think it\'s one of those things that\'s down to MOT testers discretion, about general condition of bodywork and having no sharp bits sticking out too far. I had one take exception to a Big Gay Wing I had on a previous car, even went to the lengths of getting his spirit level out to check it didn\'t stick out further than the rear fenders. It\'d have to be an especially maniacal nazi tester to fail you for something like that, but as we all know, they\'re out there!

Isn\'t canard French for "duck"? Funny name for \'em

I miss the feed ones when I had them on mine and with the side stregthening panel they look really good!! Really finish off the front end! Have you got an undertray, that\'ll make a big difference too.
Cheers

My bro has the APR canards on his \'5 and we take them off prior to MOT just to be sure.  He hasnt had any problems with the boys in blue tho, and it is a daily driver.  I have however heard they can request you to remove them...sure youll be fine tho :)

As for a rear diffuser go for the RE A type 1 (street) diffuser as it defo doesnt catch on mine and its pretty close to the weeds.  Looks more subtle too!  Failing that there is the Sanai Works diffuser, but this may be even closer to the ground?

I think they look great! :Thumbs-up
 
I had a good look around your car at Rotorstock and it really is a nice example... I was very close to buying it when it went up on Neweras website, but I just spent too long making the descision :rolleyes:
 
I think a rear diffuser will definitely finish the car off (I\'m planning the same myself), but I don\'t know what they\'re like for clearance. Hopefully it\'s not an issue.

Looking good Gary.  Thinking about a diffuser myself, this one looks quite mad, sideskirts not bad either.

Cheers for the ideas Rob but not to sure how they would sit with the wider rear arches, really want to go with something like on Initial D`s, got to be carbon though to match the rest!

Cheers Macer, I was also looking at your motor on Newera I tried to get the Misses to buy it, looks absolutly fantastic mate. Has it been delivered yet? ( I wouldn`t have been able to wait for it!)
