I wonder who Kia have worked with for the chassis tuning, we may be surprised?
Well Hyundai/KIA are no strangers to bringing in outside expertise to sort their more sporty offerings. As far back as 1996, they brought Porsche in to tune the chassis on the 1st Gen Hyundai Coupe, (the curvy one after the S Coupe).Limpet said:

Never heard of hg failure effecting timing belt before?
The timing belt needs to be removed to allow the cylinder head to be removed, and you should never refit a used timing belt. It's bad engineering practice. It is a bit fussy, but is a hodgepodge of other brand designs really. These follow a set hot hatch design pattern, most having little or noo effect of the aerodynamics of rhe car.

From all of those cars pictured above the Clio 200 diffuser is claimed to be fully functional! I remember seeing some downforce figures (possibly 70kg at 130km/h)... But cannot find this literature at the moment.
I would be astonished if a diffuser that short on a car with that much ground clearance could generate 7kg let alone 70!Besides, is the Clio really lacking in rear-end grip?

The actual diffuser length is about 40cm and the smooth area runs fully under the car, but the pictures do make it look much shorter. Yes I do own one
