I know I will get shot down in flames by the purists, but as I'm looking at painting options for my car whilst it has its headlight conversion i'm interested in the following front spoiler and rear diffuser to beef it up a little.

I have had a search around and cannot find much on either, so any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.....

Are you referring to a previous post of mine? If so, it turned out that the big fan had died, which is now replaced smile

erm.. no. sincerely hope it didn't cause any damage though.
I was referring to how inefficient the water pump is when you need it most! ie at idlesmile
No, I was monitoring the temps and noticed that something wasn't right before it got into dangerous limits. The car has the cooling chip so I knew fans were playing up - no damage.

Im looking at the splitter option purely for cosmetic reasons as I'm planning a front end paint.

fair enough - hope you get the colour spot on smile
I need a front end respray but am worried about how it will blend in with the rest of the car, so wonder if a full respray would be in the answer, in which case I would probably go for a colour change.

lots to think about.

(still waiting for my Note2 to test you app..... frustrating)

You need to be careful adding aero to a car. It is very easy to change the grip levels front and rear and could make it very unstable at speed especially if you have standard springs. I speak form experience having fitted a large splitter to the front of my griff which made it very tail happy on turn in at speed and now have a rear undertray and top spoiler etc to get the blance right. Mine is basically a track car so grip is all important but just tacking bits on without fully understanding the effects may not be the best decision for a road car.

Btw the standard small front splitter on a cerb adds a lot of front grip but of course you can't see it.
Interesting. Had not considered that......
