New extended rear diffuser on an S2 elise

[shangani]

Well chuffed with my replacement rear diffuser. The old aluminium one had corroded at the sites of the bolt holes and was increasingly difficult to fix in place - bigger and bigger washers required.

Got an extended anodised diffuser from Maddog (maddog71)- I think it makes the back of the car look really purposeful. Light and very well finished. The way they construct them looks as though they could be made to be compatible with the standard S2 rear grill as well, creating a 3 part diffuser (my old one was 3 part)

Anyway, thread is useless without pics:







Cheers Maddog - ample reward for the tyre wear at Oulton!

Hey, no picture shows up! I demand pictures!

[edit], no snags, seen the thread on SELOC - looks absolutely fab mate! How much if you don't mind me asking? And where can you get the replacement rear 111r style grill to fit?

Nice improvement for the look and probably for the pressure on the rear wheels. It seems no more necessary to had the rear exige spoiler... for those who undress their S...
Could you describe some difference at high speed?

Hi Trickster - send Maddog a U2U. I think the price will depend on interest and numbers. It will be in the same ballpart as a normal anodised one. He also does them with the 111r exhaust in mind, so no problems there - there are a couple of exige S2 ones out there already.


Ben - good to hear from you. How is the human plumbing trade going? I hope you enjoyed Abbeville - you apparently met my friend BJ (same car as yours). What a top bloke and extremely tidy and quick these days.

Re the diffuser - I don't know what high speed performance will feel like, but in reality, with elise ride heights it won't have much influence except on the fastest corners. What does feel different is the way thecar is going - freshly serviced and Dave (maddog) put on a great big Carbon Dynamic Airbox induction system on the car. He has gone to throttle bodies and this was left over from his old engine. The car was pulling better with me + Dave in the car than it normally does with me alone. Manifold going on soon and then I really will notice the difference!

Joke aside I actually like it, looking at the pictures of the 111R on Seloc on the same thread, it really does it justice...so are you leaving your spare bits in other peoples garages now...seeing as I commondered yours with mine!!

Will I see it 2moro @ Brands or are you too busy??

Lets meet up then.

Re the old undertray - Bits are in my garage. I had space after I sold your exhaust on saturday.

[Swiss Tone]

Ha nice one, so you must have bought those shoes with the (small) proceeds then!!!

Meeting up with Mitch (Michelle) on Dual Carriageway between A30 and M3 Junc 5 (Hook) in the layby at 4pm washed and polished, just like she always does

p.s. this is a Novoy for the records

[shangani]

I am joking about the zorst - I gave mine to iceblue. The shoes were a random pic off the net. However, my carbon induction system is real!
