Hi

I always thought the shape of the underside of the rear valance on a Griffith would lend itself to the fitment of a nice Carbon Fibre diffuser, similar to the Ferrari 430, etc.
Has anyone ever done this or would anyone be interested if I got one designed and manufactured?

Markh - who's working on your Chimaera diffuser? I was going to talk to Tim at ACT about designing and making one in Carbon Fibre.

Quinny - Don't worry - I think the Griffith rear looks fab too - I'm talking about something very discrete - it would span the full width and incorporate the twin tailpipes. Hopefully give some real downforce so would have to be physically attached to the chassis.

I would also like to design a better spoiler for under the nose as well - hey let's make a full smooth undertray in CF - anybody got access to a wind tunnel?

I have a few friends who are aeronautical engineers - I'll run it past them and come up with a design if possible.

Thank you Richb.

I had an interesting chat with Tim from ACT - apparently he's making such a 'beastie' at the moment. Watch this space.
