Just out of curiosity are there any UK companies making generic rear diffusers, or who can custom make them ?

There are plenty of companies making ones designed for particular cars which I suppose you could fit to something else with a bit of fettling.

Do you know any companies that I could contact about it?

It's not something I could do at the moment but just starting to do my homework!

Try poking around on forums for cars which are likely to have them fitted. I only really know anything about Elise ones made by companies like:

http://www.reverie.ltd.uk/diffusers.php

Actually they do have a generic fit/motorsport section on their site.

To be honest, with a bit of welding skill and some sheet steel, you could make one yourself. OK it might not be as efficient as a professionally designed, wind tunnel tested one, but it'd probably be as good as something produced cheaply by a small company and would be a damn slight cheaper.

Cheers guys !

Really appreciate it.
In fact I've spotted one that looks identical to an American one but for a different car, so I may contact both companies to find out measurements wink
States = carbon fibre = £650
UK = fibreglass = £150
biggrin
