Yeah it's in 3 parts.
Under the car there are two brackets. These bolt on to the spare wheel well. I really think it may need a bracket on the small section (to the left). I don't know if air getting under it will be too much of a problem though as the fuel tank is lower, so guess this would deflect the air away?

Just seem these:
BLACK ALUMINIUM POP RIVETS (PRB13) on eBay, also, Other Car Parts, Car Parts, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 24-Apr-09 14:49:33 BST)
Should be about the right size, although 10mm length would possibly be better..?
Thanks Chris, looking forward to seeing some more pics..

Is that using the standard bracket that came with it and no extras?
Also on the off chance, did it actually affect handling/feel at that sort of speed? Or was it all just a bit of a blur
Oh and one further thing.. anyone got any pics on what holes need to be drilled into the spare wheel well in order to fit the diffuser? Happy enough to drill additional holes on the under bumper but drilling into the boot is a bit more concerning..

yeah, I haven't used any other brackets than was sent.
I won't lie about handling....but really, I can't feel anything different. It's not helped anything, but hasn't hindered anything in the slightest.
My honest opinion is.........it's for looks. Nothing more. Went from my home town to Newcastle today, and got two 'where is that from mate' from strangers, so it must be making an impression. One guy was in a 530 BMW, which I started to worry in case he was the police checking up.
