Default Bugeye Diffuser

As it says, but not the HT Autos ones - I'm after a Varis style rear diffuser preferably in black but if the price is right I would consider carbon.



This is the style, happy to take a universal or one designed for other cars as long as it hasn't been drilled to death to fit

Also after the HT Auto style rear corner splitters...

Let me know what you've got

Not to keen on the factory ones, they're a bit subtle, but thanks anyway

Thanks mate, but I want it to run under the car and not be just cosmetic, also I've got some blob spats fitted which means that won't fit

That's exactly what I'm after mate, but with a lot of other things I want to get done I thought I'd try and get one second hand for less cash

I've fitted the OEM hawkeye sti diffuser.....but to fit a bugeye you also upgrade the ARB to a cusco one with the diffuser mounting points and brackets ;0) 1 mod led to another happy handling so not just looks......

Already got an uprated roll bar and I can get an OE hawk diffuser and fitting kit for just over a ton, but I don't want an OE one - I'm after the varis style one

Fitting kit? Where from? I bought the OEM diffuser and they don't fit unless you have the Cusco ARB a mate of mine has bought the diffuser and was waiting on me fitting the ARB before he goes out and gets the same.....so if you can just get a fitting kit pass the details on mate I will give him a shout ;0)

Erm, no you don't!

The ARB isn't changed, what's being fitted is an additional brace.



And fitted, before I swapped the OEM ARB for a Whiteline one;

Nope it's not a replacement. It wouldn't be very good if it was, it's narrower than the standard ARB.

Possibly helps stiffen the rear end up a little, and looks nice when new.

Looks tatty as hell after a couple of months though.

Yeh it got delivered today like you said looks good new.....might be worth getting it powder coated first, ive also got a prodrive diff guard am going to get brackets made for to drop it slightly as it looks like the diffuser will hide it once fitted

I was watching a CF one on the Bay last week for £160, same people who make the FRP one I am considering - ideally I'm after a second-hand one as I need a new gearbox and love a bargain

The type A diffuser is about the closest you do to the style shown in the first post. The dilemma is that your diffusers are aimed at the V8/9 rear bumpers and mine is a V7 which is different - I'd be loathed to pay money when I don't know how much adaptation would be needed whereas the universal varis one is quite a straight-forward fit
