Badge off, bad boy plate welded on (made from a metro arch apparently!!!) then smoothed over
Anyone got a rear diffuser??? i really want to get one for my rear bumper cos with the 17s, the car looks too high and no one seems to make one. Ned??? i believe youve got a reiger rear diffuser off a fiat bravo??? does it fit straight on, or is there a lot of work envolved????
A mate of mine has a clio lowered approx 150mm!!!!! Im not lying, you cant get your foot under the side sill!!!!!! (the cars knacered now, sitting in his garage, he broke about 3 drivshafts!!!!) The car started out as an RSi (i think), but then hes put all 16v bits on to it ie wings bonnet rear...

By the way Ben, Scooby use about 7 different wheels anyway(gravel,mud,tarmac,ice etc), your probably right about the magnesium thingy, ill find out on Friday
The Prodrive boys are always in the pub i work at every friday, and ive been told by them the Scooby WRC runs the SuperL cos the alloy is about the same weight, but much stronger than magnesium
