Thinking of doing this to my car..?

[The Fatty]

I have the splitter already, just not 100% sold yet... hmm. Opinions? im also concerned it would create a drag, and maybe try and blow off?!

 

[Iain C]

dont like it soz.

 

[BoatNonce]

Design it properly and it'll be OK. Be nice to have something different!

 

[Welsh.Dan]

In not 100%, but I'm more for it than against.

 

[thedjse]

Do it!

 

[levaz]

I like it, think it should go up to the trim in the bumper though

 

[N4TH4N]

Personally don't think it suits the 182 rear end.

 

[VR46-G@Z]

It doesn't suit the 182, they got the rear right originally. Nice to see someone with imagination though! :smile:

 

[LiamR172]

I think it looks good. Don't see how it will create drag?

 

[robhoops]

I think it looks good in photos, maybe it will also look alot better in person too... I have always liked the 197/200 rear view and I do think it suits it. As someone said above, if its done properly it will look good :smile:

 

[Scrooge]

Definitely do it!

 

[Addicted]

Looks good tbh.

 

[ThomasTurbo]

I like it, think it should go up to the trim in the bumper though

I agree i think it would look really smart but needs to go all the way to the trim

 

[Advikaz]

Could look ok if done well.

 

[banther]

I think that looks awesome!! Seems to follow the curve of the trim above it too which makes it look almost OEM.

Go for it!

 

[MarkCup]

Definitely definitely definitely do it.

I think that looks great!

 

[imprezaworks]

Mmmm. 50/50.

 

[bozothenutter]

like it!
Take it up a bit higher though so the top edge is de grey strip, and hide the exhaust tips in the diffuser so it is properly blown.

see attached paint disaster, excuses my mad paint skillzz

 

[JakeyCUK]

Not as it stands but I think that could work if redesigned

Good job. I thought the same but after seeing this I actually prefer the original version. Its a but more subtle and oem looking.

I say go for it. More I look the more likey [emoji7]

 

[Knuckles]

Make the top of the diffuser flush with the top of the bumper insert

could you not do this ?? i think this looks great, and if you don't like it you could peel it off... I run a digital printers, i,m sure #I could print the imagine of the defuser at the right size..

Sound odd, but saves F++king up you bumper...

 

[Matt W]

That's possibly the best thing i've read on here.

Put a sticker of a diffuser on it.

Just think of the imagine.

 

[Ethan1996]

50/50 too, needs to go to the trim above I think.

Might get myself stickers made up, v6 intakes for sides [emoji5]

can we see this, but shopped and not painted?

I prefer the original, but the paint effort is probably what's swaying that decision. lol

 

[bozothenutter]

Lol.........paint is all we have at work.

The splitter isn't physically large enough to go to the to top of the other trim (like in that paint shop). Probably the most it could move up is as follows, as it cant really be made to fit with the angle in the bumper above this. Any better?

 

[Knuckles]

Maybe put the diffuser at more of an angle to make up for moving it up?

 

[The Fatty]

also toying with the idea of doing this, but I think i'm about 30yes/70no at the moment...

 

[markclio]

:weary:

you would get a gap somewhere do to the lip on the rear bumper even if you angled it.

 

[cat171]

The number plate on the bumper looks mega sh*t! The actual diffuser thingy looks nice though.

yep think I agree - which is good as less work for me

 

[The Fatty]

:weary:

why are you weary?

 

[JackJack]

Do it, leave the number plate on the boot though.

I have actually considered that, but I think one of the reasons I want to do this is because I dont think the rear bumper sits low enough, and this wouldn't help on this front. thanks for the suggestion though!

Now THAT is dreadful. Campus bootlid's are disgusting.

 

[Welsh.Dan]

100% No to bumper number plate [emoji43]

 

[The Fatty]

Ok thanks for the input guys I think I will be going ahead with this as a winter project.

Best tool to cut the bumper? I am thinking plunge circular saw on the long edge, jigsaw on the side bits?
