Guys

i normally dont start a build thread but was asked so thought why not!

The car is a 1.8tdci style - complete boggo whe i bought it

so, with the help of the super guides found on this and other forums i have managed to get it looking better. Plus with the help of my bargain hunting skills on ebay/multiple forums i'm on i have modified it.

thanks for the kind words peeps. project RS style diffuser is being built today. i shall say fibreglass is a pain in the *ss when it doesnt want to work....

Looks super, very nice!

sal how have you mounted your exhaust tips dude?

  • Author

I have a pipe running across the rear to which the tips are mounted and this is mated to the exhaust system

So they are dummy tips or working?

  • Author

Fully working mate

The original exhaust connects to the centre of that rear pipe so it smokes together

How much did it cost to do? I wanna get a similar set up. Your local ish to me arent you, can you hook me up?

LAWD HAVE MURCY!!

Soo many ideas now going through my head!!!

I need to find the bits and bobs you have!

I really liked the look of the RS rear diffuser and couldnt find one and was told the RS one wont fit the ST bumper so had a think about what i could do.


I then purchased a 2nd ST rear diffuser and cut out bits so that when placing 2 together it would create an RS look diffuser.



A couple of shots so you get the idea!
