the 197 diffuser is the one to work with over the 200 version.

the clio 197 (on some models) had a tailpipe slashed with the diffuser, so it didn't protrude. see pic in this thread...http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showt...haust-on-a-172

the diffuser needs quite a few mods before being used for a mould, such as blanking the 2nd exhaust hole, relocation of existing, moulding to rear of zs bumper so the fibreglass copies can be bonded to rear of bumper, and angle alignment so it sits flush with the wheel well and doesn't sit lower like this one which is probably causing more drag than any benefit the diffuser has...http://forums.xpowerforums.com/showthread.php?t=62225

cost is key here, I would be in at 100quid for a straight copy or 150quid for a well modded copy that will simply bond to the rear bumper and bolt to the wheel well with exhaust locations blanked and modified.

There are a couple of people already who are taking moulds of the diffuser, I will be buying the one which has had the time and effort put into it for an easy fit.

Let us know what the costs will be...
