Curved or slash close to the original I reckon

The loss of airflow/down force with a straight cut sticking out from the bottom would be unfathomable!

Downforce lol.

If there is any downforce generated some of it will be acting through the rear bumper, a part well known for its structural rigidity

redzed has a spectacular aura aboutredzed has a spectacular aura about
looks good but you need to paint it black! it shouyld have an effect on downforce by allowing air to travel under it better than the scoop that is the mgs normal bumber

Bumper sag at high speeds then! Lower CoG!
All gains! No drawbacks!

I always think that the bumper shape lends itself more to a parachute!

I agree with you about the standard bumper acting like a parachute, it needs a closing panel on the bottom to stop it from trapping so much air.

The colour of the diffuser does need seeing to, I have some Black trim wax which should darken it quite a bit, and is less work than painting it.

That looks excellent, I would go with inward rolled and slash cut to same contour as the diffuser myself. very good price you been quoted too I reckon

I was thinking a carbon wrap but exhaust heat will ruin it.
Bit of rear undertray project next Pete?

Haha, getting too cold and wet for them I suppose!
I've got the brakes, heated screen and rehang the rear bumper left to do! And no dry days to do it!
