Clio diffuser - Page 3

The exhaust is going to need some thought, some rough measurements point to it needing some re-jigging, but when I get the bumper and diffuser trial fitted I'll have more of a clue how it's going to fit, I've already decided to trim some of the diffuser away to make it fit the spare wheel well more easily, it won't make any visual difference unless someone gets on their hands and knees under the back of the car

No new pics, sorry !.

But I've finished painting the new bumper, and removed the old one, and the damaged crush cans, i knew the car had a small love tap on the rear end some time in its life, and the old bumper had a gash repair and repaint, it is in fact cracked from top to bottom on the r/h side, all held together with filler on the outside

.

I've also contacted Pro Speed exhausts in Cardiff for a ball park figure for a dual outlet system to suit the diffuser, I was going to get a Blue Flame like the one on our 180, but they are £600 these days

Pro Speed reckon £270 incl vat and fitting for a suitable dual outlet system, so I think when I put the rear suspension, bumper and diffuser back on, + mot, a trip to Cardiff will be in order.

Fitted, next is to get it mot'd, then a trip to Pro Speed for a dual outlet exhaust.

A couple of quick pics.

Nice number plate!
You going for a flush looking exhaust to match the curve of the splitter?

Looks so massively long that one you have now!
Was it flush on the old bumper?

Looks like its meant to be there!

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

So, after an immense break in progress, today was the day that I fitted the dual outlet system, the good news is that the 180 dual pipe system lines up really nicely with the holes in the Clio diffuser, I would have got the test install finished but for a pipe measuring glitch, and not having any spare pipe of the correct diameter.

Something else I learned is not to waste your money on those ebay pipe expanders, as much use as a chocolate teapot, but I guess you get what you pay for.

I need to get some extensions made for the tail pipes as the currently finish short of where they need to be, pictures will follow once I'm done, I might even get round to the Clio diffuser how to.
