thats the first aftermarket part that i quite like. Not at all in your face, and uses the majortity of 'shape' of the original part. Nice find

Very nice item, I like it a lot. And I normally hate aftermarket body panels. Only one question - how far forward does it go and is it properly done or just cosmetic? A low hanging diffuser like that will act like an air brake under the rear unless it is matched to the underbody fairly well.

Its a photochop. Because the design of crates mean that to put in a 'proper' diffuser, you'd have to remove the fuel tank.

you could actually do this and blend it with the fuel tank and it would work pretty efficiently

NAh I reckon you could wrap one round it fairly well, the shape of the tank cover is fairly close already. I'd been wondering about doing an entire-body underpan but its yet another of those plans that goes un-done due to lack of time and finance.

If you boys had bought proper 4's you wouldn't need a diffuser.

LOL bazza, the 165 has the aerodynamics of a house brick  ;D

Not sure it would be worth while myself either but it would cover the ugly tank.
