Bro....it's underneath the car.

How could that "totally kill the look of the Mk3"?

As far as it looking stupid...it's like Forrest Gump said, "stupid is as stupid does".

Sounds like someone's having a bad day.

Maybe you're talking about canards, not a splitter.

The splitter, I wouldn't mind. The canards, neh.

What exactly does a rear diffuser do? I looked it up and came up with this: The purpose of the diffuser is to allow the air that has been accelerated (so that its higher speed can produce a lower pressure) under the car to decelerate back to close to the same speed and pressure it was before the car ran into it. The better the diffuser works, the less drag the underwing produces.


didnt really understand it though, maybe im just retarded. :1zhelp:

Sorry guys, :nono:

For race cars: so that the car could go faster, by improving aerodynamics.

For us: so that the car looks like it could go fast. :naughty:

Nope you guys got it all wrong... it's supposed to prevent people from drafting behind you. :biglaugh: My guess anyway. :icon_razz

It's kinda like an airplane wing.

The front is blunt, like a MK3
The middle has a hi (lift) lo (not lifting) pressure area underneath
The end has a taper to smooth it out

This is the end of the wing, that is your flying A70..

Not that it kills, but I don't like it much. It's just too much, and doesn't fit right. IMO
