NEED!! CARBON REAR DIFFUSER!!

Post by RS04_EBS » Fri Jan 15, 2016 6:20 pm

hey guys just placed an order for a agressive style front splitter for my audi rs4 b7 from argon creative,

question is has anyone else had this fitted and if so any pics?

also has anyone sourced a rear diffused, plenty people talking about it but dosent seem to be anything about, dont want to buy anything from ebay for my rs4 as dont trust the quality,

argon have said there rear diffuser is under construction so may take many months before they devolop one.

any help would be much appreciated.

thanks

Aki

Argon are quite slow so wouldn't hold your breath for the rear one.
Only rear one I've seen is a member on here from Finland I think.

I thought it was rob-s that had done this but looking back through the threads he actually had his sprayed gloos black not carbon.
They guy I was thinking about was Mates and you can see it here:

There was a sprint blue Avant for sale in the classifieds a good few months a go at least, which had a carbon diffuser. Mike, I'm sure you commented on that one. I can't seem to find the thread though.

Not ringing any bells Marc. Sure it wasn't the one above?

Definitely an Avant. Will try to find it. Not sure if it was clear where it came from though.

That's right! Mine is gloss black. You probably know it already but the diffuser is not a removable part of the rear bumper so cutting is required.

You're almost there :thumbs:

Originally the first one that I became aware of was on a Sprint Blue Avant owned by forum member RED_ROCKET, which was then sold onto another forum member. It was a custom one off piece. More recently a European saloon popped up in the classifieds which also had a custom carbon diffuser, which to me didn't look as good.

Anyway, in accordance with Rule 1 here are the links to the original threads with pictures:

I love that diffuser Mates has on his car.

I wonder if there's anyone in the UK that could make it for a reasonable cost if we could get a few orders in place. Not Argon. My dead goldfish moves faster than them.

There is a company in Asia that the E46 guys use for CSL diffusers. They were cheap and apparently fit fairly well. I'll see if I can get the details as potentially they could be approached for something like this. They did group buys, etc and seemed to work well with the community on their forum.

Anyone got a decent pic of the back end of the car? I've contacted the company and they've asked for this. I don't have one to hand of my own, also would be better for it to not be a dark colour car for contrast.

Anyone know if the diffuser is actually part of the rear bumper? Something tells me it is, so would be harder to do.
