That's got to be an extra 200bhp right there.

More with the spoiler and more again when it's painted.

Really?! I can’t wait to get it on the rolling road now! :thumbsup:

But for clarification, I am aware that adding a splitter, two side skirts, a rear diffuser, a rear spoiler, all the nuts, bolts, rivets and bonding to fit, wrap at the front, A-pillars, sides and rear, along with 19” wheels, all in an effort to make the car look quicker will actually have resulted in making it slower due to weight gain :rofl:

I like it :thumbsup: . Are you going to upgrade the exhaust / tailpipes?

I did install a full 3” stainless but it was such a poor fit mainly due to the 3” bore I sent it back. In talks now to either upgrade to a quad conversion or straight forward backbox replacement

Not my cup of tea but if it floats your boat that's all that matters.
 
Pleased you are doing this to a roadster and not spoiling the lines of a beautiful E86 coupe. Just my 2 cents worth :o

Looks good buddy, does it bolt onto the existing bumper or did you have to cut bumper?

Personally I'd think it'd look better as a quad, that's what I'm planning to have done very shortly.

This is what’s out of the box so I had to get creative with black wrap as I’ve already done on the front, sides and A-pillars. It bolts directly to it and I had the exhaust cutout shape copied to to the other side to see symmetry and yes it’s made me want a quad conversion more than ever ha!

Good on you my friend!
Can I be cheeky and as for a lin to the diffuser?

Not cheeky at all mate - what’s the point in sharing if not to inspire others :thumbsup:
