Looks a bit deep to me. Shouldn't the back wheels be touching the ground?

Hi , yes it's an mnr one it's a little too wide for the Mk, so it has to sit slightly underneath the rear panel prob about 2cms

You get a metal strip that pop rivets to the floor and the diffuser slides in this, this holds the front up and it's bolted at each side inside the rear wheel arches.

I had to cut some off the front prob about 10cm as I have a reverse box hanging down.

I took the pic just after I had fitted it so it's still jacked up !!!!!

The diffuser hangs about 1cm below the diff , it covers the fuel pump underneath the tank which makes it look better.
It took a lot of cutting here and there , round the rear arches, once the rear was bolted up at the other side of the rear wheel arches it was nearly done but the centre was floppin a little so if the wind caught it could cause problems , I made a bracket and fibreglassed it to the inside of the diffuser the riveted to the underneath of the rear boot panel

Am not sure it would do anything but the wind under the car comes out smoothly at the rear

I am getting the car out today so I will add some pics and see what u think

Cheers

That looks good Raptor. Does it box in the area under the rear axle completely to give a flat surface for the airflow ?
