. . . . that's all you need (unless your 150mph +, ie modded to hell). These settle to car in a straight line, otherwise the body provide all the downforce you need.
Will it change the balance of the car? Have you done anything to balance the downforce on the front? I assume that Lotus balanced the airflow and aerodynamics on the original bodywork.
I have to admit that the diffuser does look tight, but does it really offer any performance improvements?
The car in the pic is a guy I know, not mine. To be honest my personal feeling is that it's not something that's a must have from a pure aerodynamics perspective.
The "natural" aerodynamics of the car are v good, as I said these "settle" the car a little better at speed, both the front and the rear we're designed by an F1 designer and are produced by Autostyle Solutions.
But it depends what you intend to do with the car, if your gonna race it then that a whole different situation, if it's a road / track day car then a mere mortal like me will be happy with the esthetics of it.
The 111S already has the diffuser, correct? I was under the impression that the one model that is coming to the states will have the diffuser, but now that I think of it, I have no idea why I'm under that impression. :shrug::
Is the autostyle diffuser any better than the Lotus version? It certainly sticks out more (can't say I'm a fan of that).
LOL ...a lot of guys over here in the UK dont even bother with a front plate....especially if they are running the lower sports suspension...too many speed bumps

Thanks to Rob (who pointed out the obvious vacuum source, DOH!:wallbang: ), I re-invented the whole thing and it is working great for me. One hour ride yesterday that was nice and cold. Heat comes on very quickly after switching out of bypass mode...
Like a bunch of people here, I wasn't really satisfied with the seats on my '05. For short periods they were ok, but after a couple of hours the thin butt-padding and poorly placed lumbar support was really detracting from the fun of driving the car. I sat in a couple of '06 (both Elise and...
Dear friends:
My right arm keeps getting tired not having an armrest for my right arm (left hand steering model) on my 2018 Evora 400. Anyone know if I can purchase a reasonably priced factory OEM somewhere to fit. The dealer wants an arm and a leg. If I give them my arm I won't need the...
I wanted to share my experience and hopefully hear more about yours. I purchased the roof from a fellow LT member a few months ago. I've since had it painted (it was red) and had new upholstered roof liners made. However, the new liners are considerably heavier than the original foam ones...
