This is quite possibly my favourite GT4 out there.



I spoke to the owner and he said he made everything him self.
Now I too make quite a few things and though Im not a fan of the lights and spoiler I do want to make the diffuser and canards.
Canards are already available to buy from almost anywhere but the diffuser....
I can't think of a good way to tackle this because it's really difficult to lay fibreglass neatly upside down.
The flat over the bumper is easy as you have the bumper to lay on but the blank gaps???

So here's the question for those DIY guru's out there:

How would you make this diffuser?

Ray,

I would start by making a larger flat sheet of fiberglass off the car that is still able to curve/bendable, then cut it down and put it on the car and then continue working there. Rear diffusers on the main horizontal plain are largely a completely flat surface with a slight curve so that approach might be a start.

OR

you can use fleece / t-shirt and stretch it into place and resin that for a base then move on to fiberglass and mold making. This is commonly used for sub enclosures but might also work for this application.

That wing is also a crap load of rubbish. A real functional wing that is that big would have the supports go THRU the hatch and bolt directly to the frame. It wouldn't be pushing on the hatch itself.
