The parts you did looks very nice, the finishing is always amazing when it comes to your build, stunning

However, as Phil said on a previous threads about rear diffusers (quite a long time ago), it might help to reduce the "parachute effect", but certainly not stop it, as air will always comes from the wheels openings, where the wishbones are. Unless you close this area (and it would be quite difficult to do, considering the wishbone arms and drive shafts has to go through), air will always find its way and the rear tube act like a parachute. The only good way to suppress this parachute effect would be to cut holes in the rear tube so the air can escape. Just my humble opinion

But the rear diffuser you designed and built can't be harmful anyway, very nice job

For multi-quote, I just open different instances of the forum on my browser, ans copy-paste.
