I've seen their diffuser in person. They make good stuff and I plan to order a splitter from them, but for the price of the GP diffuser it's tough to beat.

Hey gang, I'm really interested in the GP diffuser. I'm wondering if I can make it work on my JCW Roadster. I was looking at some photos I pulled off the web of the GP, and I noticed the very small extensions behind the rear wheels on the arches. They look like the result of wind tunnel tuning. Does anyone any information on this?

Man, I'll bet all those GP2 owners will start getting annoyed that non-GP owners can just buy stuff that was made to provide some exclusivity to the GP.

Please post some pictures once you installed it. I'm ordering a JCW coupe soon. And I want to get this diffuser as well.

Talked to my MA buddy about these awhile back as I've been trying to find a way to get some since the day I saw the first GP2 pics and he's placing the order for me. The delivery situation is goofy so its a crapshoot for when any of us will get them but what the heck I'm in no hurry.

Btw Bluetoy the diffusers will definitely fit the Roadster.

Thanks for the info Andrew! I'll see what I hear about parts in Chicago.

I know it will fit the bumper fine, it's the Roadster braces that might require a little rework...we'll see. I'm going to place an order. Thanks for the link, Aaron is always on top of things at OutMotoring.

I ordered the GP2 Diffuser from www.Outmotoring.com, it should arrive Tuesday. Much cheaper than ordering it from England. My local dealer told me they showed part numbers but no availability. Interesting that outmotoring can get it but not the dealer.

How much was the shipping? I saw it said the shipping is more because its coming from Europe. I emailed them and am waiting to hear back.

I just placed an order as well. No word yet on shipping, when I checked out there was no shipping fees shown, but I'm sure that will change.

I ordered mine late Friday night 1/25. Got the email it shipped Wednesday on the 30th. Tracking says it is on the truck for delivery today. Ordered from Outmotoring.com, free shipping. The additional shipping costs incur if you are shipping internationally, not domestically.

Not sure what their stock is but they aren't asking much more for it than the dealer charges, plus our discount, plus free shipping. Less of a hassle IMO.

I will post pics of the pieces maybe tomorrow when I am back in town.

Did Outmotoring confirm that it was free shipping. I have just enough money for the diffuser but I don't want to get slammed with freight costs. Or is it free shipping using the code?

Do we know if the Outmotoring kit includes the 6 missing screws that are needed for proper assembly?

They have a promotion running now that includes free shipping on orders over $195.

I don't know if they come with the screws or not, I will not be home to verify package contents until tomorrow.

Mine just arrived from Outmotoring. I had the wife check the contents and it doesn't look like the screws are included with the kit. I assume they are for the tunnels below?

Actually, the screws that attach the tunnels to that piece should be on the tunnels. It's the 6 screws that attach the tunnels to the brackets that I didn't have and needed to get from the dealer.

Would they be these screws that are already seated on the left? I am just trying to tell if they came with them or not. It's hrd when I am out of town

Yes, those screws attach the left and right air duct to the main center air duct that you attach in place of the bottom portion of you JCW bumper. The holes at the right (2 on that metal plate and 1 just below the metal plate) are where that air duct attaches to the bracket. There are three on each and those screws are not included. The brackets attach using the existing screws that attach the rear of your exhaust to the chassis. This is exactly how mine came from the dealer.

Are the screws that are needed the same as the ones that are included? This way I can just grab one of the included screws and run to the local hardware shop and ask them for "6 more of these" since I'm no expert on screws and their many variations.

That's correct - they screw into the same threaded metal clip as the other ones do. I took a clip off of the bracket and a screw to my dealer to try and match as closely as possible. You want to make sure the screw will thread into the clip properly.
