Passat R36 rear lower bumper diffuser - sedan or wagon

[eurobahn5]

Hi, Adam here, I have completed some mild mods to my R36 sedan. One of them being a rear bumper lower diffuser which I designed and manufactured, they are now available for sale if anyone is interested. I think they look good but would love to here some of your opinions out there. I also have a universal(for any car)diffuser prototype being made...so stay tuned.http://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/forums/attachments/f27/15627-passat-r36-rear-lower-bumper-diffuser-sedan-wagon-img_1001-jpghttp://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/forums/attachments/f27/15628-passat-r36-rear-lower-bumper-diffuser-sedan-wagon-img_0997-jpghttp://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/forums/attachments/f27/15629-passat-r36-rear-lower-bumper-diffuser-sedan-wagon-img_1003-jpghttp://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/forums/attachments/f27/15630-passat-r36-rear-lower-bumper-diffuser-sedan-wagon-img_1002-jpghttp://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/forums/attachments/f27/15631-passat-r36-rear-lower-bumper-diffuser-sedan-wagon-img_1021-jpg

excellent idea, i have seen these on ebay for a while
your major problem is the price - how one can justify such a price for a small piece of plastic is bizzare

i would not pay over $100 for such a small piece of plastic and its only a matter of time before your idea is copied and sold for cheaper like everything else in the world

now if you sold it for say $75-100 you would have sold many hundreds and would have made more profit on volume than you will selling a couple at inflated price

best of luck

[Mr R36]

^ precisely

[eurobahn5]

Thanks for your input, i'll think about lowering the price. Adam

[eurobahn5]

Also, they are made here in NSW, not China, you'd be surprised how much I get charged to have them made up ! :eek:

[XXX-1.8T]

Maybe look at getting them made in China :)

More profit for you and cheaper for customers.

Also do you have any pictures on the car i want to see the whole car?

[Passat R36]

Not able to see it in your photos or just me?

[XXX-1.8T]

me too sorry cant see it?

[Elmura]

Are those wheels 18-inch Volks? Also, the pics fitted don't do any justice

[eurobahn5]

Hi, they are 18" OZ racing. sorry bout pics, will try to get some new ones...

Other Modifications -

OZ Racing rims


Nitto tyres


DSG tune


Space saver spare wheel


Brake upgrade - pads / rotors / fluid / lines


Suspension upgrade - sway bars / bushes / links


Engine torque rod lower bush insert


BMC air filter


Replacement exhaust resonator


Liqui Moly oils / fluids

Plus, about to put on.. Biltsein B8 shocks, ST springs and Kmac adjustable strut top mounts

[Mr R36]

Wow those rims work well. R36 is a toughie to pull off but they look fitting especially with the colour of the car.

Group buy rear valance? :p

I'll ask to get a quote on CF too

[eurobahn5]

Since talking to you guys yesterday I have now decided toreduce the price on the rear diffuser to $195.00 + post ($199.00 ebay), so hopefully now I can receive some orders !
Sorry what is CF ?

[Mr R36]

Carbon fibre (yes it will be very expensive and probably not worth it)...just entertaining the idea

[BoraBora]

They look fun, did you happen to wind tunnel test them? Would love to see a vid of that with and without the diffuser. Doubt i'll ever be going fast enough to warrant one, but I know where to find them now :)
