#1: Bit of a wild rear bumper & quad exhaust idea, opinions? Author: lee1985, Location: North WestPosted: Thu Jul 11, 2013 12:25 pm ---- Okay so I have decided to get a Quad Janspeed exhaust just for show, yep that means another Janspeed cat-back on the other side of the bumper. I want all 4 exhausts to be part of the actual exhaust system though, not just tip ends.
Here is the difficult bit. Because of the 'ridge' on the exhaust bumper trim (as indicated in red in the picture of my bumper) it will be almost impossible for it to look right. A cut out can be made into the bumper but it will not include the indicated red part, which means it is going to look a bit silly. Unless someone has any super-duper suggestions that I can't think of, this means that it is going to have to be a custom rear bumper, which I don't mind.
My question is, I REALLY like the back of the Focus RS's, particularly the black part (is it a diffuser?) so my idea is there to get a custom made bumper with two identical exhaust cuts for each Janspeed twin, which ALSO incorporates the black part of the Focus RS's bumper, but colour coded in Aegean blue. The easiest way of putting this (sometimes I'm crap getting things across) is to imagine a OE standard rear bumper trim but with cut outs for two double exhausts on either side and a colour coded version of the black part of the Focus RS's bumper in the middle. Just to make it a little better than being 'plain'. I know the fog light is currently there but that is the least of my worries, firstly I just want to get through the door with the idea. I quite like this idea even if there IS a remedy for making an identical cut-out on my existing bumper.
But I'd like to know what people think of this. Would it look good, or crap? It will sure look original, and originality surely wins. Plus, a lot of people love the Focus RS which includes the back of it, so just because it's a 206 I fail to see the difference. "oh it's a 206" doesn't cut it for me. Those who just like OEM 206s need not give their opinions as obviously nothing apart from a standard one would be nice. If people are open to mods and originality however, is this something that could look cool, or is it just a wild, stupid idea?
Someone give me their opinion. Whether I'm just a loon or whether it's a pretty good idea lol

Maybe (if you must) fabricate something similar to this.
I think ebay sell 206 diffusers. Look terrible in the pictures, but may be OK if colour coded

Author: Johnbyron, Location: ScunthorpePosted: Thu Jul 11, 2013 12:38 pm ---- Iv thought about this a while back but never attempted it, if i were to do it I wouldnt have a splitter quite as big as the focus rs maybe narrower as to stop the mordern sharp lines of the slitter overwhelming the curves of the 206. But I do think it would look brilliant if done right

The bottom one looks more like the Focus but it's smaller than I'm thinking about. Yeah I would have it colour coded Aegean definitely and it would have to be a very close if not identical match to the Focus RS's black part. Maybe as John said I could tweak it so it's not as wide or not as long but certainly that identical style, in Aegean blue and with two twin exhausts at either side.

Threw the idea in the bin in the end.

Vauxhall corsa vxr diffuser
Or its easy enough to make one and to get your exhausts to fit and sit nicely.
Buy a second bumper.. flip it around and measure where the exhaust cutting goes. And cut it off the other bumper and mould it to yours... job done
