Default MG CF diffuser or Chargespeed rear bumper?

I have the chargespeed bumper on my Z, and I got a very good deal on a MG CF rear diffuser (thanks Ferdinand ). I'm loving them both.

My current setup is:

- Amuse front with CF splitter
- Chargespeed bottom-line CF sides

So what do you guys think? Shall I keep the chargespeed? Or put on the diffuser?




thanks to (ThaShaddix)

I want you to keep the CS so I can take the diffuser. Hope my "unbaised" opinion counts.

The diffuser isn't going to be as low in the rear like the Chargespeed... what's going to make or break your set up is how the rear works with the sides. So a side profile pic is required in this case. I'll vote to keep the Chargespeed rear.

I'm voting that you keep your current set up.
I forget to mention that I'm considering putting back my stock rear bumper

Problem is if I keep the chargespeed bumper, there will be difference in the level between the sides and rear bumper just like the one in the picture below

LOL I reread your post and figured you'd go back to an OEM rear... I did a Ninja edit but you caught me before I could change it.Read the reason for my editing.

The difference isn't that drastic. I would personally measure it before you go through all the work. The only advantage of putting the TS is you'd have carbon all the way around the rear. My diffuser for as gargantuan as it is... is still higher than my Chargespeed underwings.

I love how they both look, but the diffuser has advantage of the functionality

Here's where i got my inspiration from

Not really... Varis CF sides are similarly styled and are more expensive. Look at this way... you won't have to pay more to get them fit to your car b/c they're a quality part.

go with the MG diffuser. I've had it on my Z for 2 years and sold it a while ago. love it but sold it cuz it I wanted to go with a single exhaust. fitment was great. the only issue was clearance. even though I was on s-tech springs. I have been to adudabi before and the roads over there does really require that much clearance except for the stupid speed humps. so it's up to you either stay clearance safe or go with the looks.
