What do you think..?

...first pic

Seems like a nice work put in there!

That said; I have strong doubts on if it will actually work. If anything it would catch the airflow and brake.. It's too low and the fins should be much longer (and longitudal, as to these vertical..) to have any effect.
I'd say this is purely for looks (in case of course it's of your taste).
It doesn't fit my taste that's for sure.

Hahaha.. Per, Fiat Coupe is not an F1 car.. Aston DBS too..

Looks good, how much lower is the bumper compared to original...?

It would look right only if the exhaust was integrated somehow...

Mariusz, have you got a pic of it on the car?

Looks good, what exhaust are you going for, central mounted or at the edges?

...about 10cm ..as the PIU one.


Unfortunately, not yet.. today we did first dbs rear bumper.. I'll be looking for a few cups to have pictures.


We can do any exhaust holes wherever you want..

can you still fit the original rear diffuser?

Would it be possible to make it less than 10cm? iv always thought it makes the back-end look too 'lowered' and chunky...

"The Coupe is not an F1".. No of course not. But what if - for example - you get a lot of extra lift at the back, running down Autobahn at 260km/h... Which is hard to garantuee not to get with this one. Similar conditions has killed a few Audi TT owners, mind you.

The Coupe was made with a lot of aero work done and I think it might be an idea to consult somebody with some knowledge in these cases, since Your general idea is to sell this item to as many people as possible. My five cents..

No, but I'll check it exactly.. I think, PIU rear looks OK.

I'm sorry.. I do not understand.. Oryginal rear diffuser ?

Per.. I understand, but big diffusors for Coupe this is absurd idea.. Aston does not need a bigger diffuser too..

Mariusz, can you make the diffuser area so it looks like a seperate item like on the Aston, I think the diffusers look good in black or carbon but I'm not so sure how it would look in body colour.




I think the carbon diffuser looks fantastic!

Agreed with Jimbo - although if it was carbon (even carbon wrapped) you'd have to carbonise some other bits of the car like side skirts, lips, mirrors, light cups.....

Hmm.... that'd look pretty nice

If it was really a separate part (bolted on) it would be easy to fix when you scraped it too.

We can paint diffuser area to black with no problem..

It would be interesting to see one once you've got it sprayed up and fitted. Look forward to seeing the finished job.

However absurd, here you go:

..for anybody wanting a proper diffusor, just cut & copy by the templates.

I personally wouldn't classify the Aston "diffusor" to more than cosmetica either.

Anyway, this is OT
Good luck and hope it ends up good looking!

Really nice.. and I'm sure you can fit your rear undertry-diffuser to my bumper too.. DBS has similar diffuser, but very small..

hmmm, I like it, can't wait to see it on a coupe for my final opinion though, Thanks Mariusz, I like the fact that you continue to look at and develop new items for the Coupe.

something like this?

or this

You can fit 1 too my car for pics

Not sure I'd go for it, but really do love the fact you continue to develop aftermarket parts. Will watch this thread as it develops!

In fact, I need a pic of it on the car.. Paul, no problem.. I can do a VERY good price for the first few bumpers.. PM me if interested..

looks good Mariusz .

Good job looks brill. Have you got a picture of the whole bumper so I could workout how it would look with my exhaust

Would prefer if the rear bumper would not just have an extra bit under it, but the sides would 'bend down', so the diffuser is like:

LOL!!!
Great technical drawing there Klaas

Small gallery - http://www.autods.net/dbs/

Looks real nice

I'd buy one and post some pics

Wondering what name to give for the new rear bumper.. Hmmm... DBS ?

Any ideas ?

CDB- Coupe Diffused Bumper

CDR- Coupe Diffused Rear

Hehe.. I know better.. FBI, CIA, WBA, KGB.. etc..

Iacio

It's Latin for Diffuse. I think it's pronounced "Aye-see-oh"

KKK?

Aye-see-oh.. nice, but a bit difficult name..

..two bumpers sold ..thanks

Agree with CDR.

Though I think Augmented Stability System would be better.

Fiat coupe, now with A.S.S.

Very nice bumper for sure ! But I'd like to see one mounted before I make my decision. Mariusz can make one for the outlet center mounted?

Looks great!

I like it..

I'll have pics on the car very soon..

chosen tail pipes: 2 x 100mm

I have received backbox'es today.. so I need a few days for painting and fitting..

Hey 50% discount and a bumper that looks that good..

Very interested indeed.

Great thinking and work Mariusz

Excellent looking bumper Mariusz

The meanest looking one I've ever seen for the Coop.

Thanks a lot mate.. I hope, on the next week I will take pics on the car..

Thanks for the bumper Mariusz! Took me about an hour - INCLUDING the paintjob! And once the exhaust on one side was fitted, the other one was done in a single minute. Reflectors were a matter of seconds.

Someones busy today
Bloody Good effort tho!

Great job Kayjey.. Thanks a lot.. only bottom line bumper-skirts is a bit too high near wheels.. AutoDBS bumper has this line like the PIU one..

More (closer) pics of that nice bumper!

I think you will find Kayjey has been very busy with photoshop

lol yes that photo isnt real... we will wait for the proper photos Pretty damn good render tho!

Damn I thought it was the real deal

Nice photoshopping Kayjey!

Haha damn photoshop. looks very good though!

Someone will have a nice bumper..

168 Speed Red + 601 Black (Matt) diffusor area..

Wow, it looks fantastic Mariusz

Let's see some pictures fitted to a coupe.

Wow that's amazing!!!

look forward to seeing it on the car, so far so good!

2nd that

That will match my speed red le perfect.... More than happy to take delivery of a free sample

Mariusz I think you should extend your discount offer until you have some pictures on the car itself. So far looking very good.

Easy, it would be too easy..

Will look beautiful.. "Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed"

Your LE need AutoDBS bumper with le titanium diffuser..

Work in progress.. This is another bumper, diffuser is not matt..

looks nice once fitted & painted...nice work.

Just a thought...is there anyway the black diffuser section could be recessed back into the bumper more....so that the 'fins' do not stick out from the bumper so much.....?

I don't like the slab-sided appearance of the side of the bumper. It just looks too after market for my tastes although I think I'm in the minority.

I can appreciate the work that has gone into it, however so well done.

Lowering rear bumper fit to the bottom line of side skirts.. oryginal is too high..

DBS "fins" are bigger.. I think, smaller "fins" are not visible on the car..

I'll have better pics with the exhaust on Saturday..

I can appreciate why you've done it, but with a little more exploration for a solution, a more OEM feel could have been achieved, while incorporating a diffuser.

Overall, the proportions of the bumper are OK but there's just too much weight on the lower corners for it to be aesthetically correct from every angle. However, that isn't taking away from the fact that you've produced what will most likely be a popular after market choice. It's more about constructive criticism.

I like it, although my preference would be for the black bit to be body coloured

I know mate, but if you have some side skirts OEM side bottom line do not fit to the rear bumper.. I do not like it..

Photoshoped pic by Kayjey..


..lowered side section

Fair enough.

gj, I know what you mean, when I did the photoshop I too thought it would line up a bit more like the original bumper. Although I guess with some work you could make it less of a 'slab'. I've added a little seam and bent the side a bit inwards / upward. I think it's possible to do this if you're a bit handy with glassfibre.

Original:


Changes based on gj88:


Hint: you can swap between these when you click the first image and then (without closing) the second one. Then press backspace / shift+backspace to swap between the images.

PS - just to say: I've always found the standard rear bumper made the car sit quite high from the ground. Most of the tuning bumpers however address this by adding more panelwork below. With the Coupe being rather narrow and high this only increases that feeling. I think Mariusz' DBS bumper is the best effort yet. By far. My main issues are indeed the fins are pointed slightly too much outwards and the side slab is too much.

Jumps back to photoshop for those fins...

Original:


Changes based on gj88:


Smaller fins:


(and you can swap between these three, first just click them all without closing, then use backspace / shift backspace)

I'd order the last one immediately although I swore never to get spoilers / bumpers / ... on my Plus.

You're getting there Kayjey. If this was to be done again (a new style open to suggestions from the community), I'd love to be there from the start and design it from the ground up through to a CAD model.

Maybe there could be a FCCUK body kit, designed by the forum/AutoDS and manufactured and sold by AutoDS?

Gary

Smaller fins:


This is a joke mate, not a diffuser..

That would be solved by separating the diffuser surface from the bumper surface. By pushing it toward the front of the car you'd get a deeper diffuser with a depth of fin, whilst also reducing the visual weight of the lower bumper.

I doubt there would be any functionality different large or small, after all as you say: it's not a real diffuser. So I'd rather go for something that is slightly toned down.

Although I'm 200% sure MOST people will like the larger one. I'm pretty sure it won't be long before we see...

I love the line of the PIU rear bumper.. DBS has the same dimensions..

I think it looks great, I'm looking forward to seeing it with the exhaust fitted!

smaller, fins get my vote....that with twin exit rear exhausts (similar to the Clip sport 197) - you cant please everyone though

clio 197 rear

see how the diffuser fins are level with the bumper and do not stick out....

Understand, but this is DBS-look.. not Clio-look diffuser..

I am happy with my Mariuz PIU creation

PIU

Actually, the Clio has a working diffusor, the DBS has a cosmetic one.

Off topic...



Nice one Per!

Love your car Per!

Noooo! Don't make me dive into Photoshop again!

No thanks.. ..this bumper is dbs-look.. not dbs copy..

I like it Mariusz
I think it would look fantastic with the diffuser in LE Titanium as you suggested(providing its fitted to an LE). It will really finish off the rear light cups

I have sent a few AutoDBS bumpers to my friends from Fiat Coupe Club France.. I hope I'll have pics with the diffuser in LE Titanium very soon..

tut you should have sent me one

let's talk about it.. I'll send you an offer..

The dbs look rear bumper looks superb Mariusz... Great work well done

Thanks a lot mate..

My Alfa 156FL with DBS-look diffuser (used 3M DI-NOC Carbon Wrap)
If some of you do not like this diffuser.. I understand.. no problem.. the taste is not discussed..

Love the diffuser on that alfa!
Not too sure if the pipe is the best match tho

I agree, a temporary solution..

...dedicated exhaust system is ready

First picture from France.. ..black matt diffusor

Very nice, matt black diffuser is the way to go.

Still something about the side of it though, as the guys said above about the slab look, maybe it just needs a slight slash or fin or something to break it up abit.
But overall, great work!

Thanks mate..

First Coupe with AutoDBS rear bumper

That looks fantastic
