Can't we keep it updated here for others who don't use Facebook/don't follow kam. I'm not sure I'm after following yet another page, to get bombarded with a million pages of tosh I'm not interested in, just for one piece of info!
 
Their reply yesterday....

First mould had a slight twist as the Renault original part is rather flimsy. Making a 2nd mould with the part attached to a Twingo Rear Bumper to keep the shape better.
 
Same issue as before then.

Rather than a car, wouldn't it be easier to mould by making a quick bracket, and attaching the diffuser to that? Then it could be moulded on a work surface or out the way?

Alright
 
For anyone after updates, lets keep it to one place here.
 
Without a car to directly compare against, development of parts is always going to give issues.

The Renault diffuser it very flexible and, as was found originally by Carbonfanatics and now Kam, its almost impossible to make a mould from it, whilst maintaining the correct shape. Glass reinforced or carbon reinforced plastics will need the mould to be the correct shape as the parts from it won't be half as flexible, so it needs to be right or theres no point in bothering as the finished item just wont fit.

Its not as if making a largeish mould and preparing it for use is a cheap or quick process either :? Especially when it needs to be re-done :(

Before anyone starts with no news, blah blah,,,, , As said in the bushes thread, it doesn't take much to pick up the phone and ask how things are going if theres no recent updates on the forum/facebook etc.
