REAR DIFFUSERS

A woman in Poland on a Crossfire Facebook page posted a pic of her Crossfire with rear Diffusers that she made at a company she works with in Poland
They are made using ABS material.
She did it by thermoforming. They have the equipment because they do similar projects.
Many of us have gotten these within 1 week from Poland to various states is the US
If you use Facebook message Anna Malik to get more info if ya want set of these.


If you dont use Facebook you can send an email to the seller at: ana1330@interia.pl
Her name is Ana Malik and your email can let her know you saw these posted on the Crossfire Forum
I don't believe she is a member here yet though

They look great but I think they need a drain hole as water may slowly get in and in the winter freeze.
I believe the OEM ones had the hole. ABS is the best plastic for this kind of accessory. Fibre glass is too brittle.

Completed install of Kmac bushings on the front lower control arm of my Limited today. First try was the right side; took me two days about 14 hours. Did the left today in 5 hours.

Thanks, You are probably correct although I never have mine outside getting wet in the winter.
I'm gonna drill a small whole in each fin
I contacted the seller and she is aware hers have no holes but she leaves it for the buyer to decide if they wish to have them or not

So are you guys talking about locating a drain hole in the bottom of the fins? I see where the Seller locates dimples for the mounting holes in the diffusers. Couldn't see any harm or impact if she did the same on the bottom of the fins.

I always reduced the size of my images to slightly larger than the size of my computer screen before uploading them. Have you given that a try?

Anna (Seller replied to me) Yes, we know about the drain holes on the OEM , but we leave this choice to buyers
I replied "Might be a suggestion you add on a piece of paper with each shipment"

Bought new (to me) valve cover$.
Cleaned, sanded, filled, primed and painted/cleared.
Installed with new gaskets, hoses and hardware(from NeedsWings).
Torqued inside out pattern from 7 to 8ft/lbs.
No leakage and looks hawt!




Enjoy your weekend and your XF!

Thanks to Rob at NeedsWings for hardware

Shine and sparkle of fresh valve covers is outstanding
Cheers!

Nice looking valve covers. You did an excellent job getting them ready for install.

Why hide them beneath the plastic engine cover after taking so much time making them look nice?

Using the stock air box is a mighty good reason.
