As Ive already said it HAS been done with the X because the UK FQ360 spec comes with Vortex Generator. I will post pics in about 6-8weeks when I get the bloody car

The rear diffuser under the car is to help the airflow under the body. As far as I knew the Vortex Generator is to create terbulent air to go through the rear wing to increase downforce. Therfore making the two parts are completely unrelated

^You are correct.

Once the aftermarket catches up, someone will be making these VG's for the X. As for right now, there are none.
