A german mag did some testing and it increases drag and down force on the VX, there is a post about it by SpeedyK from years ago but I CBA trying to search for it.

you have more down-force with the roof off (does this explain my shopping list getting sucked out the car).
diffusers decrease the rear lift at speed.
a spoiler with the correct angle will add down-force to the rear by creating a vacuum behind it and the air hitting the top, it is best effective higher then the roof and with large end plates.
side skirts will help prevent the air from the side of the car getting sucked under, to stop it lifting the rear.
Canards deflect the air flow to help do the same as the above, while also adding down-force to the front.
louvres stop the front wheels creating pressure in the arch and lifting the front of the car.
if you cut holes in the front clam where the fogs are, could you vent this air through the louvres too? thus reducing drag and increasing down-force?
please treat me kindly i'm learning (no jokes about my spelling please)

I write "sharp angle change without radius"
What I ment was it is a sharp angle changes without radius now and wouldnt it be
better to put a radius in the begging of the diffuser (where the diffuser meets the floor) to avoid the air releasing from the floor.

I had a pair of those. Didn't fit the profile of the VX so flogged 'em on eBay.Although these are now being discontinued and are expensive, there is a little bit of information to help with decisions.
