Who knows what the rain and wind at high speed is like to an object attached to the car
Thankfully nobody was behind me. Turned around to pick up the pieces
It did say "NOT FOR HIGHWAY USE" but I thought 'why the fuck sell it to me you bastards?!" so I stuck it on anyway
Major disater avoided on the motorway tomorrow morning, could've been a much worse outcome. Stupid me really tbh

It looked ace in my rear view! All of a sudden there was a HUGE BANG and my diffuser was spinning like 50ft in the air flying around
When I drove back I thought i'd got away with it because it looked in one piece, but the edge had broken off
