bolting diffuser on would be easy with the attachment points underneath. just would need to keep it stiff and stable at higher speeds so it doesnt flop around
There would be some center-to-center distance between reinforcements where the sheet material would act like a diaphragm. You'd have to figure that out, and respect that spacing, otherwise aeroelastic deformation could be induced at the speeds you're going to operate at. You don't live in Australia.
