Fitted my spacers....

[themanthatcan]

Managed to find time to fit the spacers I bought from Scott_Johnson the other day and thought I'd post up some pics. They're 15mm at the back and 10mm at the front. In my opinion the wheels now sit in the position they should have come in from the factory. What's the point of having flared arches if your wheels don't fill them!!

[Aky]

looks miles better with spacers. Fills wheel arches better

 

[scott_johnson]

looking good matey!!! :thumbsup: I never understood what was the point of big arches and sunken wheels! Oh and i like the blue osram side repeaters!!!

 

[Essflee]

They look good.... was thinking about these too !
When you say 15mm at the back, is that 15mm each wheel or 15mm overall, (7.5mm each side)...... ?
Does the car feel much different to drive ?
:thumbsup:

 

[scott_johnson]

15mm a side!!! so 30mm track widen!

 

[Essflee]

Cheers Scott !!
Think they look spot on !!!!

Thanks for the compliments Leggy - Not really noticed that the car drives any differently but I'm driving quite sedately at the moment cos I'm skint!

Here's another pic from a slightly better angle.

Just realised from that photo that my sidelight bulbs need replacing with something slightly whiter. What do people recommend?

Yes, looks much nicer with the spacers.

you just need a pair of mudflaps now as they sit further out of the arches and will defo mucky the bodywork up quicker lol

if you want LED side lights use Piaa plenty of different bulbs on ebay. If you buy cheap ones expect them to blow.
