I'd not seen the colour in real life before, so took a bit of a gamble on it. Really pleased with how he looks though!

I've had the springs and spacers for quite a while waiting to go on - just needed the car lol. Might as well do it when the car is new and the bolts all come undone easily and the dampers aren't so easily upset by a different ride height.

H&R springs and 15mm spacers on the front and 20mm spacers on the back.

To fail an MOT there would need to be read sticking out past the arches - it's all contained under the arches.

If turns out to be that much of an issue just remove the spacers for the MOT if you still have the car by then

They look pretty snug. You have 3 years to enjoy them before the first mot anyway lol. Bit like decat or sports cat you just have to go to the right mot station

Those spacers are absolutely fine, as long as the tread is contained within the arches then it is legal. Looks really awesome, I absolutely adore that colour :)

It's 100% contained within the arches.

First time I've seen the colour on a dull day today with lots of rain and fog - and it still looks stupidly bright! :D

I think the 17s have a different offset to the 18s. I know someone with 17s and 20mm spacers on the back though. I don't think he has anything on the front. I would have thought that 12mm ones would be fine though.

Don't think @RivieraS1 is on here too much nowadays. It really does look great in this colour and lowered a bit.
