Im a bit ocd but if fitting shirt plate in needs to be bang center imo so all gaps are equal. Or you need to plate blank so you arent half filling the recess. Looks shiney tho and splitter looks good

59mm each side from the edge of the plate to the inside edge of the recess. My Mrs' number plate would drive you insane, the actual lettering isn't level in relation to the frame.....

Being put down to work on a day you booked off 3weeks in advance then no one around to talk to about it

Tom has installed a snazzy new head unit today! Very happy with the upgrade from the old RNS-E unit.

looking very nice chap, those oz's make such a massive change in the look of your car, they really suit it now, looked good before but the previous rims didn't really do the car any favours but now it looks spot on....I see they have a few minor curbing's , will you be getting them redone to be 100% aswell.
Reminds me of Dimi's saloon before he broke it up, that looked very good to with the oz alloys on.

And them fitted
S4 door blades also make a big difference to the overall look aswell, they tend to give the car a much more aggressive appearance and stance....very nice..one day i'll get mine fitted aswell, so much to do though.

These look really nice mate - very good choice

hard to be 100% as the angle of pic can be misleading.....Sean's does look a bit out of alignment from the pic, but without seeing front on its hard to say for sure and if so what is the cause, i'd like to see a front on really before making an on the spot conclusion.

Yep they will be getting re-done so they are 100% perfect but I couldn't wait to put them on, you know how it goes. My brakes are dwarfed now behind them so it looks like I'll be needing bigger brakes sooner than I thought.
The car is a good bit lower now with the lower tyre profile and the front does now catch a good bit more which is a pain but has to be done..
I think the colour is spot on as well, was tempted by black but much prefer this colour!

I had noticed that with the alignment of the bonnet but wasn't sure if it is off because it mates perfectly at the top of the lights and the wing. Is it out of shape do you's think?
I bet those oz's are an ET42 or 45 sean, if not very close , if you are still running with the 10 & 20 mm spacers fitted that's where you problem will most likely be, you'll need to be doing some adjustments there very possibly, but if your going big cals then you may want to sort them out first as your spacing may well change again to clear the calipers.
Not sure @sean. It is the same with mine as well. It mates perfectly at the top of the light and the wing but there is a small gap between both the sides if you look at it from the front. My other B7 had the same problem now that I look at the pictures.
And ever since @Rob mentioned it, it is bugging me
. I will have to have it looked but wanted to make sure it is just mine before I do that. It might just be the bumper slightly out - not sure tbh.

just had a look at some other angles and it does look to be protruding more on the nearside than on the offside, height doesn't look to bad but you may need to adjust the offside a bit to bring the grill out a shade and possibly move the nearside in a tad, either way its pretty straight forward to just even out the protusion of the grill by loosening the central bolt on the top of the grill and the single bolts eitherside by the headlamps , that way you can fine tune the forward and rewards movement of the grill/bumper. just make sure the grill and bumper are level first.

that's way out of level chap, the bumper needs to come up on the offside if your happy with the gap on the nearside, what you need to remember is that the grill is fixed to the bumper , so to get the gap even you need to adjust the bumper height via the two height adjusters that the bumper slides into, the bumper itself can also be fine tuned by adjusting the protrusion , by adjusting both you end up with a factory finish nice and even etc.
there are a fair few guides on the webby to show how to do it, just choose which works best for you.
You are a star @Just Rob. That is Sunday sorted wife permitting . If not, definitely next weekend.

a word of caution chap, the adjusters that the bumper sits on/in are a bit mickey mouse and are prone to seizing and being generally a bit of a pain, don't be surprised if you cant move them at all, sometimes if they are problematic the only real solution is to remove the bumper and free them up or get two new ones and refit the bumper and adjust as required, just a heads up really.
these are the offending adjusters, same part for R & L , sometimes they are just stuck sometimes already broken from previous tampering etc and if your really lucky they will wind up and down without problem...

Yep, spot on Rob they are ET45 and I have kept my spacers front & back. Plenty of clearance on the front for the current brake setup.
I will need to adjust the height a little bit though, people currently hate driving behind me
Cheers mate. Will order the new ones just in case. Car is in week after for Cambelt and waterpump replacement and possibly brakes. Will ask my Indy if he could do it all.

this how close my 19" Et35 rims are to the 18z'S , 2mm at the very most clearance, something to keep in mind sean if you go bigger cals , getting the right spacing with specific offsets is crutial to avoid major headaches .
