Hey all.

To be honest i think you have a good eye, dont think i would have recognised anything lol....you should have slapped the guy in the balls and ran away, im pretty sure he would have got rid of the spacers then  :evil: anddd....he should give the car a clean :)

That could have worked.... :evil:

No i did something much more antagonizing. I gave Ashleys Investment Cars a call and spoke to the salesman that sold the car to the guy. I explained the spacers situation. He was surprised. So i kindly asked him to give the owner a call and tell him to send his car in NOW!
I also told him to tell the owner to give it a clean  :grin:
It turns out the guy did actually have a GTI before getting the R32 and guess what? HE blew the poor things engine!!!  :sick:

where are the spacers exactly?

I will get you a pic. Its easier than trying to explain.

Saw them on vwvortex.



I think the worst time to have a heart attack is during a game of charades. Especially if your teammates are bad guessers.

Yup. Somebody on VWVortex said there is sometimes two on each wheel. So look carefully.
Oh yes. Please dont try pull them out. Jack the car up first... I am just imagining you pulling them out and the car lowers and your arm gets stuck under the arch :sick:

Like I said. The pictures honestly dont justify that gap. Like the people on Vortex would say...

SLAM THAT 32!!!
