Got VWR spring fitted and 20mm (rear) 15mm (front) spacers

Very happy with the outcome ( although I'm used to much lower cars)  comfort seems to not be effected at all and cornering is so much better - plus the wheel gap has been reduced which is the main thing !!

Nice pictures  :cool:
Quite big spacers you've opted for but they certainly look the part.

Thanks, believe it or not it was almost pitch black when I took them. Finished washing the car really late but wanted some pics so went out at 10pm  :nerd:

I went off what ECS were selling in their "flush kit" but TBH I think I may drop down to a 12mm up front as 15mm seems a bit much.

Although, I'm planning on going 19s with 235 tyres so it will be back to square one with fitment again when that happens !

I run 16mm rear and 13mm front.
I look at lots of wheels and always come to same conclusion, 19'' Austins would be perfect for me if they made them :smiley:

Looks awesome. It's a colour that shouldn't work but really really does.

Fed and watered it.  Filled the tank with V Power, air in tyres, topped up screen wash, checked oil and coolant.
