Quote from: kalimon on 19 May 2016, 16:03My Sparco wheel spacers arrived from Italy today, hopefully I'll fit them tomorrow if it's a dry day.Very impressed with the build quality, beautifully machined, and they look gorgeous as well!They come supplied with all fixings so shouldn't be too hard to fit.I'll take some photos of them and post them up for anyone who is remotely interested They look like a properly engineered kit, kalimon. Got a link to your supplier? What are you going to use for locking bolts?[/quoteI'll probably not bother with locking nuts for the time being. Exonian put me onto these and I'd recommend them highly. I'll post link when I get home unless Exonian gets there first.

How wrong I was I dropped the car off was asked for service book for paint code all good I thought but upon picking the car back up all they did was line the bottom of the ding the hole was still there I could see and feel the shoulders of the ding..Explanation it's the best we can do apart from having the whole roof resprayed...Note to self and all you out there don't use chipsaway unless you've ad work done before.I'm going to tackle mine hopefully this weekend if the weather holds up..I won't use my local Chipsaway, after the assessed some repairs I needed to rear bumper of my mk6 GTI. A couple crinkles in the plastic and some scuffs on lip of bumper. Said it was a respray job (fair enough) but couldn't guatantee getting the crinkles out so probably just respray over them!!!I took it to a local bodyshop who sorted crinkles out and resprayed. Perfect job and and £50 cheaper than Chipsaway! ImWell done Booth very good price too but yeah believe me il never use chipsaway again totally useless....

Quote from: kalimon on 19 May 2016, 16:03 They look far too good to be mounted on a car. They are a piece of beauty Spacers are definitely on my list of to do's. Although I was put off slightly by this educational video.https://youtu.be/hWijfooeSyU?list=PLE067A7397E1AF108Can anyone counter this by saying they will be absolutely fine, in order to talk me into them
