Very nice  :wink: you win in the pictures race!  :grin:

Edi35's right about the small deflector type things. 235's stick out from the arch slightly, which legally isn't allowed...this is how they get around it

That is very very nice, with the best colour and wheel combination, you must be delighted  :cool: when you talk about the spray guards do you mean the little black plastic wheel arch extensions? If so my wife had these on her Eos and I asked the dealer what they were there for and I was told as it had 235 tyres (same width as the R) these are a legal requirement as the tyres stick out of the arches a little. Hence why you don't get them in a GTI. Also they did nothing for spray as this is not what they are for.

Good luck with the new motor  :smiley:

Tbh I did read about those arch extentions being for legal reasons because of the tyre width; I was just going along with Ginge's remark in my previous reply  :smiley:

Very very nice I like that , watch that garage its a tight fit :grin:

Enjoy the Dunlops  :tongue:

 :grin:It's not quite as tight as it looks in the pics Steve, but I do need to be a bit careful. Also with it being 3 door it's more difficult for me to get in and out in the garage.
