H&R spacers and wheel arch extensions
« on: 04 November 2012, 12:18 »
Can I firstly apologise for the poor quality pictures, for some reason my iPad didn't capture the before picture which has p!ssed me right  :angry: off but here goes, please bear in mind these were taken before the car had settled back down, so when I get chance I'll get some more pics if anyone is interested.

Spacer are H&R trac+ 10mm and the wheel arch extensions are the rear R ones:-







As usual all comments appreciated.

Spacers look lie they have kicked the wheels out perfectly, as you say just needs to be a touch lower :cool:

Thanks, we'll have to see about the lowering as I'm always a bit worried about changing bits that I can't whip off quickly if I ever need to. I'm pleased with how they now sit level with the arch which is the look I was after. Was a bit worried when I first saw them as it looked too much but now it's settled a bit it's growing on me.

Hi mate, Local Dealer mate. Here is another link with part numbers etc. they were really easy to fit made easier having the wheel off for the spacer but I reckon it would be easy enough even with the wheel on. On the rear there is a torque screw holding the arch lining in which is used for the extensions. Where the bumper meets the the body. The extensions have sticky tape on them too and click into place so you can't go wrong in terms of where they should sit.

Cost me just under £20.
