Fitted some wheel spacers having pestered several forum members for opinions (thanks all) and finally opted for 20mm on the rear and just 12mm on the front - think that should avoid any rubbing I hope.

Gave the hubs a quick (but not great) paint too.

Then managed to have a quick blast this morning after an early bike run in some brillaint sunshine though v.cold wind. Home to catch 2nd half of F1 live then feeling smug as the rain came on.

Here's some pics from cold grey Scotland:

Wheel spacers look perfect to me. Cars looking really good. Personally not overseen on the red bits in the badges though.
 
Nice look now , especially with the Vred rubber :wink:
, were they hubcentric & if not any wobble at speed ?
 
Just fitted 5mm spacers to my e89 but that was purely to make my £10 a corner 16" winter rims fit over my calipers. Yes, I really am that tight fisted :P
Anyway, small is old school, an that's shizzle now, right :rofl:
 
Looking good jaxZ4. :thumbsup:
Beautiful day here but a tad windy, The Gritters have been out on the A1 would you believe :headbang:
 
Nice pics mate. :thumbsup:

I would say spacers were spot on..liking them Ellipsoids as well..

F1 was as predictable as ever...
 
Perfect Jack, looking even more ace 8) :thumbsup:

Thinking I might swap my 15mm spacers for 12s up front... Though in fairness it's probably too late and I'd be better just sticking with the gaffer tape :lol:
 
Just got my car yesterday, about to order the same size spacers for it.
Your car looks great, I'd love to see some pics with the hood up.
 
Lovely car, nice mods and nicely dropped too. Not a criticism but just noticed you have some minor dents; pic 2 on rear arch and one on the front wing. I had some similar marks and for just over £100 treated both sides to some paintless dent removal. Well worth it if you keep you car shiny as this is when they show up!
 
Thanks for the comments guys - update:

No wobbles at speed - though not been on motorway or dual carriageway though had a proper blast yesterday
No rubbing yet either - not sure how I'll spot that other than new sounds and some damage
Thanks for the pointer re minor bodywork dings - the rear has been on the car since I bought it 3 years ago - the one front of the o/s indicator roundel is indeed a mysterious newcomer spotted just yesterday - I will get them seen to if there's a good chance they will be less noticeable
The metallic burgundy coloured roundels (which match the roof) do just peel off so no problem to revert to OEM.
Will post another pic or two of the "original forum red (burgundy) roof" soon

:wink: :thumbsup:
