Dave B hooked me up with them. I have no issues with clearing the brakes although I had to alter the connection pipe to clear the wheel. I had these wheels ET38 with 25 mm spacers on when the arches was built and extended 40mm. Since the TT hub carriers, TT hubs with RS3 bearings and TT wishbones have been put on I've gained 50 mm leaving 25mm of poke.
I can lose 10mm with losing the RS3 bearing and maybe I can pull the top back a bit with adjustable top mounts.
Just waiting for the rear setup so I can tackle it all with maybe just the front wheels to change ET
Dave has certainly sorted me out with some very special parts though and this is what happens when modifying a car to this level. As said if it was easy everyone would be doing it :wink:

Love the front splitter was that done at the same place that did your bumpers?

Its a DIY job. We wanted to do the bumpers ourselves but lacked the space. I now have a fair sized unit which allows me more freedom to mess about in. It should be nice and different once finished with its purpose to protect the bumper a bit and hold the no. plate.
Thankyou..... I think I have mild OCD!
