Cheers guys
In no particular order, answers to questions:
Its got 15mm hubcentric spacers on the front, back has nothing.
Im most definately sticking with the ph1 arse, although it has picked up a decent war wound on the left side, so a replacement might be down the line.
It brushes up bloody well for an 11 yr old bus, although there are marks and imperfections associated with the age and mileage.
Mechanically it has been very solid. The radiator pissed itself a few months back, and there was some bother a year ago with what turned out to be the excitier wire for the starter motor coming loose. Apart from minor niggles and it vandalising an engine mount driving down in Italy, its been very good indeed. Never uses a drop of oil (although it is changed every 3k) and it still begs for revs like a young 'un.
And yes, it is a skoda fabia splitter. (fantastic value mod)
Thanks for all the kind words once again.
