I asked the wheel people and they measured them and said they were long enough. Various forums I've looked on have also suggested the stock ones are perfectly fine with 5mm, its above 10mm you run into issues.
TBH, I want red alloy nuts anyway, So if I do need them, Im not too worried ;)
I will put Eibacks on it eventually, but they came up for £40 posted so I went for it.
Although I spoke to alot of guys on the forum and they said theres a fine.
I honestly recomend spacer to everyone, transforms how the stock wheels look IMO!
Potentially tracking it on Wednesday too....
Had...
Right my cars been @ Laptab most of the day. Managed to get an amazing deal on my refurb (I went for standard colour, whilst I appreciate people suggest refurbing in a different colour ot its not worth it, I think a set of spanking looking OEM wheels can look cool too!)
I also got the tyres...
It performs incredibly, but it will never be as sport as a petrol version (Ie the M5) is the point.
I think fast diesels are fun, but id rather go the other way, ie disguising its a diesel, or badging up as a diesel.
Theres an 03 RS6 Avant round here badged up as TDI :)
As I was saying a few pages back, Im going to need some new rubber at some point on the front. Im off to Laptab at 8am in the morning to get my wheels refurbished in Hyper Silver. Now this may be a little stupid of me, I know it probabaly doesnt matter, but it really used to bug me. Basically...
Whilst its clear I do not have a degree in economics, why do companies do this?
Why do they have 2 sets of shops, both owned by the same company in competition?
Theres a PC World with a Currys next door by me, why do they think this is a good idea, when they are both owned by the same company...
Seriously, I love the 197, sometimes wish I had bought one over my EP3, but I Cant fathom what on earth went wrong with the 200. I saw a crashed one (minor front ender) in the car park the other day and it actually looked better, that blade thing at the front looks like someones put it on...
Within reason
Obviously, 20k is better than 50k
But in this case im not so sure.
How would the tyres be having been sat in the same position for so long?
Hmm, Maybe if I wasnt into cars I wouldnt see a difference, the 4 doors is a biggy to me though.
Old Cars > New cars
Almost every car there is looked better before they bought out a new one
EG > EK > EP > FN Civic
Mk 1 > Mk 2 > Mk 3 > Mk4 > MK5 Golf
Only one I think got it right was the Mk...
They slide on the sub frame, but to let someone in the back, you have to press the side lever to tilt the seat and then slide the seat forward on the subframe.
In the Clio I believe you can tilt/slide with 1 press of the lever?
I had my rear wheels off today to tidy up the calipers, and Ive taken a pic of the stock studs.
I want to run spacers all round, but not sure how much, so Ive ordered some none hub centric 10mm ones just to see what it looks like for now.
There is over 15mm of un touched stud, which is where...
