Hi mate, you need to machine 5mm off the mounting face of the callipers in order to run with 280mm discs and 15in wheels.
I'll dig out some threads which cover off the spacers issue - Keith185 has fitted Brembos with 2118s.
But they command good money in the second hand market, in most cases they're fit and forget, they allow you to retain cruise control and air-con, offer fair power gains and fantastic driveability through the consistency of the torque 'curve', so in the grand scheme of things they're a strong...
My 182 Trophy has a/c delete, and a flaking heater control panel.
Is there any reason why I can't fit a £20 heater control panel (8200147157), which just has the recirc button?
Or do I need to pay 3 times that to buy the control panel with the a/c button (8200147160)?

Hubcentric is not a brand I've heard of, I thought it was a word that means the spacer has a little lip on it? The opposite to that being a flat spacer.
Any spacer, even a 5mm flat spacer will increase stresses, won't they? But...
You choose to buy a used car, and if you buy privately you even get to meet the previous owner. You're prepared for the situation knowing that someone else has 'experienced' the car, and you make a judgement call to buy or not to buy.
You don't choose to have your car stolen and you probably...
Can't imagine what it must feel like, car looked lovely.
If it was mine I would want the scenario where I didn't get the car back and got the best payout possible.
It wouldn't sit well with me that it could have been driven by a rapist / paedophile, used to commit further crime, or had sex /...
Date change to accommodate Mrs Original Boy Racer's birthday (@Pete.)
This will now be happening on the weekend of Friday 11th to Sunday 13th March 2016.
Accommodation will be booked before Christmas, which just leaves the route to plan, and whether to open it up to the masses or keep it...
And if anyone's interested in a few days driving in Wales I'm planning on heading up on Friday 18th March, overnight in Llangollen, Saturday in North Wales finishing up with a night in Aberystwyth, then Sunday down to South Wales. Definitely no off-roading this time!!! Come along if you're free.
