It does indeed look stunning, top work. Although next time, give it a clean first eh?

Looks fantastic mate. How is the ride with the H&R's? What spacer are you using?

Thanks Silas, I was unsure about the plate at first but love it now, post some pics when yours is done. :thumbs:

Smudge, just for you i'll give it a wash next time... :wink:

jjdsyd, thanks for the comment.

This setup is the same as Silas 15-20mm springs with 10mm spacers all round. The ride is somewhere in between comfort and dynamic, it corners flatter and and can be pushed harder than the normal comfort setting.

Overall i'd recommend it, but when a DDC coilover kit is launched by KW i'll most likely go for that.

Did you do it yourself? Be interested to know if the car feels any different and see some more pics!

Took me an hour and a half but I did give the wheels a good clean too. The spacers slot onto the wheels and then you mount the wheel back on the car. Easy! The only problem I had was the TPMS pinged after a few miles as I'd swapped front wheels to back to get even wear all round. Checked my pressure and all wheels were at 32psi.....I haven't checked since buying the car. Pumped up to recommended pressures and car feels more taut, probably pressure rather than spacers....but. I can also now straddle the local speed humps :). Springs next.

Perfectly fills the arches in my opinion.

Looks good, I agree they fill the arches but watch out for kerbs, not so sure if 5mm might be a better compromise for me as my Mrs has form when parking. Did the caps come as part of the deal with H & R?

I actually find the wheels are easier to see in the mirrors with the 10mm spacers fitted.
