Re: Ordered one
Probably just the tracker not refreshing Graham, can’t see that they’ve not both gone considering they arrived at the same time to port!

I'll look up some spacers once I've got my car and measured the tyre to arch gap
The only thing I could possibly think they could level against having spacers fitted is an increase in stress on the suspension components due to extra leverage, but it'd be a push for them to really justify it.
I had a quick measure of the amount of spacing you'd need to make the wheels sit out comparably the b8, and I think you'd only need 5-6mm of spacer
Is that with the 275 tyres which, at the same wheel offset, already sit 5mm further out that the 19s? So you would be suggesting 10-11mm in total?

I would say that is quite feasible if it is on a boat...graeme4130 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 31, 2018 5:36 pmI’m kinda hoping to have mine by the weekend of the 14th/15th, but I’m thinking my chances are quite slim as thatsteo weeks away

I'm working at Silverstone on that weekend, and would quite like my new car for it, so lets hope it turns up

Re: Ordered one
I hope they use a different tracking service to the one that showed you where your free meerkat was.
That thing went right round the houses!

Yeah, I'm lost with that one too
Perhaps I'm just not down with the 'Yoof' anymore

Re: Ordered one
I think my car's got lost between the factory and the docks as it's been on this status for about a week now :
On a totally separate note, does anyone want to buy my spare race bike as I've just put it up for sale :
