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!

That's a good amount. I'll look up some spacers once I've got my car and measured the tyre to arch gap
A real naive comment but do spacers effect warranty.
I don't know to be honest, but they're easy enough to remove before taking it into the dealer just in case.
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 still think you both have a chance of overtaking me!

I’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 would say that is quite feasible if it is on a boat...

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

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!

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 :
