I think ABW's would be better. Looks good in the pictures but I bet the finish wouldn't look as honest as bolt on rather than smoothed. Spacers is the only thing that puts me off really.

Just get some different offset wheels instead. No real problem with the correct type of hubcentric spacers. Got a set waiting to go onto mine. Just need to roll the arches first.

Sell the D and all the spare wheels you have for it and go for a 500bhp stripped out wagon

project L is awesome, just not sure about the waist spoiler instead of the roof spoiler...being different at the cost of the overall look I reckon

Would these be the spacers from CDF Racing that we spoke about at HWH meet in January?

I bought Tiny's off him in the end rather than going for the ones that you can get from CDF. These keep the same pcd but yup same in principle as the cdf ones.
