I've bought two sets now and keep getting f***ed about.

Paid for the first pair 29th Oct, the second on 22nd Nov. I still have nothing to show for it.

They are taking long to come. Mind you they look so good that I wouldn't mind waiting!!! Cars looking slick mate. Like the lil tussel you and D.K had after Brands!

I've spoken to the carbon mirror man and he says that the German post office say they should be here by now (for the record when I said I had bought two sets they weren't both from the same bloke). They've promised that if I don't have them by Monday they'll send me another pair or give me my money back (which of course I don't want). I can't wait it's been driving me mad.
I should get my new stock taillight by Monday too, then I can get dremeling. For those of you who don't know what I'm on about, see this thread here. [B)]

As we determined earlier i've copied/ended up with the same alloys as you.....

tried a one on the car with the spacer before I go and get tyres on them and they seem to stick out a fair bit.... don't no if it's just paranoia!?!?!?!?!? :cry: or they look wied being on the jack without tyres on.

What width are your wheels? or the 7.5 or 8 inches?

Thanks.... :think:

Yeah mate, they are quite sticky outy :thumbup:

They are 8's

So I'm guessing you've gone for the same spacers as me which is 15's up front and 20's in back?
The rear ones stick out just enough to rub on the arches when there are passengers in the rear, but only with 2 large people. Mine is lowered on Eibach springs.
But they are road legal, sailed the MOT no problem. So long as the tread is inside the arches they will pass. I was thinking I might go for 215s tyre wise to stop the rubbing, but I like the idea of more tyre being on the road and I'm not a fan of stretch, so I'll probably leave them.
I'm guessing if you've test fitted them with no tyres they probably look very sticky outy, so I wouldn't worry they should get better with tyres on.

I hope those mirrors are gona fit better than the ones for the 210 model, some guy on here had them and they were pant's. They look amaizing in the pic though:-o

The German post office has been dicking the supplier something chronic. He's given me my money back now and they may still arrive!

He says he can supply more, but I want to see them before I buy bulk!

I've just got 15mm spacers all way round.... i've not tried a one on the back with a spacer but they seemed to fit without catching the suspension or caliper without any spacers so 15 should be ok..

this is why i paniced!!!!
