You'll also need jubilee clips if the charge pipe hasn't been off before as it might still have its single use OEM jobbies.

Oh sweet, good they are rectifying it, they are good guys tbh.

Do you have to send the old ones back? if not let me know the size, might be interested in them (if M14x1.5 for my Audi wheels) :D

Have you dropped that further at the rear? The rear wheel seems to be creeping further forward.

Al, it's because the Alphards are stretched, the R alloys make it look lower as they are not.

Ah bad times, shouldn't be too bad. If your not in any hurry use the bodyshop I'm using lol! Have a look at mine when it's done, see what you think.
