I am feeling somewhat left out. All you lads on these trackdays left, right and centre, I have some serious catching up to do in 4 weeks time!

Thats a good photo for me anyway as I had Black Grills and something similar to those indicators on mine for a bit there, but the jury was out on them TBH. At least now I can get a good comparison, both cars looking good!

Eric, (S77, I'm guessing) what size spacers do you have on the front there? Or is it just the way the light is catching your front wheel?

I've been thinking about the carbon kidney vents and side grills after seeing Glendogs and Shake&Bakes i think they could be the way to go.

I will wait to see them in the flesh first though..

[sailorbaz]

I managed to get a CF Bonnet vent (up by the washer Jets) a couple of years ago off Ebay for sweeties (£70'ish) but have't seen one for a long time since. Think CA Automotive do them, but I'm not 100% sure and I don't want to go and check as I might come out skint. And I've not even left this seat!

I'd like to think that you are in-keeping with the CSL weight saving ethos Andy! :hahaha: :hahaha:

[1cosmicboy]

especially the short ones

[Shake&Bake]

Sailorbaz - I have 12mm's all round I didn't notice much of a difference untill I saw a few without over the last 2 weeks. I must say that I like them however if you use it as a daily (which obviously you don't) I could see it creating a hell of a lot more stone chips as they are proud of the arches behind the tyre.

Rags - Yes

[Andyk]

I will say when the cars were side by side Erics did look much better withh the spacers.

[Bealo]

I've got 10mm all round on mine and i didn't really feel much difference on the road but the car does look much more aggressive :thumbs:

Question....by moving the wheels out do you get trye scrub on the arches wheel giving it some on track?

Also whats the best make to go for.

Andy

I haven't had any wheel arch rubbing with the 10mm spacers.

I bought mine from Thorney, not sure what make they are :thumbs:

[sailorbaz]

Eibachs are the ones to go for, pretty reasonable on price and they need to be hubcentric ones. My mates got a set of 8mm ones which I'm going to stick on my fronts when I get home. Along with 'Standard' 19" M3 wheels and gubbed cups!

[shimmy]

12mm all round and no rubbing on track or road:thumbs:

[glendog74]

Noob question:

Can you easily remove the spacers when removing a wheel, or do they tend to 'heat weld' themselves to the hub therefore being a bugger to get off? :smt017

I would consider getting them for track but wouldn't want them on all the time for the stress issues over high road mileages.

[Andyk]

Thorneys recommends doing the front only to improve handling and the back for looks.

mine have heat welded to the track rims so they stay on now and my road rims dotn have spacers

they do come off with some tender love and care though ;)

thorney recommends lots of things!

Daz also recommends fronts only......

[Mark CSL]

I run 15mm front and 10mm rear on track no rubbing and i had 245x35 on the front still they dont rub

And 265x35 rear and still no rubbing :thumbs:

[bryce]

No rubbing for me either, 10mm eibachs and KWs set real low. Going 10mm on rears too. They do get stuck a bit but a chap with summit soft shifts them.

[1cosmicboy]

car looks groovy in this pic bryce ,spot on mate ,
