Where the arch meets the bumper :(

New rear valance;

Before;






After;

No texture, silky smooth gloss black...







Excuse iPad pics.  Scheduled fitting Saturday 23rd May...  


Still getting used to the Linear pedal.  But having some niggles with the tyre catching the arch liner & arch where it meets the bumper.  
Really pissing me off, I dont want the car any higher than it is now but am struggling for that bit of extra clearance needed.  Ground control top mounts are on the cards but only want to splash out on these awesome chassis shiny bits unless the end result is mint handling with no scraping & scrubbing


Top mounts in question

Reckon they'd help Matt? Im not sure if I should go back to Cupra arms and the ground control top mounts

If the wheels are rubbing slightly I'd refit the Cupra Arms and fit the ground control top mounts.  I bet you wont feel a lot of difference if any in handling between the TT arms and the Cupra Arms.  Apart from a knackered drop link (changing them all Wednesday for new ones) I for one am keeping my suspension OE dampers (may fit Konis or Eibach dampers once worn out but think I will go OE again) with Eibach springs plus OE ARBs, as I find it handles sweet on the roads. Sometimes less is more

Mike. That's a bit much, taking your nice new shiny valence it to bed with you :-)

Looks spot on

Now that might take some explaining

Go away for 6 weeks soon so probably a good time to drop the car at AKS for some pretty special top mounts 

Think being firmer they may help prevent the scrubbing especially with a tad more camber 

If it's still not 100% then Ill go back to Cupra lower arms...
