I think @GTI-MATT is owed a beer :drinking:

Non-hub centric spacers are dangerous! Get yourself some used H&R spacers. There's plenty that come up for sale, but if you don't need then for arch clearance, get them off while you source some decent spacers.

Unfortunately they're not on for arch clearance... It's strut clearance :( the inside of the tyre wears away against it so I put the 5mm spacers on to solve that issue. I'm going to buy spacers today or tomorrow :) Hopefully get them fitted at the weekend!

My boyfriend is adamant that it's not the spacers... I can't wait for it to be exactly that because I love when he's so sure about something but I'm correct :innocent:
Not sure on cumvag yet.. Again that's down to the boyfriend! I don't know anybody else that's going down well enough to camp with them so it's entirely his call. I have a very good friend that lives down that way too so I'd love to go for that reason alone :ashamed:
Also update on yesterday.
Picked up R32 calipers, discs and pads for £250.. Discs have no lip on them and pads are pretty meaty. They look a bit sad but they'd been sat outside so that'll be why. Yay for brakes!
Got home, picked my car up (had driven to collect them in adams) and drove for about 1/4 of a mile and my passenger front wheel just randomly fell off... I had asked my friend to tighten that side up for me and he obviously never did. Lesson learned, always check :P Minimal damage to the hub, but the wheel goes on fine and the threads are good too! The wing popped out but it's back in place now and there's literally no visible damage.. I am a lucky, lucky girl!!
