Title: R32 Brakes fitted
Post by: vRS Carl on June 02, 2010, 10:21:03 pm

Well was a bit unsure wether they would fit under 17" Zenith alloys (7.0J x 17") but got some 10mm spacers for the front and today JKM managed to shoehorn my wheels over the R32 kit.

Here's a few pics I took with the phone will take some proper ones tomorrow

So they will fit under 7.0J x 17" alloys (with 10mm spacers)

Big thanks to JKM for having the patience and putting the car back in the work shop to change the brake fluid for me as the stuff that was in there had been in for 18months so thought may as well get it done.

Looking good! Do you have any idea where I could source a pair of the brake clip covers?
