not something I have thought about so far Ska, only had the car a few months, are there any handling advantages, or do they just make it look meaner?

cheers

Or.... You could come and help with mine. I'll provide all the materials and lots of helpful advice. IE You've missed that bit. Keep going and No sugar in mine thanks.

My cars black with an iridescent metal flake that will really look great with a good Polish

No real handling benefits from the spacers brian, but they do make it look good, really fills out the arches.

Nick you're right your S would look fantastic when done. Tell you what i'll do it for you, but i'd need the car for the wk-end when would you like me to pick it up?

To add... Helps with the narrow speed humps too

Visually yes, it does make the car look good. Dare I say it, makes it look more compact too?

So what would you guys recommend as spacers for an S8? And do they fit with 18" (winter) and 20" wheels?
