boostaholic, unfortunately that doesn't solve the problem as the fenders are already rolled (and also bent outwards a bit for even better clearance) ... fortunately I have another plan ready

Luis, thanks (again, heheh) for compliments. The front caster block upgrade is definately on top of my "must get done now" list.

951Badger, I have a set of adapters to fit late offset wheels. The rears are coming off soon for some modifications, I can measure the widths for you while I'm at it. The car is lowered, in front with weltmeister #250 springs, in rear who knows how (either the eccentric bolt or torsion bar re-indexing, I don't have coil-overs (yet)). The wheels are by Mak, some Italian company - I believe they sell them as TSWs in the US. Cost? Quite a bit less than €2000, including wheels, tires and locking nuts ... I'm still debating over if it was a good idea to get this stuff or not ...

Sami, give us some details on the vented nose panel. Did the body shop just cut it out. Did they have to repaint. What did they cut it with.

Rich, you already had said you had a line on them from Europe. What are details, I really like that rear bumper also.

Here's a close-up of the nose panel. I'll ask the PO if he knows the details on how it was done.

I'm surprised, the huge wheels look better than I thought they would. Your car must be lowered just enough to make them looked wicked. Nice job.

Do your fenders smack down on the rear tires when you punch it?
