Re: 20” final editions + spacers
Spacers arrived the other day. Now I just need to find time to get it on the ramp. Still got the oil and filter to do and the replacement aux belt to fit.

Drove on the motorway this morning. Gear changes are silky smooth, it’s totally transformed how the car feels. Link to a YouTube short below
