It's great the spoiler fits and the plates are sweet!

Are those 1 piece things smaller than the 2 piece ones? Looks like it doesn't hang down as far?

 

yeah mate im sure they are a bit i will check tomorrow and let you know for sure....

[bullitA9X]

Daz Measured the new one piece front spoiler it measured front 120mm sides 160mm my original 2 piece a9x front spoiler measured front 130mm side 185mm so your spot on mate the one piece is smaller..

Was that one of the new Rare Spares front spoilers? last comment in the Rare Spares thread someone had trouble fitting it, said one side was shorter than the other but no comments after that to say what happened.

When I read that I thought it can't be right, surely Rare Spares would have done some trial fits before they sold these spoilers.

[bullitA9X]

Looks fantastic, I like a hatch without flairs sitting on wide rubber. Quick question, I am in the process of getting wheels and diff made for my car, like yours without flairs on 9in rims. What is the fit of the 255's like? I am planning on using 255's on my car but I keep wondering could I squeeze a 265 in there?

cheers mate we have a standard length torana diff in there the rear wheels have a 5 1/2 inch back space the tyres sit close to the rear shocker so i think a 265 would scrub you would have to do some mods.....

 

had a good day today after all these years struggling with my back and working on the ground i finally have my hoist working....now just to clean the shed lol....

Project is coming along nicely guys. I like the rims too.

Random question - what wall height is your shed and roof pitch? The hoist obviously fits quite nicely.

Put the stripe's on they look sweet & without it just looks like another white hatch.
