  1. I've just fitted my MK7 R Estate with a Westfalia bar, I took my time to measure and carefully cut the smallest hole I could get away with in the diffuser. The electrical socket bracket, I manipulated a bit to get it super close to the bar. I had to open out the hole a bit more once it with fitted to the car with the dremmel. I've fitted it for the bike rack, I doubt I'll tow anything. I've ordered some PPF film to go on the bumper just around the area where the ball is in case of any handling errors! If anyone needs an P/N's or pictures please don't hesitate to drop me a dm.
  2. I have fitted 17" OZ Ultralegerra with Goodyear Eagle F1 A5, I can confirm a huge improvement in ride with a combination of more sidewall and reduced unsprung weight to the tune of around 6kg per corner. My Cadiz rims had the standard and terrible XL rated Bridgestone tyres on. The XL rating is part of the issue here, they may as well be run flats! In addition to the improved ride (with no apparent loss of performance), turn in feels slightly keener. My next step is fitting TTS 4 piston Calipers to take some more unsprung weight away.
  3. I did, just waiting for them to arrive, I'll be sure to post a picture when they do. I used a configurator online though.....
  4. Hi all, some super cool looking R's on here! I'm just about to pull the trigger on some Oz Ultraleggera, 8x17 ET35, I'm going to run a 225 45 17 Goodyear F1, will that offset work?
