Hello I run 17" with ContiSport 8j front 9J rear on team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2 ona 2.0i MSport so it has a bit of lowered suspension suffcient to catch on some of our roads at speed around the Borders..

235/40 and 255/40 ZR 17
Very nice handling compared to 19" 326 with bridgestaone run flats
With msport non adjustable suspension light and day
Changed several variables at one go so hard to say which changes made the most difference
Net result is a pothole tolerant nice ride with acceptable handling and no nasty slides under power with 280 bhp (did have with cheap chinese rubber on symetrical 17" with 185BHP)

Hi yes I did fit the lip spoiler, it was a chinese one of ebay prepainted..very dubious but i was feeling stupid so pressed the but button whilist the wife wasn't looking.

Arrived 10 days later well boxed.

Paint match is not perfect but I don't like the black ones.

If the rest of the car had the same weight fibreglass then it would never fly over humpbacks, but its only a small piece.

Will get it repainted perfectly over the winter.

This seems a later version of the same type..
