Urg, look at that screw/bolt, it sticks out doesnt it

Ruins your bueatiful arch, and catchs on your tyres every now and again :rolleyes:

Lets take it off with a 10mm spanner or raquet (sp)

And when you have a bump and need to take whatever that bolt was holding off... you have to drill it out.... hmm..... Surely a smooth, flat bolt/screw thingy would have been better!?!

Can't say i have! Guess i'll go hide in my hole of no-knowledge pilgrim. :unsure:

A better solution would be if Matt fitted wheels of the correct size, but then he wouldn't be as special as he is! :lol::thumbsup:

Let's hope he doesn't have a bump and have to take it off, eh?

Looks neat though. Always thought that bolt looked tatty. Nice job. :thumbsup:

Seriously kerbed those wheels though matey. :rolleyes:

Only issue with this is that the bolt has a bit that goes through a peice of plastic that holds the bumper on ... and if it gets knocked it likely to either split the plastic or tear the wing and or wing/liner.

But I can see that this might help the rubbing problem.
