Scott, i cant do that with mine because im running the shorter pipe setup, so the pipes simply aint longer enough to route them that low.
Ive now managed to get it to clear on both sides, with literally 2mil clearance on each side.... A lot of f**king about with the tracking, fitting 3mil spacers, and bending the cooler pipes closer to the bottom pully.
Everything clears, but the cooler pipes are a mil or two off the pully lol
Hopefully they wont catch.
At least the wheels seem to clear now.....
So i should be good for mot.
The tracking is now way out.....Towing out by miles, but that don't matter for mot, hoping i can get it booked in somewhere before the weekend.....
Pics on the way....

Adam, what if you got a bit of flat alloy then put to P clips round each pipe and attached them to the inner arch lip? would stop them going back into the pully, keep them level with inner lip so as not to touch the wheel either??

Looks nice Adam. new plates are an improvement IMO.
-
Red striping looks good, not too sure on the mudflaps though.
-
Like the red strip, not a fan on the flaps..*snigger*
Is that a std sandwitch plate? Doesnt look like what i've seen before..
-
Really looking cool that front end. Got a soft spot for that colour now.

Scott, good plan mate, will look into it.
TBH im not a big fan of the mudflaps, they are "floppy" and dont sit well. Will probably end up binning them tbh.
Benn, the sandwich plate is a Astra GTE one, and uses flared pipe ends...
Most are thinner and use banjo type washer bolts.
The banjo type pipes sit closer to the pully at the sandwich plate end, so i think thats why most people have more clearance than me, as most xe's have that type of plate/cooler setup.... :)
Cheers John/Simps/Craig :)

Need tax tomorrow too..
