    Nice new clean plates make a car look much better.

    I tried multiple compomotive ones to no avail when I had the rl7's you now own until I found the correct raceline centres.

    Yeah I know how to cheers but I really dont want to! Screws and caps ftw

    I too have heard that Compomotive ones fit.

    IIRC the genuine Raceline ones used to fit from behind the rim.
    I never tried revolution items so may be worth investigating however they dont look the nicest cap in the world do they?

    Cheers Liam but the majority of them look like the genuine raceline centres. They look very similar to comp items but are a lot shallower in their depth. Check Martin kelsons thread from when he had his wheels refurbished as it shows the genuine centres. I know this as they're my old wheel/centres setup.

    It certainly does.... as soon as I buy a car genuine plates/tax disc holder and dealer stickers usually go on. Looks much cleaner/proper imo.

    Quote Originally Posted by Benn View Post

    Cheers John!

    No rear turrets here just the short bodied gaz coilover setup. As it stands theirs still a lot of adjustment available to go much lower but I wont go any further than another 10mm now as Ill be happy at that.
