StevoD Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Can't you just get black pads? would be easier just to mask of the bonnet and just run a black marker along the edge of the pads. oh so you will be moving it to the bonnet now and what 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Seeing as the hard work is done already, surely you can just unbolt the wing and then take the individual legs off to replace the pads, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djtimo Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Thanks for the pics. That's a decent size gap tbf. I'm sure this can be sorted mind you. Keyser what was stopping you mounting this further back (when the small lip spoiler is removed?) grundy said that was as far back as it would go?

Keyser what was stopping you mounting this further back (when the small lip spoiler is removed?) grundy said that was as far back as it would go? I think you could get it back a little bit further but the boot starts to level out at the back so you may have an issue with it lifting the foot away from the body in the middle. It needs futher looking into - In my defense we had one evening to do a full service and fit a BGW. We also did not have time to sort out the holes that would be left if the OEMspoiler was removed so the decision was made to try it with - If the OEM is removed later then the wing can be moved and the extra couple of holes can all be sorted at the same time Or put it another way He really really really wanted a BGW before all you lot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
