Panel gaps...Front Bumper Spec.
I know the 1's are somewhat plagued w front bumper/quarter panel gap-disease.
Not a huge deal, but I love how the car had tight panels gaps and lines when I first picked it up. Ive have the bumper replaced 2x now due to accidents, and not expecting perfection, but the gaps just seem to get wider and wider.... any remedy for this? aside from more cowbell......

Check out the fender tab. It has probably gotten bent over time.

Well, unclip the bumper, get in there with a screwdriver or pliers, and bend that bastard back into position!
Better than buying a new fender and paying to repaint. For now anyway.

you're rubbing at the front on the tab? ever considered camber plates at the front? I have the B12 kit (lowers about 10-15mm more than M-sport) along with Dinan fixed camber plates up front. Tires are 225 upsized on stock 18" wheels, with a 12mm spacer. I have TONS of room up there, don't even come close to the fender tab.

Not true - I'm running close to -2.0 of camber, with Dinan fixed camber plates up front. I don't feel it's any worse in terms of tramlining or tracking the road. That has more to do with your alignment, specifically your TOE settings.

Lastly - width and offset is just as if not more important than diameter. Either way a camber plate would move the top of the tire "inwards" towards the strut, which means more clearance regardless. |

You're welcome. Very handy site to play around with tire sizes and wheel offsets can be found here:
www.willtheyfit.com Enter the stock values and what you are running/looking to run and it gives you a nice breakdown on the differences. Good luck and hope you're able to work out the issues. |
