naa its 100% the rad pipe, Idno about any plastic cover there wasnt one when I bought the car, understandable that its been lost sometime in the last 10years.
+ thanks for the advice lads but pushing it back wont really do me much good because if you look at the inside of the arch above the pipe you can see were the tyers been scraping the arch so that needs sorting aswell. Are spacers the only option other than swapping wheels ?
