   depends on wat the place is like, the only place round my way wanted to charge me £29.99 for each spacer so in total it was well over £100.
   
   but i looked on ebay and got a full set of 4 for only £50 with p+p
   
   id defo use ebay just search 10mm spacers and see wat u get in the sud searches at the top of the page, if this fails then try citroen
   
   ill try looking too

    you get what you pay for, you dont want to spend £40 and end up with cheap spacers and a load of "wheel wobble", i was going to get spacers for my S rims to get them to stand out from the arches abit more but priced them up and it was going to cost about £190

    they could be the wrong offset an i think your car will be all over the placer on the road & uneven tyre wear, plus rubbing on full lock

    the grill in my sig is my old one, the grill i have on the car at the minute is from a car at the scrap yard. if you get it sprayed then the chances are it wont be the same colour as its fresh paint

    so the 10mm ones from r-tec wont fit c2 wheels? i can imagion that there would be any differance between wolfrace and the c2 wheels? apart from style.
