ZOIKS! That looks proper canny.  . I'm liking the little .de colour swish. I've got one too, they are immense. What are the wheels? Not familiar with them: Borbet T's??. I'm running 9in Borbet A's all round on mine. And they are a fugging BALL ACHE. |

Never ever like Borbet T's but they suit your car no end. I really like it. German flag is genius.

I couldn't decide whether to put it there or on the lip. The wheels are made by Dezent but I haven't got a clue what model they are as I bought them second hand. They are 9in et15 all round and I don't really have any problems with them. Why are your Borbet's giving you ball ache? |

Firstly the fitting was a complete ar$e... Allegedly, they go "straight on". Except that they don't. ET15's still catch on the calipers on the fronts. Then trying to get acceptable spacers, then the fact that they seem to go off kilter at the merest hint of a lump in the road.... Is yours a genuine factory lip-spoiler (i.e a clip-on)? Mine's never had one. I'd like one, but I fear I'd lose it within seconds... I've already removed the "small" lip mine has twice backing it out of the drive...  |

My wheels went straight on with a little encouragement to the strut housing. I'm not running any spacers. A mate of mine has borbet t's and has no problems either. The IS lip is original as far as I know and it just clips on. You can still buy them from the dealer, I paid £70 for the one I put on my old touring. Got any pics of your IS? |

Pics are HEREOnly £70 from the dealers? That's good stuff. Is that painted or in black gel-coat or somesuch? Interesting that the ET15 T's go straight on. Oh and don't ever, ever try to push that wheel envelope. ET0 17x10's do not fit. Ever. OK. |

I'll find some pics of my mates car with the T's for you. |

Everything they said above.
Stunner you have created there.
The .de colours make a huge visual impact, bit like a bruiser coming into the room with a baseball bat over the shoulder..... you know he's not here to make dinner.

That's very nice, liking it in white  I think I have one of those front spoilers in my shed, not sure. There seems to be loads of variations on the front lip! It might just be a less fancy one. |

That looks great on those wheels dude.
Gotta admit that I've got a real soft spot for the tourers though.
