Went down again today to drop off some parts and have a look at the car sitting on its new wide wheels.. Think it looks mental wide. Wee are only 5days in and still have a very long way to go yet. I'll keep you all updated with progress, pretty sure they are stripping the car next week and taking all the glass out., fitting some new rear discs and pads, and returning the calipers.
Thanks again for all the interest
Ok,we have some more progress pics
I've been asked by a lot of people about the inner arches and if they are sealed correctly to stop rusting and getting road salt and grime between them.
The arches have been primed, sealed and bonded together to stop any crap getting between the new and old, then a the final top coat goes over this, they are then lined with new arch liners to completely close them off
They fitted the new wheels on and road tested the car to make sure the ride height was correct and there was no rubbing on the new arches.
This is how she sits now

A little update regarding suspension guys.
I ordered a set of KW V3 Coilovers on the 6th Jan to ensure the car was sitting correctly on the new wheels and to make sure we had no clearance issues, I was told by the supplier that it would be around 2-3 weeks for delivery so expected these by the end of Feb, but with no further updates from KW, I contacted the supplier and was told that the order had been delayed till the end of Feb until they would be able to make the kits, so delivery would be begging of March. Unhappy by this we decided to test drive the car with the new wheels on Stock suspension.
To my delight the car sits perfectly with no clearance issues, and the ride seems to feel better than it did with the stock wheels, this may be due to having I higher side wall on the tyre, back in contact with the supplier, they have agreed that as the order has not yet been made I've opted to get a refund and stick with My OEM suspension.
This pic shows how the car actually sits, and TBH I didn't want the car any lower than this anyway
