IMO since you have your wheels/tyres tucked actually under then arch then I think adding SP arched might ruin the stance, which as it is looks spot on!

looks great as always mate
just a heads up on the spacers you will need to move the clip at the very top of the arches as the wheel just catches here got very slight rubbing on mine there and its pulled that clip off on one side so I moved the other one around a bit and its fine now

Thanks for the comment mate, i do see where you're coming from. I spent a long time wondering whether it would look right but i decided just to go for it!

Oh cool well that's good then! Can't wait to see some more pics.
But why the hell is mine scrubbing then? lol or is that just because its only the standard Sport suspension (GTi setup I think ?) and so not as stiff?
