If you're running standard alloys then you obviously won't need wobbly bolts, you will need to measure you're current bolts and get ones that are 10mm longer.

Re: new punto owner!!!!!

Where did you get yours from??

Think im being thick, but i thought the spacers come with 2 sets of holes one for the spacer to attacher to the wheel with smaller bolts then you attach the wheel to the other holes with the standard bolts?? or am i getting confused with something else!?

Out of interest what are the measurments of the standard wheel pcd etc??

Soz for asking so many questions!!

The spacers bolt to the hub if they are adapter spacers or if they are really wide spacers. Normal spacers just go between the wheel and hub with longer wheel bolts.

Wheel PCD is 4x98, you can fit 4x100 wheels with correct spigot ring and wobbly bolt combination.

Yeah its easy just open it in paintshop pro, photshop or if you haven't got that software you can use microsoft paint. Use the little 'dropper' tool on your number plate to grab the colour and then use the manual brush tool and just cover your plate .

Yeah mines looking good at the moment, suspension has settled, debadged its arse, Just need to book it in to paintshop to get the dent removed and resprayed where some dumb blond revered into it when it was parked up!
