Styling Panda 100HP on Alfa teledial wheels

Yes, I originally come from Portsmouth and still have family over there. They have been most helpful with larger items.

I don't see why a pack of wheel bolts would be so much hassle though when my wheels are arriving to my door with no problems from Poland tomorrow!

Well done. Bullox to them.

This is my rear hub with new brake caliper. It shows the new disc retaining studs to suit my centre caps. I used M8 bolts and threaded them down but I since found some 40mm long grub screws that would be far easier.

The studs are retained into the hub with Loctite because the back side is not flat so cant be locked with a nut. The disc is retained with thin nuts (1/2 height). The threads extend by 20mm and work fine with dome nuts. Any longer would pop the tops out of the nuts.

You can also see my HEL braided stainless brake line with banjo bolt

PS The zinc metal-spray coating has a rough finish and I wanted it to look like I'd bothered to do a half decent job. it was etch primed then red oxide primed and finally painted. The primers seem to have stuck nicely, but the top paint is already peeling off.

Maybe that zinc metal spray was not overkill after all.

My 100HP sits on some 7x16 Stilo wheels; they need 10mm spacers in the rear (from offset 41 til 31) to not scrub on the inside and anywhere between 5-10mm up front to look good.

My other Panda (69HP/2011) has 7x17 Mito wheels with 5mm spacers in the rear (only showing them off because you mentioned Alfa wheels and I'm a fan of most of their wheel designs, tbh)

Something tells me you lot have worse roads than we Danes, though.

Steelies do look good to, I'll admit.

I quite like the Mito wheels on there, good job

Thanks, man! I'm an alfaholic, just can't justify the running costs The 100HP sure drives like one, though!
