skid plates

yes and yes
you can install with the bumper on the car
if I recall about 4 holes to drill for each one
got mine from Ricambi

they have saved me many times

 

Thanks Chas! We've got 'em here, manufactured by Hill Engineering in England:

(they are available in either black polyethylene or aluminum)

 

I purchased a set from Ebay and I couldnt be happier.
They have come into play at least a handful of times in the month or so I've had them on the car...

 

Upper left is a button called search--it will help answer alot of your questions...

 

Sasso
I went with the black polymer

 

Sorry for the hi-jack everyone .... .......... but this thread is almost done anyway .... .................

Daniel does Hill Eng. have 10mm or 11mm 355 specific wheels spacers?

Now can we get back to skid plates already?

 

Yes on skid plates---Weasel says aluminum just my opinion


Hey Goth, I'm pretty sure Daniel has them as I believe I purchased 11MM.

 

Thanks !! Yes, now back to the skid plates ....... !!!

Cool!! I am thinking of running these 11mm on the front along with my existing 15mm spacers on the rears ........... what do you think ?

 

Great idea!!!! Can you take before and after photo's for me please. I am thinking of adding them to mine......

 

You may need longer lugs......not sure.

 

Definitely. 11mm is a long way to move with out longer bolts. The have a package deal with the 11mm spacers and the 10 bolts.

 

Yup ...... longer bolts would be needed ....

+1 .................. I really wish Hill Eng made 355 specific 6mm spacer and bolt kits ............. then 6mm in front and 11mm rears would probably look perfect .......

 

Just use a baseball bat to roll your guards, it'll be sweet as





On a more serious note, 5mm spacers are easy to get over here, they are the bolt through style, they are milled out of plate alloy (not the greatest design but I used them on my race car with no issues), I can send you a pair to try if you like....

 

Do they have the 'hub alignment' bung in the center? ................... then I have to locate some bolts that are 5mm ...... longer.....

 

Not sure on the hub size of a 355, I can take a rim off my car on the weekend to check the fitment, I will also check the bolt length to see if there is 5mm spare on the factory bolts. I'll let you know....

What PCD is a 355 5x108?? From memory....

 

Hahaha!!
