Fitting wheel spacers / Interior upgrades

[C4S at Last!]

Took delivery of my C4S PDK last weekend - fantastic. Got the Carrera Sport wheels that show very nicely with the arctic silver paint. I have the 5mm wheel spacers on order and plan to fit them next weekend. As I understand, there are two countersunk screws in the wheel hub that I use to secure the spacers and then use the longer bolts that come with the spacers.

Can anyone confirm this is the correct way to fit them? Any details I'm missing?

I'd also like to order the rear center console in arctic silver. Perhaps the dash trim too. I assume these can simply be retrofitted - anyone know to the contrary?

Many thanks as I try to stay contained during the break-in - roll on 1,000 miles!!

Congradulations on the new C4S, I have just under 500 miles on mine and I have a grin from ear to ear !!!

Have fun.

the screws are there to hold it in place while you do the bolts

some people ignore this step

the bolts hold it on without the screw just fine

painted parts are available at www.bumperplugs.com

installation details should be there too, or just ask eric (plug guy)

no affiliation, just a happy customer!

Question out of ignorance. Are you adding the spacers (to your current wheels) for asthetic reasons or are you changing wheels?

Thanks for the helpful responses. As for the spacers, I'm adding them for aesthetic reasons having already persuaded the dealer to swap out the standard alloys on the car for the carrera sports - both are nice, just love the painted finish of the sport wheels on a silver car.

I'm picking up a Meteor Grey C4S on wednesday and have swapped out the OEM wheels for Turbo Style. I too am having the dealer install the 5mm spacers all around for asthetics mostly...don't know if any handling benefit comes with them. That slight addl track width is noticeable...fills out the wheel wells nicely!
