Its just the £60 i dont really want to pay just for spacers:( would i then need to buy longer wheel bolts aswell?

they are cheap spacers as they are heavy, but do the job for majority of people. No, no need for longer bolts. Bolt the spacer onto the hub with the bolts that come with the spacers and then the wheel bolts onto the spacer using existing bolts iirc.

Ok cheers mate! might just need to bite the bullet and buy them as they supposedly make a huge difference to handling and looks!!

Thats what i had heard to, but my mate that does all the work on my car had a pre-facelift a few years back and he said to me they made a huge difference to the handling so all round looks worth it!!

Just when looking at the wheels and arches the now 20mm seems a lot especially when its getting lowered on coilovers?

have a look at people reader's ride who have fitted the 20mm spacers to give you an idea how it will look

Are they off the new vrs? I was looking at the older fabia vrs alloys like the kinda 5 spoke V ones if you know what i mean?
