As in what you might expect to see on a Mk1 Escort from the 70s?

well i originally want AccuAir ride suspension as i didnt opt for the magnetic ride suspension option but that will void the warranty so thats a no go.

So just to fill out the arches i was considering the MTM spacers.

As you have the Black Edition you already have the widest wheel/tyre combo officially available. I'd imagine that adding spacers would make the tyres sit slightly proud of the arches and risk fouling the bodywork under hard cornering. I think the A6 looks really smart with the Rotor wheels without spacers - are you unhappy with it?

Cheers!

So I was right?! You bought the wrong car my friend if you want to be doing things like that. I'm just saying it, everyone else is thinking it.
