spacers
also what tire size were you running? Was there any rubbing at all with either set
of wheels?

the current setup only rubs on the tire letters 😁

The build looks amazing, I'd love to hear more about it. My big glaring question is, what suspension are you running to fit the wheels so well? I have a set of 18x8 +35 work XD9s I was thinking of fitting to my "new" 2012 MCS and you are the first to build something very very similar and it looks better than I could dream.
Also, I see the car didn't start its life with the JCW front lip, did you replace the entire front bumper or just fit the splitter?

You’re right. I didn’t see the strut towers at first. Looks like BC Coils at Max camber in front.

When I wrapped the car I switched over to the jcw bumper !
What I did first was trim a decent amount away from the top of the center console, then ran a universal shift boot over and trimmed it up to fit. I’ll see if I have a closeup o can post for you!

Using an old droid for the cluster and then mounting it into the speedo, is a great idea. I thought about trying something like that, but i was just going to mount the phone on the dash...your idea is much better.
I am assuming you are using blue tooth to the code reader plug-in, What blue tooth scanner are you using?

thank you! Pretty much everything has been ordered through you!
I’m using obdlink mx, as from the reviews it’s rhe fastest reading one. Just drains the battery when connected at all times. So I had an extender and connected the port to a 12v ignition instead of the 12v constant that is provided from the obd port
