Is there any difference in the wing sizes between a pre & facelift? Or are they the same?
Mines a pre facelift with facelift bumpers on it

Great thread
Currently thinking hard on the best options for my Hippo: as mine has the dealer-fit body kit and frankly the standard 16" triple sport with no-brand standard size tyres look decidedly... err.... how to put this politely... undernourished.

Given that all the period advertising pictures with this ghastly kit fitted used 17" triple sports, that's what I am looking for now - plus play be a set of chunkier tyres. Not sure how a non-standard tyre size will play with the insurance company though?
If I want to fill out the arches a bit more and bring the tyre outer edge a little more in line with the extended arches, will 17"s with a wider tyre do the trick, or will I need a set of the dreaded spacers?
I suspect that they wouldn't insure wheels that aren't hub-centric. Far to risky imho. I'd not fit them to any vehicle of mine.Probably good enough for insurance assessors too
Which is another good case for going 17" over the non-hub-centric Modulars...
