im guessing it goes on over the little lip as the mounts are angled and not totaly flat
the bit where screws are is flat then after is like a wedge shape angle cut out

Car looks spot on, like the ride height, wheels look quality and that zender kit really suits the car - but I would try and get some grey vynal doorcards, rather than ones with cloth inserts, these would match up with the leather really nicely.

Im near Tunbridge Wells, so Guildford is a bit of a trek, I usually go to Ace cafe when im at uni, as its not far at. I'll keep an eye out for those doorcards, think I saw a set the other day.

Looking good dude, finnishs the car off nicely.
Would the firm who did your wheels be able to do them in different colours?
