Welcome - I am from the UK and I have also ordered KW V1 coilovers!
I have 18x8 ET45 Speedline wheels and I am trying to work out if spacers will be needed once the coilovers go on!
What offset are your TD wheels?

I think I will need some to clear the new KW struts.
Clearance with the stock ride height is quite tight!
These Pictures show inner clearance of 18x8 ET45 with 205/40 Michelin Pilot Super Sports fitted. (no spacers and stock sport suspension)

really nice...
I have a question about the wheels:
They are 8x18 et45, right?
Do you have any rubber on the fender or something else?
Yes 18x8 ET45
I have no rubbing on the fenders. They fit fine.

The Gtechniq comes with a 5yr warranty which suggests the protection will last the 5 years!
I plan to have it "topped up" every 18 - 24 months to ensure the finish stays perfect!

Wow, that looks awesome!!
Is this DIY or a professional work?
Thanks
Yes, this was done by a professional (cost: £400) and took 2 days!
The car had a single stage machine polish, fully clay barred to remove contaminants, full IPA wipe down and then a coat of C1 followed by 2 coats of EXO. The trims and windows were treated using the relevant Gtechniq products as well as the interior and wheels.

KW Variant 1 Coilovers are been ordered on Friday (when I get back from my time at the MINI factory)
I have FINALLY got KW UK to understand that they are available to order! (they have actually been available since late last week, but it seems KW Germany forgot to tell KW UK.... which is a long and frustrating story!)
The lead time is 4-6 weeks as they are not currently stock piled yet, so it will be another month or so until I get them on the car!

Got the car back yesterday then it rained!!
The Gtechniq finish is amazing, after a 2 hour drive in torrential rain it still looked fantastic! The beading is awesome & the way it repels water is equally impressive.

I will be ordering mine at the end of the week!
KW are quoting a 4-6 week lead time on the coilovers at present.
