You can actually order them from you local OPC as they are on the GT3 parts catalogue

P996.512.821.90 for 4 Degree

P996.512.823.90 for 8 Degree

£10 per set + VAT, although on closer inspection I may have got away with it as either side has different part numbers

so that could actually be £10 each !

as per (after a weekend with the spray can)

Tip: there's an 'L' and 'R' at the end of each part number to indicate which side they go on... the pictures show the underside of the shims.

thankfully have done the 4 Degree ones but then ran out of paint
 
Oi SD,

IIRC you took the piss when I was the first to get these fitted to my silver three!

My 4 degree shims will be going on soon as I get them sprayed :D

You'll need an appropriately sized Torx wrench (T40 IIRC)... careful dexterity to not drop the screws, and probably some replacement cover caps after you've broken the covers that go over the screws...and yes, they only go in one way (L is for the Left strut, R is for Right strut :wink:)... need to make sure the spoiler is screwed down tight...
