I just ordered new ones, so no cutting or bending involved.
They are metal protective plates, not to be confused with exhaust heat shields.
Protective Plate - left 171-423-01-20
Protective Plate - right 171-423-02-20

Steve and anybody else that has upgraded to the 030 brakes. How much did it affect your wheel offset when you put these on? I'm just curious because I'm anticipating that it will change when I do this.

How is it a noob question? I can't assume the rotor hub is the same thickness if the rotors are larger.
I feel safer asking about the hub thickness of the 030 rotor setup, than assuming it's the same as the OEM rotors (front and especially rear) and being assed out in the end and having to get new rear rims to make it work perfect.
A noob question would've been, "do the 030 brakes work on our car?" or "I want to update my brakes, what options do I have?" I felt like my question was more specific with regard to the 030 rotors and how it would affect my offset, if at all.
If this ish doesn't work and it does change the offset enough in the rear, I'm blaming YOUR asses for my "noob" question!

Is @ Home
The C32 and the C55 uses the same brakes front and rear.
