I do have now also sourced a set of 280x22 mm AP racing discs, and with custom bells for the discs and custom adapters for the calipers I should be able to get away with a 0.8mm spacer between the discs & wheels.

I have no problem doing some work, as i just like to have a very nice solution

*edit* Ow, and one other thing that let me to 280mm discs is, i wanted to run nice shiny red porsche calipers, and i didn't want to upgrade the B2 front struts to the (different mounting for calipers) B3 front struts.
Got the A4 288mm to fit behind the 15" wheel using the A4 carriers and calipers and yes converted to the early Series 3 struts that are identical apart from the carrier mount locations. With new pads had to take 0.5mm off the back of the spokes to stop catching but minor issue and avoids spacers.
