| I measured from the driveway to the side skirt before and after and its only 35mm lower, but the 18" wheels fill the arches a lot better. | |

| Looking great Carl, I especially like the wheels.
Just picked up an STi exhaust myself and going to fit it (Hopefully) next week. Then it's the ZunSport front grills, mudflaps and wheel refurb.
Keep up the good work!

Scrap that last comment, them yanks know nothing! I have just got my grill off in 5 minutes without removing the bumper. If you remove all the plastic clips on the top side you can (just) pull it back to get your arm and a short Phillips screw driver in to remove the 3 lower screws. Job done
