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.  Very Happy

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 Lucky!

Sick of the  lower chrome lip on the front grill so today i experimented with some thick carbon film i ordered, i left the silver trim on the top of the grill but once refitted i think it needs to come off and get carbon wrapped as well.

Without a grill looks like an MG!  Very Happy

Well i have been driving the car a bit harder since the 1000 mile oil change and no engine light blinking due to the decat? i was starting to get worried  Laughing 
Then today a bit of b road bashing on the way back from Derek Slack subaru, i shifted from 3rd to 4th heard a pop out the exhaust and my dash lit up lol, i have never been happy to see the engine management light come on  Very Happy 
Car sounds lovely now big thanks to Andy Kindon for the work carried out!
