Exclamation

Just fitted them this evening after having them sitting in my hallway for the last week.
Please observe the expertly laid block paving, laid by my own fair hands over the easter weekend

Car's filthy dirty at the moment, will post up some better pics after it's had a clean






Looks kinda weird with the tyres being a 35 profile, you can hardly see any rubber

Looking Good John.

can you come round and widen my driveway with the pavers the Conservatory boys took up from my patio?

You are obviously a dab hand at it

lol, the driveway was a pain in the butt , filled 2 6 yard and an 8 yard skip with the crap we dug out.

As to side skirts...no way

It's an RA, it's not sposed to have go faster skirts on
The car is bog standard apart from the wheels, I think as it's a special edition model I want to keep it as un-molested as possible

nice one mega!

lol at the side skirts!, I suggested that when you first got the car. Think you're right not to do it though.

(off to find the thread where you said you were never gonna modify it

edited to say; come on clear indicators at least!

Eibachs wouldn't lower my car though would they?
I thought STi5's had lower springs than UK cars anyway...

Ok Pete, let me know, I'm 95% sure it'll make bu99er all difference though as they Eibach's lower the car approx 20-25mm and mines already that much lower than a stock UK MY99 (I know cause I measured it )

That picture is the front driveway, I block paved the side one
