Welcome! Car looks good! Cant wait to see more
P.s, none of you pussies should complain about driveways until you've witnessed mine. Thats 1000% the reason why mine isnt dropped on its ass, it basically rips off my exhaust now |

The end of my driveway gradually rises up (before the curb) and gets to a point where its just a little higher than an average speed bump, then drops down to street level. Now my car is friggin high off the ground, yet it still manages to scrape; not heaps but enough. I'm still lowering my car though, it'll just be parked on the road for now...

Some driveways are ridiculously high, the house that I rented before, I scraped my front bar every time I go in just a little bit faster than normal (stock height) because the street was pretty busy during peak hour and I didn't want to slow down traffic behind me so I can slowly get in the driveway

I liked our old driveway better, was flat as a pankake all the way through... Then the council decided to make a footpath, ripped up the end of the old driveway and now we have this one. Stupid council!
And thanks for the info Ben! I'm keeping an eye out for similar rims, but no luck so far

Not for all springs IIRC. Some springs are wagon/sedan only but I may be mistaken!
Well not only but using one vs the other makes the car look different.

Im pretty sure that theyre fibreglass, and if it is you could probably (easily) modify it to fit with a bit of spare time and the motivation
Also was the grille for a 1.6/1.8 or an SP20?
