Deffs change wheels and I wish the rules were like that here, we can only have the lowest part of the car at 100 so that's the front bar

Haha, wheels will definitely be replaced within the next 6 months or so.
Here the law is the lowest "structural" part of the car must be 100mm or or higher.
My friends WRX is around 60mm at the lowest structural point, and has never had an issue passing WOF tests, so there's a bit of lenience there.
This is the design that I'm looking at getting, or something similar:

Yea, I'm hoping so.
Not sure what tyre fitment to go with, but that's an issue for when I get them.

Fitted the new rear strut brace and took the car for a drive around the twisties, man it drives so differently!
The car handles so much better, it's like a new car! I have to relearn the limits of the cornering!

Yeah, no issues.
Had to buy excess luggage, but that wasn't too expensive, and a lot cheaper than shipping

Thanks, I'm really happy with how it's turning out.
The only issue is that's taking quite a bit of money and time to do, but it shall be worth it!
Just went to Repco and picked up another half a square meter of fibreglass matting, 500ml more resin, and a new power steering belt for a total of another $80....
Oh well it'll be worth it

Slowly getting there on the rear bar, the fitment around the passenger's light is looking great, a mate's doing most of the work though
