Hi everyone, picked up an '08 1.8 sedan yesterday. Other than xenons and light window tints she's bog standard, hopefully some new wheels & other light cosmetics along the way...

After always having French cars, this is my first Jap machine so I'm looking forward to the change

You should be looking forward to the change!

Im absolutley loving this!! id say this is my 3rd fave model!!

You will get 18's on there no problem if you dont lower it. If you do want to lower it, roll the arches and you can go up to 50mm
