yeah i think it was Ratty that mentioned about allowing extra space in the cut out for expansion - ive never really looked at mine - will try and take a few photos tomorrow so at least you will have a like for like comparison.
Good job fitting it yourself tho - that cant have been easy ;)

and newkids right check your front mount - if it knackered then you will want to replace it before you do anymore cutting into the subframe - on recommend from vtecmec i filled all my mounts with sikaflex - cant go wrong for £8 a tube imo :)
