it should be back from the bodyshop in the next day or so, i can't wait!



convinced i've choosen the right colour now after seeing it on the car.

 

Deep blue mica?

Looks gooood

 

nope but it does look similar under dull light. its actually a blue/purple pearlescent.

 

a bit like the series mcrae colour.

 

Don't think that picture does the colour justice.

Post a few more once you get out in the sunshine.

 

What wheels are they? looks

 

i was hoping to pick it up today but it wasn't quite ready
i went and saw it though and the colour looks amazing, can't wait to get it polished up and out in the sunshine!

the wheels are 18" arospeed rs-gt's, only had them on the car for a couple of days before i dropped it off at the bodyshop.

this what it looked like before it went in

 

So its a full colour change then? Nice.

Is it a pukka job...engine bay/boot/floor etc?

 

yeah its a full respray, i'm good friends with the guy who owns the bodyshop so i got a good deal.

i was really disappointed not to get it back today but after seeing the quality of the work i know it's worth waiting a couple more days to get it finished properly.

 

is it tuesday yet?!

 

What spoiler is going on? The original?

 

Any chance of a close uppic of the front wheel?

 

And it does look much better in blue

 

yeah i putting the v4 spoiler back on. i couldn't decide which spoiler to go for so i'll keep that until i make my mind up.

 

the only other pic i've got with the new wheels on is this one:



(you should be able to see the dents that needed repairing in the front wing and rear 3/4 panel)

i'll post some close-up pics when i've fitted these behind them:

 

you new colour im sure will look mint in the sunlight. Great choice in wheel i must say



I had to have a set from the first time i saw them. Not the biggest set of 18's, but definately the best.

 

very nice pountyman, but i suppose i would say that!

 

I'm thinking about getting the same wheel in 19" for my Sti 8, i'm just a bit worried about the caliper clearance

 

i did wondered about the clearance of my brembos when i saw it yesterday. hopefully they should be ok, i'll let you know when i've fitted them (or not!). fingers crossed ay!

 

btw - the late shape rear bumper i've got doesn't have the same bracket for mounting the number plate lights. does anyone know how they mount on, is there another bracket i need to get?

cheers.

yeah they're hyper black, i think they look really good against dark paintwork.

edited to say they are 7.5 x 18" with 215/35ZR18 Falken 451's.
