yeah this is strictly an oem project, no big spoilers or skirts, only mods will be a remap and decat.

anyone can clean, its just being methidical and boring haha

alot of the stuff i use is trade stuff but im sure youll find it on ebay

household steam cleaner
snap-on wet vac (can buy a henry wet vac for around £100 i think)
normal henry vac
atomizers
micro fibre cloths

chemicals

autosmart g101 (needs mixing with water very strong, will burn skin)
autosmart pazza
autoglym interior shampoo but autosmart brisk would be my choice had i had some
autoglym super sheen
autoglym glass polish, but the autosmart stuff is just as good, great on exhaust too
gtechniq sealent for glass

think thats it

Lol your terrible haha.

First dibs on your spoiler if you change it haha

Today I've taken the pf pads out. And fitted some mintex 1144 better for day to day driving,

Tomorrow I'm ordering a down pipe. Then it's a case of a remap.

I'm debating a splitter for the front,

Defo get a splitter. They finish off an incomplete front end in my opinion.

Ive already commented on Edition but thought I'd join in here too haha

i was debating buying the sti winglets and then a spillter, but that would take it away from what it is,

in the end ive gone for a ht autos front wrx splitter, £100 so not bad and can be removed,

further on ive ordered the downpipe decat, and will be getting a walbro fuel pump, and an air filter too then its off for a remap

defi's still not arrived yet though

Here's my list of things to do,

sort the body, pdr guy is coming Thursday so ill have a better idea of what's needed, but tbh I'll prob end up doing the full car as I'm super fussy.

wheel refurb, one wheel has lacquer flake, the others have a few marks

find the vibration induced rattle behind the centre console

door speaker replacement

Fit downpipe, fuel pump and remap

Fit defi gauges and pod

I really wouldn't bother with a splitter, I think it looks great as it is.
