Ok, boring first - Small service:

Changed spark plugs - NGK Iridium 7's and fuel filter



Old plugs removed, these were the cleaner ones:

Car passed M.O.T on 03/10/2014 with no advisories

__________________________________________________ ___________

Ordered some Carbon bits up:

Slam panel:




Carbign Craft Carbon Alt cover:



Carbon side pillars:





New radiator that I ordered arrived - fitted and all:



Nice little battery clamp I found online:




Picture of the Bug looking awesome:



__________________________________________________ ___________

I also had the front windows tinted - light tint.

Thats all for now though, will be putting the other carbon bits on for this weekend for a Car show / Dyno day.

Yeah yours is the Prodrive front bumper, honestly couldn't tell you were it was got. Previous owner had it fitted.

I didn't realise I never updated this.

I went on to fit the Turbo, 'TWICE' as the first garage apparently were incapable of fitting it correctly! So £500 of turbo fitting it was finally in, got her mapped up and we made 372bhp .


Also upgraded the clutch, ended up going for an Exedy pink box.


Sold the car a few months back to fund buying a house, fellow scoobynet member now owns her.

After a few months break from Subaru's I am finally back in one, just got myself a 2005 Prodrive WRX, thought it was better than nothing!
