dont have any links, bought them as a used set off of here. They are o.z cronos, old stylee

 

Thanks for the pic discrete i like

Is that an sti scoop one is sporting looks a tad bigger


pita to keep clean but imo one of the best colours black/silver and i like the dark green too,rach loves the light blue sti the most,gold rims too............could be two scoobys on the drive at some point

 

Its not matey,thats woody,rach did the pics for the family for memories


I look like a thug (no i did not know my dog collar was out)


Dont have many of me as i am the one usually taking pics

 

Yeh discreet is the way I like it, wheels could do with a refurb at some point, would go a dark titanium if I do. Black is a pita to keep clean though. There are about three different shades of black, depending on year. This one is graphite black paint code 18L. It is pearlescent and has a gold flick to it that really pops in bright sunlight.

No, that's a standard WRX scoop, slightly bigger than a bug eye one.

Seriously considering changing my volvo for a forester xt at some point so could well have two scoobs as well

Edit: she's sat a bit high in that pick coz I had just dropped it off the trolley jack

 

I need to find out my colour code to touch up a little........not got a clue tbh what black,guess another call to subaru with chassis No is on the cards!!!
Every time i look at it i notice something else i would hate to have a brand new black car

Yes dark Ti sounds a good colour option,i do not want an alloy colour,ideally not black but an in-between,maybe a graphite.......or as you say.....

I did have my 18" rims re-done on my 200sx s14a but for the life i cant remember the colour name other than to say it was a darker alloy.....

i have always liked subarus full stop,i like the engineering,the flat 4 or flat 6,the twin turbo legacy are a beast..........just well engineered imho......
A good manufacturer............

 

Paint code will be on the alloy vin plate under the bonnet. I'd hazard a guess that yours is blue black mica paint code 08v, but dont take my word for it

 

thanks for that,i had a google and presumed the same( as appears only 2 blacks on the 2002 wrx)could be wrong of course ,will check tomorrow and sort a touch up pen out(little stone chips etc)

Nothing has been re-sprayed,its exactly what you see on the tin(or wrx )

Just way i like it tbh,oe condition............even with marks

Cheers again for help/advice

 

Right had a look and 08v but no other info as in mica etc just the 08v.

I will order some blue/black 08v,if its wrong..........its wrong


Cheers ven

 

Ordered now,so will know mid week/back end of if matches,no big deal tbh,iirc there are only 2 choices anyway and this appears as you say the right one

 

Only other black paint code for that year is 18L. Mica is just the jap way of saying metallic I believe, should be right.

 

then as it is metallic

Thanks again

 

Clear repeaters came today,still 50/50 about smoked but for what they cost or do it myself its issue free. Clear are an improvement either way from orange imo.

Popped out


Unplug,swap to orange bulbs,clear lens fitted and popped back


Lot better imo




Just front reflectors next,these are in the mail and will be another week or so i guess,just carbon fibre covers. If these dont look right i will just smoke the ones on

 

Quicker than expected............ *come from far east quicker then UK either way my reflector covers came . Admittedly not what i presumed from description as in covers!! they would look ridiculous stuck on the reflector as it would show the orange on sides..........

Not end of world as imo its still far better than it was

Popped out of wing


Covers(or rather sticky backed flexible carbon fibre stuff)


Reverse of orange reflector


So peeled and stuck



Can hardly see them now ...........this is what i wanted instead of ghastly in your face orange ugliness



Now i have carbon fibre ugliness *


All i await now is my smoked repeaters i found after buying clear no worries as only £17 so not a big deal

 

Smoked repeaters fitted now so a little more subtle down the sides







Not sure yet if to try some

For the rear lights,after that i may get alloys either refurbed and sprayed a slightly darker grey or just buy new ones..........

 

Yes spot on,thanks again,i never noticed tbh but under light the black has lots of blue speckles in the touch up paint. Under bright light the black shows blue speckles...........would never have known

A spray job must not be the easiest..............either way i like it a lot

Going to get winter out of the way,then when spring before it gets to warm(yeh wish full thinking up norf) i will get the body sorted,all gone around to remove fine marks/scratches then polished.

Might be it this year apart from a dvd/gps head unit(Rach has claimed the JVC for hers) and an under seat subwoofer for discrete bass(after seeing the kids xmas list next year i will look into potential performance improvements. I am 50/50 with age,and coming from a slow beast it feels quick to me,also i cant take advantage now never mind having 280hp on tap!! So jury out for now

Standard sound is OK,little more oomph will sort without filling the boot with a bass tube. Now my boot is small compared to the shogy(no roof crate too ),i have to be a little more fussy for room when camping or going caravan. Maybe even a roof box is on the cards so hence under seat active sub just to improve sound a little

 

To be honest spraying isn't too bad, as the missus wrote the rear bumper off on ours I replaced it with an obsidian black (similar colour to yours but on 04 model onwards) and resprayed it myself with cans that I had made up by a local auto paint supplier.

I though, being pearlescent, it would be a bit of a nightmare, but it came out well.
I just gave it a few light passes, making sure to spray in the same direction rather than back and forth, and got good even coverage, the matal flake in the paint was nice and even.

I replaced my head unit last weekend, having read your thread in the ice section.
Went for an alpine Bluetooth double din unit. Sounds better than the standard head unit, but want to replace the door speakers with focal components.
These doors really do need sound deadening of some description though to improve things further.
