Just put a deposit down to bring in a spec c hatch so any info would be appreciated. Any colour will do, mileage and condition is more important, and it should cost no more than a forged 2.5 UK !! so any info would be appreciated eg De-chaving the rear light clusters, wheel specs to run a winter set etc. Got to get on and sell my blob sl wagon, and all the td04 hybrid bits and bobs that I had built up for it.

You sure about the price on a hatch spec-c, what price do you have in mind on the road in the UK?

Brocksey, I thought long and hard about yours when it was up for sale ! Can you tell me the wheel offset, pcd, bolts etc ? Are the red rear light clusters just some vinyl work ?
The importer that I am using showed me one that had 87000km on it and would have been around £ 15 000 sold here, but I`m looking at a little lower mileage.

My S-GT was originally imported by Litchfield and the rear light clusters have red vinyl on them, presumably done by the importer.
Awesome choice of car by the way

Yer mine were done by litchfield also I paid 19k for mine but saying that for what it is and what ya get its bloody cheap I was offered money for it a few weeks ago and I'm affraid this one is not going it will stay and go in garage I have more genuine sti parts coming soon so will be worth more to me I love the drive and the way the boost comes in so early will be 500 plus after new year so will be even more happier I do go on about it but it was by far best decision I made you wouldn't be disappointed in a spec c or even a jdm model

Oh ok, I didn't think the one with the Litchfield sticker was the same car, as that has rear tints, window deflectors, front lip spoiler and looks to have black R205 STi trims (yours are Chrome).

Who took the sti parts off your car then? Front lip and the r205 side trims?
£300 worth of stuff there.
Have you got the flat bottom steering wheel yet?

they may have won it at £250.. but you never know if the winner also had a £380 Max bid on it!
The STi Flexi brace is awesome
I went for the 20th Anniversary edition one.
