Some updates.

I never post side on pictures of my car before due to the ugly *** alloys.

I finally got a better looking set, STI alloys with 4 nearly new Eagle F1 Tyres.

The gold doesn't seem to be to everyones taste but I like them:









Before 'halfords specials'




After:










I think some lowering springs and 10mm spacers would set it off nicely.


Also fitted some of my Rallytech bolt kit:

Before:




After:








C&C Welcome.

Matt.

Yeah looks a million times better, those other ones sucked bad! Can't believe you're removing the coilovers lol.

Yeah I had a nice carbon one on my last STI - picture below:




Though the panel is down the bottom of my list for now.

Yeah I can understand why you're changing, Britans roads are pretty **** .

The good old K&N typhoon induction kit :P . I do miss the noise it makes though can't justify one as it would give me no gain.

Hopefully get the prosport gauges in soon then that'll maybe do for a while. My plan is to change for an STI in the not so distant future so don't want to plow a lot of money into this, hence most of my 'removable mods'

OK so I fitted the Hella Horns.

To be honest I'm not 100% sure on the colour. Feedback much appreciated.

I ended up painting the Zunsport grilles Mat Black.

I didn't have the ***** to paint them properly so used plasti dip. Very very happy with how they look. Once the plasti dip starts to wear ill do them properly.













C&C welcome as always

Thanks man!

I wouldn't be too sure on having it gloss, I think its nicer Mat / Satin. Each to their own though

Going to paint the insides of the lights next, Satin Black.

Think ill have to wait until Saturday to give it a go though.

Scott from scoobyspares has also sent me a parcel, should hopefully get it fitted at the weekend

Update time.

Ok so on Saturday I decided I was going to attempt painting the insides of my lights. I have already Detango'd a few sets so I wasn't worried about pulling them apart, though I was worried about painting the insides as I always seem to **** it up.

I wasn't keen on trying to scratch the inside lenses up so the paint would stick so I ended up getting adhesion promoter from halfords. Think it was about £7.99. And lastly some satin black paint.

Light removed:



Lenses after a couple of coats of satin black:








And then getting sealed and fitted:













C&C welcome as always.
