Cool

Needs 18" GOLD wheels, preferably pukka Scooby ones (such as on the UK300 / STi) and then it would look a lot better. IMO it looks a little too low and slightly out of proportion at the moment with the OE wheels on.

Then the "General" will have his four gold stars...

Thumbs up

Mike I agree with you up to a point... the car does look wrong with 17s on now.

They seem far too small for the car IMO as well and of course my opinion does count for once! (Well it is my car)

I have been having discussions and a set of 18s are more likely now, although I am not a great fan of gold on the new green. I have seen them on another WRX (I was surprised to see another one at all). While they did look nice, they just didn't make me say, "I want them".

It is still a work in progress after all!

Scoob_Babe:
A rear wing (being painted hopefully)
Some bonnet vent extender things that should make the front a bit more aggressive!
18 inch wheels, the 17s look too small.
A rear bumper under spoiler from the same kit as the front and sides.
Maybe and STi scoop.

That would be it... oh apart from a brake upgrade <ulp>

Mechanically I am happy with the car now, it is fast enough I was never going to extreme measure with the engine.

The body kit was always last on the agenda.

Thanks for you off-line comments BTW!

These pictures are in the flesh BL!

If you mean of the ones I am getting... as far as I know they have been diverted from Graham's car and are heading to a paint shop to turn from the plastic colour to a nice green!

I'm not sure that is is the same as Alex suggested, still works well.

I'm not sure when they will be fitted, I will find out at some point when Trouser has had all the bits (spoiler and the bumper bits) painted up.

As much as I like seeing him it is a lot of miles for little jobs to be carried out!

The reason this thread was started!



What was the relevance of the A-10 Tank Buster?
