Morning people,

I have just sold my forged hatchback WRX which was the family car, and bought a dedicated family car (boring Astra) and more importantly a type r for myself!
Its a bit of a dog tbh but I have big plans for it, and I think I got it for a decent price.

Anyhow I am going to start trawling through this thread for info/ideas, but if anybody has any info on the car please share as the lad I got it off didn't seem to know much at all and I don't believe half the receipts in the folder he gave me.

Cheers,

Carl

Don't know much about the car, but I know that's the best colour

Thanks very much for the kind comments bud - not everyone's cup of tea but I like to be "a bit different" without it being OTT.

Undecided on the carbon wing and bonnet items. I like the wing mirrors even though you cant really see much out if them!

But looking at the white cars with white spoilers and scoops, I am probably going to go back to white. But will more than likely keep the carbon bits as I like to change things up a little now and again, so one month I will sport carbon bits and the next month back to white!

I'd rid of all the carbon and black bits and paint em white apart from mirrors, I think they make the car chavvyish IMO, carbon is so halfords nowadays.
(I still have my bonnet carbon but it's light lol and I can't be arsed paying to get it painted for me to chip the **** out of it).
