Wheels set it off nicely too, when it's time to refurbished mine I think I'm going gunmetal too.

Sorry to but in, but just fitting Tein springs on standard sti shockers is the only thing you need to do?
I take it you need to get the geometry set up afterwards, or is this unaffected?
Thanks,
Rob

You need a geometry set up as it will **** up your tyres eventually.

Yeah I know it needs dropping, next month maybe, tyres and oil first.
Was thinking Prodrive springs, but only 25mm drop.

Would look even better with a later spec STI grille and UK300 splitter / Prodrive style pack bumper bud.
Do love white bugs.

Nice one mate
.
I'm picking up a Prodrive bumper this weekend to complete mine - only other styling I'd consider would be an STI8 style scoop, and a Hawkeye style rear window spoiler, but tbh I think I'll be happy with just the bumper - maybe just refurbing my alloys in gunmetal

Will do mate, although I'm going to reserve judgement until I fit the Prodrive bumper - if I prefer the UK300 look I'll just put it back on and sell the other one on - watch this space
I have to admit the UK300 look was copied off Steve (AKA The Gimp); really liked the look of it when I saw it on his car - defo look better painted than the gloss black look of the original UK300 model I reckon.

Some updated ones of mine - With launch control and all that ****e.
