Looks in good nick that, although I'd have to paint the spoiler in the body colour.
Is that primer or is it intentionally white?

Judging by the wheels, grill, wing markers and graphics, I'd say it was intentional.

Looks good though, maybe do the top spoiler and wing mirrors white too?

Seen this in the other Thread Jon, looking forward to seeing it complete, what colour(s) have you chose, or is this a secret?

Is the mounting for the Wing mirrirs fixed, ie will they take a small knock without causing damage?

DBM with a secret twist

I'm tweaking the mirrors to make them shock proof, but it won't take much

Cheers

Wheels are 18" inovit torques in gunmetal. Although i need to try and find some new centre caps, one fell out somewhere going round Brands (probably when thumping a curb lol)

Splitter is a replica of the Subaru one (which they charge nearly £300 for!). Still pretty rare to find now.

I've had the car for around 8mths, but as it was a non runner in a very bad state its been a bit of a trek to get it to here. So since ive had it: new engine, 2.5 clutch, GT30, 76mm Samco inlet, FPR, Full 3" Decat, H&S Headers & Uppipe, 3 Port, Walbro, Inner wing CAI, Fog Feed, Coilovers, H Brace, Dare drift alloys with Eagle F1's & Spacers, Mudflaps..... forgotten anything

Plan to uprate the brakes with the Godspeed offer or simular, whitelines, other cornering mods, better clutch, aftermarket ECU, other weight reducing ideas, and then continue with the rst of the Gudgements and SSO. Round one was terrible for me with a sliping clutch, lack of supporting mods for cornering, NPS failing, and the Eagle F1's just are not ideal for track use either.

The other Biggy, is a full colour scheme plan, Im thinking of a full Matte black wrap with a possibility to convert the Bug to either a Prodrive / morette look, or even stump for the Hawk conversion

As I have two job, and the main being the bread and butter which is now in jeopardy, im just holding off on any big spends atm until I get some idea on what is likely to happen

You really need a set of JDM Sti Lights and it would finish your car off fella. IMO
Apart from that it is stunning
