rota grids in gunmetal 17" -7.5 so apparently they wont have the drift look i was after without going for much larger / expensive rims , but i can live with that
i did want that grid drift look but im not going to spend too much just for it

ah yes, remember seeing you

don't mind the size of the exhaust, quite like the look of it, but **** me it's loud!!
has been on the car 6 years, but cutting out the 2.5" flange for 3" seems to have brought the noise

Where did you order them from Craig? That seems excessive, even with a mix up!! Was told when I ordered mine that they would be 3-5 days, had a call within 24hrs saying they'd arrived

like the sound, very aggressive (3" turbo back no cats/boxes) but attracts a bit too much attention! plus i have a curfew now as to when i can use it, not too early or late in the day

Back in Subaru power again, in the form of a twin turbo white 'late model' Legacy.
It's my stepping stone towards an animal but need to get saving after the new year.
Few of you may remember me from before, but been away for a while.
