May end up getting the stickers yet Danny it's hard to say if I prefer them without or not, it will not hurt the paint to cure for a few weeks anyway.

Slight update this weekend after spendinig a few more hours finishing some of the interior off...

Thanks Ian I have to be honest and say I'm not normally a fan either but with the original inserts so marked I wanted to do something, hopefully the dark colour of the car works in my favour for this one.

Steering wheels and pedals...... no must resist

well they did just plug in and there are various threads about clock swap which all confirm that...but as I've yet to put the engine back in I've not tested them

Photos dont do it justice IMO much much better in the flesh

The subaru interior is bland at the best of times, nice to have a bit of colour.

The new head unit rocks

Simon you and your jolly green

Front plate is jap spec import lettering

Cheers Arab, n one.... some of the consol looked quite rough close up loads of marks and scuffs on it, paint seemed to obvious way of getting some life back into it and I'm very pleased with the results I just need to be carefull now with the phone etc as the last thing I want to do is mark it now.

Cheers Si

You know how easy it all comes apart to, I simply picked up a few bits off here and found I had a spare to swap over then after painting, dumped the light washer jets button as I don't have the system anymore and moved the others over. The digi display is for my charge temp, never plumbed it in as the backlight was not working then found the unit had a very long warranty so sent it off and had a new backlight fitted, only had it back last week so now it is working I need to get it installed properly once and for all.

I'm now tempted to get the electric window switch mouldings done to balance it out a little after it was suggested to me.... will it ever stop

Blimey Si, that looks

You have been a busy boy havent you . The front looks 100% better and I think the idea of the washer jets going is very good and just makes the whole front look cleaner. Like the i change on the front badge, nice and subtle

I see that SIDC stood by their offer of paying for the damage.

All in all, you have done the DBM club proud

Bit of a difference for sure Chris it cleans it up no end, something for you to consider when you need the front painted, coupled with an sti washer bottle you will be suprised how much more room that gives you under the hood

Yes no issue at all with the dent, I am very pleased with the way it was dealt with, very proffessional indeed... I never had any concerns that it would be any different, Phil is a top guy
