I'll make an educated guess: it's pink, the colour dreams are made of (STI )

cheers & hoping that future stays blue

As others have stated, really enjoyed this thread, if the paint work is half as good as the rest of the work done so far, then this is going to be a cracking looking impreza... SUBSCRIBED!

Little bit brighter than that

Decided that my clear lenses won't go with the colour scheme so have put a very light tint on them!
1 coat of laquer followed by 1 coat of e-tech tint followed by 3 more coats of laquer! Nice and subtle imo
Still got the STi rears to do.....

Before and after pics.....




Have just ordered some real carbon fibre to wrap a couple of items in, watch this space.........
