I like it mate

Cage would look cool but not sure how safe cages are without harnesses and helmets.

Not keen on the one fog light and no grille. I do like the JDM oil cooler hanging out front look - I think its cool

Blue RA seats I'd keep too - awesome seat and very rare (had them in my WRC RA and UK tubby)

Looks much better without the yellow and the twin fogs Rear needs to go down another inch though

Rear wheel drive conversion can be found HERE You'll need to register to see pics.

Done a little bit more done on the bumper today, not a great deal as i couldnt be bothered, and only had an hour after uni before i had to go to work.
Also picked up a free bumper from the bodyshop, said i could have it so i can drive around whilst mine is being sprayed! So called into halfrauds, £7 can of matt black and heres the result!


Going to my Renault Meganne splitter onto the bottom so ill still be scraping though
And heres where smoothing has got too so far:


Still looks a right mess, but will be finished and sprayed for next wednesday
Also started painting STI brake calipers, think you can see them in one of those pics somewhere

How have you fitted the cage? Welds? Bolts?

Lose the stickers and that gear stick on the inside and it would look a lot better IMO

I've always found Lechler paint to be good quality.

Not keen on the bumper, sorry.

Brakes will make a huge difference, not only in stopping power but in looks too

I'll reserve full judgement on the bumper until its painted

Yeah cant wait to get the brakes on, getting them fitted tommorow so cant afford any **** ups lol. Get the car back about 3-4 then spend rest of the evening spraying the bumper untill it gets too dark lol.

Sold both the BRIDE's now aswell, but got my eye on a pair of red BRIDE low max's cheaper than what i sold the black ones for, and they're red, and they will be more comfy lol
