Don't say I didn't warn you about any of this, although you have to get this **** out of your system one way or another!


Good luck with the build mate...... look forward in seeing it progress.

Shaun it's crazy, but I used to think people who pissed about with special editions were idiots……now I find myself in that group haha. It's an itch that needs to be scratched and I plan on keeping the car for a few more years. It is the best Impreza I have ever had and you know I've had a few!

I'd of used them for my Orange wheel sbut they want well over £300 for four 17" with tyre removal and balance etc

ended up going to a nearer alloy refurb place.. £240 incVAT for the same job... albiet I had them fitted 48 hrs after dropping off, whereas TWS are same day turn around, which wasn't essential

When I had my wife's done (in the pic) I only paid £235. TWS seem to have gone up loads in the last few years.


All a good job though

there's only one place you need to go for that then.... (full wrap is about £1200-1500, cheaper than a re spray lol)

www.pwpro.co.uk

Paul did the GTR on the F&F6... along with a load of other GTR's.. just have a look at what they do. He did my wra roof and TedEd's detail on his classic too

Is it worth me getting a detail before the wrap?

speak with Paul to advise, I know when he did my roof he prep'd it for wrapping, I'd of thought they'd make sure your car was clean before they did the job.


I can't recommend them enough. have you looked how they wrap a car??

they've moved to a bigger unit now though :P

The only thing I was missing for the 997 turbo wrap was some glow sticks!

May give them a shout and get some figures.

I might be selling the wheels Nic.....tried to fit them today and the STI nuts I have don't fit the BBS. So it's a toss up of selling or buying some more STI nuts for BBS alloys.
