Not the most interesting post, but I'm excited, so whatever.... 
Just ordered:
EBC blue stuff rear pads
Stoptech rear grooved discs
Perrin radiator cover
HT Autos new front splitter
Also still trying to find time to fit the Whiteline front anti roll bar. Not enough hours in the day at the moment.
On another note, can anyone recommend a decent paint/body shop in the Catterick area?

Just placed an order for:
Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.3 in anthracite. 18 x 8.5" et 38 wrapped in Yoko Advan Sports. Should have them in about 3-4 weeks, or as soon as Team Dynamics make them.

Couple of new bits and pieces...
Perrin radiator shroud:
HT Autos front splitter:
Still awaiting the call about the new wheels, hoping I get that this week so I can pick them up on Friday. Also plan on fitting the new rear pads and discs this weekend.

New wheels and tyres fitted yesterday... Quick pic for now. Car is filthy as I haven't been around properly for a couple of weeks. Will get some better pics next weekend when I can get home and give it a good going over.
They look ten times better in the flesh. Really make the red calipers stand out. Next weekend, I will also be fitting new rear discs and pads (Stoptech grooved and EBC Bluestuff).
So what does everyone think?

Crikey that was a long weekend! Car looks stunning and these hatches are really starting to grow on me...

Speaking of better pics... Photoshoot today courtesy of a good mate. Dan over at DanFreemanPhotography.com
Have a look at his stuff, genuinely brilliant!
Anyways, gave the car a good going over and then went out and shot these. As always, let me know what you think. Just had the splitter and moustache painted gloss black. Next weekend, will pick up a new set of fog surrounds that will receive the same paint colour on the bit that comes silver from the factory. Should help to smarten up the front end.
Also had the new rear discs and pads replaced; Stoptecth grooved discs and Bluestuff pads.

Goodies...
Few new bits and pieces arrived the other day... 
Kartboy short shifter
Kartboy front and rear shifter bushes
Kartboy front and rear endlinks
Powerflex steering rack bushes
Toyosports (cheapo) catch can
Yellow film for fog lights (not pictured, will post one up when done)
Am buying some new hose for the catch can since the stuff that came with it is sh*te. Can anyone recommend where to get some decent automotive hose from?
Probably won't get the bits on for a couple of weeks due to being busy with work and whatnot. Also, still waiting for my new WC Lathewerks burnt aluminium shift **** from the States and some custom centre caps in white with the Subaru logo in black.
Oh, and I managed to get hold of a couple of "pre-owned" bits on the cheap from one of the other forums: Whiteline four point under-car brace and an AEM cold air intake. Am hopefully picking these up next weekend from the seller. Will post up pics then!
