So, that was how it looked up until a few weeks ago.
so thought it was time to change things.
Took off the Milltek centre and back box and replaced it with a Blitz NurSpec.
I bought a set of Rota GRA 18" rims a few months back, resprayed them graphite colour and never got round to fitting them until recently.
Removed the fog covers and replaced the pink STI with grey, might remove the standard colour lettering below it eventually, but I'll see if this colour scheme "works" OK
Next up was the STI badge on the door, decided to change it to orange.
masked off the edges and started to paint the decals with a small brush
Done

Then the calipers were next, keeping with the orange theme....
Brembos were cleaned, sanded lightly, primed then sprayed with Rustoleum orange, its rated to 95 degrees C, so will be OK as the calipers never really reach a high temp unless under prolonged track use.
After spraying the calipers the decals were put on, then clear VHT paint sprayed over decals and calipers
Rota's fitted, more pics later

Thanks for that.
Since the pics were took I removed the bronze lettering on the fog covers and replaced them with grey.
I painted the pink part of the grille badge orange, then did the same with the badge on the back.
Bootlid has also had the S U B A R U lettering removed as well as smaller WRX badges
Might get a few new pics up on Sunday
