Looks great, I would still take the rear STI badge off and the STI stickers on the mudflaps...but that's just me .
Lovely looking Scooby though.

Thanks for the comments guys, really happy with how it is right now.

marty, i've been thinking about the mudflaps, i'm going to have to take them off and trim them anyway due to them scraping on speed bumps so the stickers will need to come off, but what to replace with?

Couple of options,

Smaller white STi logos like on my old car, or the same but pink?



or Prodrive stickers?

The ride is amazing, it corners and hugs the road much better. Great grip now and doesn't under steer as easily.

You can trim the flaps without removing them with a ruler and sharp blade (your old ones are shorter at the front now

I think i'm going to remove them because I want to spray the silver mud flap brackets black.

Also Ginola can you do me a favour mate and measure your gear stick from the top of the **** down to the bottom of the black gator cover, i'm pretty sure yours has a short shifter fitted to it because mine feels to have more movement than my old one did.

Looks gorgeous mate - black is my favourite! As far as the mudflaps go I would go for the Prodrive in white as in the photo of mine:

Cheers guys, detango was fairly straight forward. Don't be scared to put the headlights in the oven for 15-20 mins, all you want to do is heat up the glue so you can pull the lights apart. Then same again afterwards so you can seal it.

I've just been searching around for the right gold to use for my new speedlines and have collected a few so I will be trying them out and posting back with results when I get time. Think it will be a job over Christmas.
