Thanks mate, come a long way now

I changed the rear bumper to a wide track one with the arch extensions (Ry is in the process of painting them) when I get them back they'll go on. Will change the front in the new year to a Prodrive front bumper then I think its exactly how I want it to look.

Next year will look into a stroker engine maybe

Well today I took the xxr 527's off as I fear they would get ruined through the bad weather.

Bought back the gold Sti rims from kev to put back on and use for the winter

This is how she looks now, not quite as nice as before but the xxr will be back on after the snow has f**cked off

Before



After





I know the car needs a good clean

I've got it sat in the garage and I need to get it painted and then I'll fit it. It's a bit bigger than Frayz's but looks okay having sat it on the bonnet

I bought it from SLAB on here. It's this one...



I'm going to fit it further forward in a position more like Frayz's. Looks simple enough, mark the aperture and cut, then it'll screw in place although I may add some tiger seal

I dunno if you've seen this mate, but isn't the first photo on this advert the 'before' photo of your car?

Hi Jon thanks mate threw a cheeky bid on this already and sent the seller a msg as this looks like a standard Sti exhaust and not a genome

Sure the genome has a rolled tip and this is slash cut.
Anyone else shed any light on this?
