Cheers Scott... Your right very limiting indeed with the brakes then when you want a 17" it's even more restrictive. These are straight on no spacers needed and the clearance is good, all in the design to clear them. I'll drop you a few pictures on an email with more detail.

Thanks Dylan and I was out in it yesterday in the rain !!
Ok so wheels I've got them here ready to refurb, I've sussed the colour code out that I was also looking for after dropping on the Fiat forum for advice and a fellow Subaru owner also popped up there as well it's a small world !
And in basic terms this should be the colour as long as it's available in the powder coat range.
Don't go curling your toes up on me now
I've got the colour swatch from my painter yesterday and was very surprised when I offered it up against something as a comparison and that's all I'm going to say at this moment in time

Best advice is to make a plan pencil it out and block similar/same jobs together to reduce time spent and workload and plod along, sometimes you see people start a job and direction is all over the place that's the killer blow for me.

I usually loose interest when simple jobs become a struggle due to lying flat on your back in the rain etc trying to do a simple job that with a decent space should have taken 30minutes, yet 5 hours later you are still out in the wet trying to do it
If it ends up half as good as yours Ill be pleased!

I took everything for plating to http://www.avonelectroplating.co.uk/anodising.php
That's all the original items refreshed, a few broke taking it apart a few were replaced because the garage had a box of new assorted Subaru items which they put on a preference but not that many when you look at the big picture.

Those parts looks great! I made a plating kit years ago and had great results using it. Been looking in to getting rust off using a similar method too. Did they strip them as well or did you have to prep them first?

They went as they came off the car, rusty oily and covered in crud.
The bonnet clasp above amazed me the most, it is oem nothing is new on it, it's as it came off the car, from memory part of the process is an acid dip.
Here's a before picture... If I had realised how big the difference was going to be I would have taken a few more detailed pictures.

Looking superb Si, glad to see you finally got your hands on a set of Milleniums. I can't think of a better looking rim on an RA and I'm sure the shade of gold will suit too
