Why put sti stickers on? I deliberately didnt put them on my bugeye wrx as . . well . . it wasnt an sti

antonio99er

I just prefer the look of the pink stickers pal I no it isn't a sti but it also isn't a prodrive but it has a pro drive exhaust haha

Anybody want to swap exhausts by the way want something like a blitz nur spec style and straight through if I can

Bought my fog covers with Sti pink decals on them. Even though mine was a wrx I had the whole Sti thing going on because I liked the look. If you like it mate go for it, I've now took it all off to make it a little more subtle.

After



Now



Hope this helps mate

antonio99er

I decided I would give my car a good clean today so went and got myself a clay bar kit and gave it a good going over and a polish and a wax and I'm really pleased with the outcome as I don't think it had ever been polished!

Anyway best I could get picture wise!









Camera quality isn't the best (iphone) but believe me before you couldn't rub your hand along the body it was that rough but now it's like a sheet of glass!

My girlfriend found the 2 side pieces that go between the lights and grill off his old bugeye so thought I would give them a paint and see how they look as my plain ones had holes in from the old bonnet catches

Not 100% on them but il give them some time to grow if not il sell them if anybody is interested

Anyway here's how it stands after another clean and parts fitted

looking good, i would say that as i bought my first bug last week

what bulbs did you put in ??

antonio99er

Thanks matey it's screaming for some sti wheels tho!

Bit weird the bulbs tbh I ordered some ice white headlight bulbs and some white LED sidelights but they sent blue side lights and the headlight bulbs were just a little brighter than standard they look very blue on the pic but in person there not blue at all so I'm going for som HID's I think you can have these if you want them when I change them

antonio99er

So my girlfriend has gone away for a month to Australia so I have access to her car so thought I would do some work on the scooby
Plus someone decided to drive into my front bumper and smash my number plate so bought a newer smaller one



Then decided to check my brakes and had the discs skimmed, painted the calipers gold and gave the wheels a refurb and here's how it stands after today putting her back together











Up next is some red tuner wheel nuts and remove the mudflaps as I'm not a fan of small flaps

BLU

iTrader: (27)

Actually looks ok on black wheels tbh!
Like the gold calipers too, I'd pick the lettering out in red to match your forthcoming red wheel nuts

Is the lettering on your plate standard size? Booked in for your clutch yet.......

antonio99er

Ye I quite like them till I get my sti wheels anyway haha
I didn't think about that I was gonna do the lettering black May go red now tho!
Ye checkpoint do legal plates that size now so it's still standard writing just looks better I think smaller!
Gonna order a exedy 225mm clutch kit in a bit off a place on eBay brand new £100 as they are fine to use the 225mm especially as it's never going to have more than 250hp at the most just don't see what 5mm can change on a standard car

antonio99er

Hey guys haven't done much on here for a while but today I finally had my new clutch fitted and what a difference, smoother lighter and faster but it does have slight judder that I'm hoping will clear after it beds in a bit but it's liveable, also got a boost gauge and some rally flaps soon as they arrive il get some new pics up! Then pretty some it will be new front brakes and lowered 40mm can't wait :-)

antonio99er

Finally got a jap style Hayward and scott backbox looks better and sounds better too so here's how she stands now shots taken while up on the ramp and one after the change





Just waiting for my mudflaps to come then getting it lowered 40mm within the next month I hope, should be a good improvement then I hope
