I think as punishment for asking silly questions you need to sell me your back box. Or alternatively I could offer to swop you for an inferior back box, but that would just be down right cheeky

Let me think............erm, no thanks.

Me, i'd rather leave the fold than get a watered down version. No offence.

You do have a swapping point; Not seen many stubby 2-door bugeyes.

Just had another look at yours. It is really nice. Though I'd like to have it I'd also want to keep mine. Then I could have a domino pair.

Why would you want to get rid of your white bugeye WRX for a STi, Your WRX looks very nice, pop a TD05- 20g and get it mapped and you will have a very fast WRX, Ive driven WRX's and STi's and I prefer the 5 speed from the WRX!!!!

tbh the STi appeals to me more rather than having to go upgrading my wrx.. dont get me wrong i love my white bug and will more than likley do the upgrades but if there is a chance of an STi then ide go for it

My '08 STI is costing less on petrol & insurance than the '06 WRX it replaced!

10k service about £30 more expensive.

6 gears makes a huge difference to fuel consumption on motorway.
