Here are some pics of the latest look for my Spec C and it is has now gone nearly full circle and is very close to how it looked some time ago.

Gone are the WRC mirrors and front bumper and have been replaced by standard factory items, don't get me wrong I liked the WRC items but in retrospect I think the factory items look best.

I have also gone back to a standard STi bonnet scoop having tried:
Kakuemi reverse boonet scoop but could never get on with the looks.
HT Autos reverse vent again couldn't get on with the looks.
RCM carbon fibre reverse vent, brilliant and I loved it but there was an issue with the gel coat so it had to go back.
EMB reverse vent, I bought this second hand and it was a disappointment as vents all collapsed.

And now the wheels I have just fitted a set of Rays Volks CE28N and these wheels were in desperate need of a refurb when I got them, I had a member of SWS refurb them for me and Jarvis (Black-Hawk) has done a cracking job in BMW Sepang Bronze with a matt lacquer finish.















I will be replacing the Porsche GT3 coloured mirrors with standard WR Blue mirrors shortly, plus the odd red wheel nut as I lost a wheel nut and I'm trying to source a replacement rather than buy another set of 20.

Oh and the front bumper needs remounting as it is not sitting properly but apart from that, how it is now is how I plan on leaving it (for the moment anyway).

Looking very tidy, nice original sleeper

 

Love it

 

looks good, id get something on them tyres though. Bring the black out in them

 

looking ty deffo need to take the mirrors off when you haven't got the orange wheels on to match

 

looks best from the front now, but de-spoilered really suited your car

wiley

 

looking a lot better imho bud

H

 

Thanks.

Cheers.

Thanks Ozz, they are coming off but I just didn't have the time to swap them out today.

 

The de-spoilered look is still an option as it wouldn't be too much hassle to source a bootlid and get it painted but I do like the CF S204 spoiler.

Thanks H, and it's the fastest colour for a Spec C.

 

Until you posted I didn't think about tyre dressing but now I can see your point, I'll dress the tyres when I give it a wash next weekend.

 

Looking good

How did you find the Pilot Sports?

 

Nice one Ty,looks great and really now with this scoop looks much better(reverse vent yes,something like is RCM or Neil@EMB),rear spoiler looks OK,but still think with CF S204 will looks just nice and great,great car matey

Good so far, but I have only driven a couple of hundred miles on them plus I am bedding in some new front brakes so I really haven't given them a true test yet.

Thanks Jura.

 

I love new and old look, top work mate!

 

 

I'll swap you a smooth 02c boot lid for the spoiler

 

You tart!

 

Thanks, I'm fairly sure it'll be staying like this for a while anyway.

Thanks, I've still got the Inovit ST VI's I bought from you as an alternate set for when I'm bored with the Volks and winter use.

Mags, I don't suppose you can source Volks centre caps and Formula wheel nuts can you?

Very funny I seem to remember you were going spoilerless yourself with that bootlid you found?

 

You knows it Blue.

 

Looks great Ty! The original look is still the best.

 

Very nice Ty, OEM+ is the way forwards.
Bit of light dust of black over the intercooler for the "Its a plastic grille really" stealth look and you`ll be away.

But haven`t your mudflaps shrunk in the wash??

 

Looks great Ty ,but what about a smaller plate stop covering that intercooler

 

Thanks, I agree totally with you that the original look is best and it also gives no indication that it's sporting some uprated performance either.

 

Thanks Jimbob, I need to get the paintwork deswirled, sealed, protective wax applied and polished and I know just the man for the job (and you know who you are).

I agree on the intercooler, I had it chemically cleaned recently and despite my telling the company to re-paint it in black, they decided on silver for me. It's like the Ford Model T colour choice:

'You can have any colour you like, as long as it's black' just my choice was black and they give me silver. i

As for the mudflaps when I reverse out of my parking spot it's downhill and standard flaps will get caught under the rear wheels, and then get ripped off so I had to go for mini Kaylan flaps as a compromise. I'd love full size mudflaps but not at the expense of ripping them off now and again, plus damaging the rear bumper.

 

Thanks Glenn, the problem with the intercooler is in hand as I am adding a personal touch to the car which will take care of that problem.

 

I used this Ty.

Showing no signs of coming away (yet)...Car looks very nice mate

 

Cheers Cliff, thanks for the link that is exactly what I am looking for - how many cans did you use?

I forgot to say I have some coilovers going on shortly which should make it look more 'planted' and help the wheels fill the arched a little more.

 

Are they s202 wheels or copies? I prefer the original small spoiler that the spec c came with ie wrx one. Looks good though.

TX.

 

They are similar wheels to the S202 as they are both made by Rays Volks but these are CE28N's, both types of wheels are forged monoblock construction, feather light and rare as hen's teeth.

The S202 wheels.



The CE28N's.



The CE28N's look much better in direct sunlight where you can see the bronze colour much better as the matt finish does dull the paint, but I like how the wheels look in differing light conditions.

I know what you mean about the spoiler but I might go back to the spoilerless look, I just have to find a good condition bootlid now...
