Default newbie with a newage :)

Hi everyone ,ive been on here for a while and am finally going to introduce myself.
My name is Richard and im now on my 3rd scoobie since may last year (not that they kept breaking but couldnt make up my mind what i wanted lol)
ive finnally settled on a 2003 blobeye wrx purchased in october in standard form apart from a scorpion cat back exhaust , it now has an sti tmic , performance panel filter ,turbo back blitz nur spec full de cat system, sti bonnet scoop, sti rear spoiler , just recently de tangoed the headlights, de badged the front grill , fitted a set of hella super tones and a set of 18 inch inovit alloys , by the end of this weekend it will be wearing a set of winglets and the sti lower front lip.
Future plans are to have it remapped next month, drop it a bit closer to the black stuff and possibly a few pretty bits around the engine
here is a picture of my first scoobie

and this is my current love, back when i first got her

and this was just before the lights were de tangoed



headlights looking a little less orange

now with the blitz sticking its nose out of the back

looking good mate. I'm loving the white wheels. I've got a black blob and would like white rims but I'm pretty lazy about cleaning. Is there much build up from brake dust/road filth etc...

Cheers mate , the white wheels looks lovely when clean but I live out in the sticks and she is my daily drive so they are a nightmare to keep clean which is why I'm torn between keeping them white or having them done in anthracite

they look superb. If it was a case of giving them a wipe down once a week I'd be keen but if they need it after every outing then they would look grubby pretty quick. Hosing down is ok but I'd be worried about ruining the finish if I was scrubbing them all the time.

go for a gun-metal/anthracite colour as it will make your car look very stealthy

Love those wheels, yes lowering on Coilovers or springs is a must now!

Brakes will be next then?
