Cheers Guys.
I've been resisting the STI rears but the more I look at the rear the more I hate those UK rears!
Guess I'll just have to do it! (and there was me thinking I was finished!)
In for a penny,in for a pound.........as they say!

The splitter was £200 including painting & postage. Fit is excellent.
If you can get a genuine P1 splitter for £150 painted then I'd say go for it!.

I had the wheels done just after I bought the car. The previous owner to me had kerbed the wheels to **** (and that's being polite!) and so I had them redone. Bit of a saga in the end as couldn't get a match for the orignal colour so ended up going much darker colour. I love it, pics don't really do it justice.
Here's a closer pic of the wheel colour -

PPPscooby - you can only call pictures from turbosport if you have paid for a subscription...Scoobynet has which is why you can see them here (if Phil pastes them in correctly
) but not if you type it in to your browser

Well, after what I've spent on the car this month, it's still a shed-load cheaper than having a money-grubbing South African girlfriend!!Hehe
(But that's not to say that if the right girl came along.......)

Looking good mate!!!
Loved every minute of owning mine, now enjoying the P1. It was a tough decision moving up to the P1 after my smash in the RB5, i think i will always have a soft spot for that model. Cant wait to see it at one of the next meets i see you at!!
Laters

PS
My strut brace is still up for grabs!

Hi Mikey!
I'll be at both Boxhill Jap Meet and the next Pease Pottage meet so pretty sure that we'll meet up.
Did send you an email regarding how much you wanted for the strut brace - did you receive it? Going to have to pass on buying it now as I really have spent far too much! haha
Catch ya later

The gauges are for Oil Temp, Oil Press and Turbo Boost (bar). The gauges are green when lit as pair the dash lights.

Lovely car Phil, but why take out the one thing that could save your life (the air bag) or have I missed something.
Cheers
