Ok, styling and handling are now basically finished...on to engine mods next!
Just a few things, on which I need opinions.
1) Tints. Yes or no? I was thinking of the lightest grade (35?) all round, or possibly with a darker back window.
2) Replace the white indicators with smoked and the white reflectors with the green air intakes or carbon sti?
3) No spaces in the front no. plate so it can be shorter and smaller.
4) Mesh in lower front air intake. Also all mesh inc fog covers is green. Leave it green or paint it all black?
If you look closely you can see my knocklink mounted in the dash next to the cupholder...
And a couple shots from Japfest...
AND IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!!! I hope you're pleased....

Ed,
Email me mate, you were parked behind my RB5 at Castle Combe, my mate should be able to do you a good deal with the tints. Mine are 35% front and 15% rear and back windows.
Inside you hardly notice them, apart from when it's pissing down with rain.

MarkD - not sure mate, with what I have planned I don't think the warranty will stay intact anyway 
Paul - yes, you know I want to...
Steve - yes thanks again....looks excellent, I colour coded the badge too!
So, nobody got any opinions on my suggestions then??? Pretty sure I'm going to do them anyway...

Yeah so you have (the badge)
If you've doen nothing to the engine, I think you may be a bit disappointed with PPP, so go for something else if your not bothered about warranty. You seem to have plenty of protection gismo's so why worry. You'll know if something is wrong well in advance !
Who's knocklink is it ? Thinking of getting one for my Sti8
How was your night out with Trouser ?

Steve....see here
Knocklink is the Link one but modified to extend the LED's and drilled into the dash.
I'll let Trouser tell you about the night out...all I'll say is he didn't stay here last night

Ed, it was good to see you at JapFest. The car was looking really good (cleanest engine bay of the day ). Deffo go down the decat and tek3 route. Smoked repeaters and side markers should look cool. Not so sure about mesh in the lower grill. Looking at getting tints done myself (apparently to keep the kid cool ).
Take care - see ya

Piers - likewise!
I think I've pretty much decided on doing exactly what you said, and with the slightly smaller front plate so it doesnt bow outwards.
See my thread in drivetrain regarding engine mods
hey did you get any pics of me on track?
cheers

Those Prodrive brakes look great.Question is,do they stop as good as they look?
Incidentally,I think you bought them off a guy on here didn't you? (They were brand new bla bla bla) Can you drop me an email with how much you paid just for information (Assumin you don't mind)
Cheers
