Nice car mate....

Why don't you paint the raised 'SUBARU' lettering on your calipers black or something else similarily contrasting to the silver?

Talizman,

I though someone might have asked me that. I decided to leave the lettering blank, front and rear, just because I wanted a cleaner, less fussy look.

Fair point Craig, each to their own.

Personally, I think that there is something that looks 'not quite right' about them, being all silver, like they've been dipped or something.

However, good on you for doing something a bit different!

Thank god for Fotango, thanks for the nod from midnight racer.

Subsy,
I got my Type-R from a private sale. If you buy a Top Marques magazine, there are about 4-6 pages of Impreza's every week.

The wheels do it proud!

The best mod i ever did for my version 5 was get the steering geometry tweaked. Now it goes where you point it with no over/under steer.

I am fecking pi$$ed off with these picture uploading sites. I am now registered with Fotopic, Webshots, and now Fotango and all three don't seem to work.[img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

5 Type R,
The badge is a standard badge, but I sanded the pink paint off the back and repainted it with a red enamel based paint from Halfords. The photo's don't do it justice, in the flesh it looks great.


Craig.

Edited because I can't spell.
