Please help with any more cosmetic improvements. I am thinking big STi spoiler, but I'm not sure.

Any advice would be kindly accepted.

them arospeed wheels look great, with them you should go for the "street racer" look, big spoiler, lower it a bit, deep splitters all round etc etc....

Big spoiler. The new Scoobs seem to really suit them. I get more comments about this, than anything else.





Mine is from RallyTech (also supplied by TSL and DR Motorsport (who I think offer free painting at the moment)).

How about a styling like this this awsome ride? I just love the big WRC-wing. And wouldn't it be cool to copy the engine bay "styling" too?

thanks for all your suggestions. Is the big spoiler the way. The rallysport one from TSL is like 500 quid plus vat painted. Is that the best one to get?

Big spoilers are the way to go I got an Ociaria (I would have to look under the spoiler to get the right spelling).

Fitted at TSL with me sitting on the workshop floor on a dust sheet helping* to working out how to put the thing together and the running away when the drills came out!



*I looked at the pictures and watched it being put together although I did manged to build the booster springs for the boot all by myself (I was proud)!

Nice alloys, what make, size 18? They look like they would clear the big Brembo calipers on the STi? Are they reasonably priced?

Jap style stainless spoiler mate?

Then get it lowered a liitle to improve the hole look.

Very nice rims by the way.

have you got any pics of the spoiler you mean and what is the best way to lower the car.
I already have prodrive suspension on the car which is 35mm.

Leave the spoiler as it is! It's a lot more inconspicuous.
But, I think you should have a look at a colour-coded UK300 lower front spoiler, silver STI bonnet scoop, all black mesh foglamp covers (without the STI lettering) and maybe even a silver one-piece non-Prodrive STI front grill. It will make it look just right. Certainly individual!

what ecu do you all reccomend i swap to. Im thinking of having the ECUTEK from TSL in the next few weeks. It seems to be a compromise between performance, safety and price.

What do you lot think???

Thnx

I'd be tempted to fit an S202 style spoiler to it, but it might be the controversial choice



You can get them from Taka Kaira for about £900

They are NOT Morettes they are Prodrive lights aka UK300 style. I should know, I ve got them on my Silver wagon. And no, don't colour code them they look superb in black with Silver paintwork.

Maybe its not for me to comment at my age but aren't the stickers a bit Max Power magazine? Just my opinion. I don't like all this rap music either or that eminimenem bloke whoever he is, so maybe its my time of life.

thanks for all your suggestions, keep em coming.

In my defence the decals on the car have all been supplied by the companies from which the parts were had, this being for the sole purpose of discount. The majority of them are audio companies and by having them on the car i have an install that would make you wet your pants from about 3 hundred yards.

I would paint the car pink if it meant big discounts on parts for my car. Its a small price to pay for a big discount.

Thank you and goodnight.

Big brakes to fill the wheels out. Stop you better as well!
