Thanks to Trouser's styling skills, this has been put together









What do you think - so far thanks to TSL, B&C and Ian Bannings - for the Prodrive Springs, Speedline Corse 18"s, Group N back box, and tinted windows, plus some ICE.

Flaps? What on the spoiler for down force?..

Hmm.. the STi options are a bit expensive... but tempting...

The trouble with flaps and Prodrive springs


is that it = Forever rubbing on the road during progresive cornering

Nice car BTW

Sorry but it looks like every other off the shelf STi8 so where did you use trousers styling skills then, or is he getting credit for bolting on some wheels ??????

Guys, I think you are missing the point.
Both he and I felt that the wheels and springs were enough to finish the looks off the car - he's all for subtle as well as in your face - multi-talented!

As for the wheels, I don't know if they come in Anthracite, best ring TSL.

Cheers, Alex

Cheers Nathan

Tim - the tints were done by Secur-Fix in Hook (Hampshire). Although I actually organised it through Ian Bannings in Guildford, who subcontract it to these people. I think the job would cost around 250-280 for a 4dr (can't remember). There are cheaper places, but I use them cos I trust them (5 car they've done). BTW, it took 2 hours with 2 people on the job, normally allow 4-5hrs with one person.

Chrome - ah... now there is a thought...

MIRP! cheers mate, hope all is ok.

You seriously expect me to believe that you're not going to mod anything else before you get hitched - stop it... I'm crying with laughter

Good idea Nathan

Cross off the toaster and replace with strut brace, nevermind the dinner service how about a quick shift?

In fact sod the honeymoon and go for PPP instead!

Fiver says Alex adds more modifications before the year is out!

Looking , I'm glad you didn't do the 'bling thing' and go for gold alloys!

You get the 'Tarty Tango' Seal of Approval!
