Nice!

Where did you get your mats from, I've been after some similar to that for my own MY03 STi?

Cheers mate. I got the mats from Graham Goode Racing.

http://www.grahamgoode.com/cgi-bin/p...ge=newage1.htm

Code: GGS2007 £46.77 probably cheaper elsewhere but not going to argue over a couple of quid...

Wasn't sure ... blue or black... played safe with blue as previous 2 scoobs were blue... although black does look cracking...

Went for black myself..........just to be a bit different.





Considering changing the wheels, but not sure between the Prodrive or Superleggras (sp?)

and thinking about flaps too! (oooer! )

SirFozzalot, lovely motor... my better half would not let me have the black as it looks too aggressive....

oh and prodrives.. IMHO...

"Black" is actually not a colour. Nor is white.

KJ - yours still looks great - nice pics!

Sir Fozzalot - what a fab motor! Black is back ...
My (Black) 03 WRX is going to be swapped for one as soon as I can scrape up the dosh! All I can think about is STi's after my test drive last weekend!
Weird - my woman will only let me have a Black one ..... she thinks all the spoilers look too brash in any other colour .....

- Prodrive Flow Forming wheels in Anthracite - no choice - they look amazing! :

[QUOTE=MadMark]KJ - yours still looks great - nice pics!QUOTE]

Thanks again MadMark.....

I have no preference over blue or black although this is the 3rd blue scoob for me... both look stunning !! I'd have one of each if I could afford it...
test drove the FQ300(Black) prior to buying STI8 but still not persuaded towards the EVO... anybody tested the FQ330 yet?

KJ - good point about the Prodrive springs (I've got Eibach's on mine at the moment)! This will be my third Scoob too. My current MY01 is black and looks great, but I do fancy going for the WR Blue like yours - especially with those alloys.

Hey MadMark, the thing that supprised me on the FQ300 was:

The noise, extra option at a price for the sport silencer, fair enough but the FQ300 was an option that includes a new exhaust system (without the noise..) I know its cosmetic but we all like a car to sound like it goes.
Extra option for the FQ300 embossed Sport seats, no radio or speakers... all this added an extra 3k to the asking price.. just wondered if this is all now included as part of the FQ330 deal... I think the salesman gave up on me at this point. Although I am still tempted to try the FQ330, I would be interested in any comments from anyone who has test drove the new FQ330 or own one.

Chris, I have heard a few people mention the prodrive springs&PFF7 on SN prior to me getting them, and they were right, it really does change the car...my previous versions were, WRX(01) PPP then P1 any my current is still favourite to date.

KJ - I haven't driven the FQ330 - only an Evo VII (std) - lovely steering / brakes etc - but just way too harsh / noisy for the 18K miles I do each year.
Dealer who I went to see for the STi - also sells Mitsubishi EVO's and warned me off them!
STi = Purrrrfect!
