keep up the good work fella!

post new pics when you get the conversions done on your list. oh I think it would look nice with the bbs 18's

when you start the engine mods, put in a FMIC and then the SWRT car bonnet to complete the look

Why did you not keep the original lights and go HID think they would have looked better and more WRC ??

Don't know if I'm doing the right thing here, but you asked for opinions.
If the car is as you specced it then fine (artistic license and all that)
However...
The spike logo on the wing is slightly too big, and should have the url below it...
The STI on the rear quarter is too big, and should have Subauru Technica International below it...
The swrt.com on the sill is too small...
The sammy logo is too small and should be in green / jade, however the lettering is too large...
The main 'swoosh', and the stars should have a light blue drop shadow.

There's also a couple of logos missing from the front wings, but again that could be personal taste

Well, you did ask


Sticky (flamesuited) Stuff

Sticky Stuff agree with you hence the "I want it too be different" wasn't looking 4 the exact rally rep hence lights-decals,oh & forgot to mention that it glows in the dark as well


Foxmod the lights are off the subaru uk web site,

What do you think?
As Tal says, alright if you like that sort of thing. Seems a bit off claiming it's a "rally replica" when you've got Morrettes on it though!

Still got the roof vent & flaps to go
Why? SWRT cars run without flaps most of the time nowadays, and spent all of last season and part of 2002 running without a vent. Perfect excuse not to f&&k your roof up!

Engine mods in 2 years,******* warranty.
Could have saved all that by buying an older car, or an import!

Was wondering when you'll show up
Roof vent it sticks on,no holes no drilling.
Flaps 2 stop the ******* stone chips,tar & any other cr&p you find on the roads.
Why buy an older car when I like the new ones better.
