Cheers Ray

I removed the mouldings to give the car a clean fresh look but then found out the previous owner had put them on to hide dents in both rear doors (altho not a problem as thats what we do for a living) but I do prefer it without.

And your right ! rear spoiler is next, altho my darling wife will prob make me live in the shed if I buy one now as I've just treated myself to a H&S downpipe & centre section

I do agree with you about the car looking better without. My car came with them on but I was gonna have them fitted.
I saw your website after I posted it but I bet it will still p1ss you off if i booted ya car
I want a spoiler too. I want the Prodrive WR spoiler but at £500 a go its to much. I did find someone that can do replica ones but I needed to buy one for him to model off.

I would do it but I can just about afford the insurance. But I might make some money out of it.

Are they new wheels or did you get the original ones done in silver?

wrxsmo - As I said in another thread car.

2 things:

Could you take some photos of the rear? Am thinking of STI lights but never ben convinced on DBM.

Do you recon alloys?
Mine need doing. One is slightly buckled. They are Team Dynamics Diablos, as you've seen, just the outer rims need doing - these are finished in a high polish silver, unlike the rest of the rim.

PM me if you prefer.
Thanks.

We cosmetically refinish alloys, in that we can't straighten a buckled wheel but can make it look nice, clean & shiney. Feel free to pop down to our workshop & I'll have a look for you.

& here's a pick of my cars backside
