I also have an STi3 and have been looking at having the later bumper put on and colour coding, where did you get the bumper and paintwork done and also what splitter is that?

It looks really great you must be very pleased with it. it makes such a difference.

Thanks for the kind comments

I did the bumper here at work (LittleKnocks) it's genuine bumper & grill with a Revolution front splitter and our own foglamp covers, colour coded the sills & of course the Oz super leg's (which I had on my old car in gold but colour changed them to silver).

SWEET SWEET Motor mate, Looking Really good.
Well Done



I Think a set of Morettes would set it off. (in my opinion)

Amazingly better - from bland and dull looking to a real good looking car.

Only the front bumper, splitter & foglamp covers were painted, the rest of the car has been flat & polished.

The foglamp covers are our own fibreglass copies, they have the clips & can be painted any colour

I'm not sure, it seems to happen with the digital camera when the flash goes off, maybe dust or silicons in the air ??
