Talking First pics of my new STi

And I just can't wait!





It's currently on the boat and I'm hoping to have it on 1st March. Still trying to decide on so many things - wheels and tyres, interior (standard/leather), guages (Defi BF/SECS), side strips or not, carbon fibre wing or standard.

But have decided on:

Black mudflaps
Mesh
Some sort of DAB radio

Thanks to Iain Litchfield for making the arrangements.

Very nice indeed, I have been lucky enough to test drive a UK spec 05 and was very impressed with the car inside and out Just wish I had those 6 numbers up now lol
One thing I'm not sure about gold alloys on a silver car, I think Antharcite would look so much better on there.

Just about to say the same as SSS, definately anthracite wheels would set it off marvellously

I know what you guys are saying, and I've been driving around in this
http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/showthread.php?t=376963

for the last five years, so maybe it is time for a change.

Isn't anthracite a little dark though? At least the gold stands out.

The anthracite is a bit dark - certainly darker than I was expecting - makes it look pretty mean and moody but tbh I kinda wish now I'd gone for the crystal titanium ones. On the plus side they don't show the dirt so much

Pic of them on my Crystal Grey MY05 WRX below..

Thought I'd revive this, only two weeks to go but how the time drags.......

Decided on the carbon wing, the orange Defis are with Iain, no side strips () and leather (if Iain can arrange it in time ). DAB radio with beesting aerial, I think that's the lot.

It should be in the workshop now, so look out for it if you're up there!

I'd prefer black alloys on a silver car - there was a pic of someone on here recently with an STi 8 fitted with them and it looked the puppies pink bits!

Decided to stick with the standard wheels and tyres for now. May think about a change later on...
