lol, i was thinking white wheels on green, not white fog lamps on green.

I'd personally pop over to halfords and get some paint mixed, then try and do a diy paint job on them.

I agree, there is no need to cut corners. Get them painted and get some new graphics. i think scoobyparts do the graphics exactly

Yes.... green only. Any other colour would look stupid. Not sure how well the STi graphics would look on green tho, probably crap. IIRC green was never seen as an STi colour.

Weren't you at the SIDC Rolling Road day in Witham the other month?

Scoobymag covered the event (issue 4) but your results were not featured. I think there is a pic though (interior shot whilst being run!!!)

Sounded wicked!
