Another new 05...
...and my first ever brand new car
...quite possibly my last too once the PPP and spring kit is fitted
..a soo much nicer drive than my old 03 ever was
..not so 'in yer face' as the WR Blue,but I much prefered the Silver over the Crystal Grey
Many thanks to Scott Lowe for the flappers and splitter
Wot a shame it won't stay this clean for very much longer
Thanks for looking folks and sorry for the boring pics....

As for the black lights..... DEFFO!
I trust you kept the Turinis also? They'll look the dog's on the new one... I'm not that keen on th enew STi wheels although the tyres look cool as!
Having said all that, I am a sucker for WR blue, and the pic you posted reminds me of what I loved about the look of the old one!

morning all
Nathan,ya can polish yer own car mate.Which is exactly why I opted for silver,particular as I suffer from an advanced state of Compulsive Polishing Disorder syndrome
I'm actually quite partial to the wheels,even in gold
its a shame I couldn't have kept the Turini's tho.
Are there any anthracite coloured wheels available for the 05 yet?
Hmmm,anthracite Turini's?....c'mon Speedline pull your finger out
and the very thought of breaking open the headlights on a car with less than 400 miles on it(that cost more than my first house did,I hasten to add!!) is giving me a bit of a nervous twitch at the moment

No need to buy new wheels, just get yours painted Anthracite.
These people are very good http://www.wheelrefurbishing.co.uk
That is a smart looking car, enjoy

Cheers Mark
scoobyBLUE,instructions for the blackheadlights here
http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/showthrea...+headlight+mod
I de-tango'd mine today decided against painting them in the end.
Supposed to stiffen up the chasis somewhat,offering more feedback thro the steering wheel and look incredibly pretty if they have the turret mounts finished in pink I'm sure you'll agree
