Default Is it a sport or a wrx.......

Just got the car back from the bodyshop and what a job they have done. What do you guys think ? I am thinking about getting 'sport' stickers to go under the side indicators. It's a 93 by the way with a facelift front end.

Shame no one waves now :-(

Seriously pretty car, I love it!

Was just going to ask about the intercooler.... is there a reason for that? Looks like a hybrid.

Car looks fantastic by the way.... glad i'm not the only one with an early classic that hasn't had the lexus lights/flamer treatment Very subtle looking (before anybody bites my head off, there's nothing wrong with lexus lights and flamer kits )

Very nice car!

I like the bonnet, looks smooth.

Hardly think it looks like a sheep though, i'd pull in behind you at the lights!

I like it as well - I like the "smoothness" of the non-turbo bonnet, it's nice to see something blemish-free (if that's not sacrilege saying to do without the famous scoop and vents!), and it's a refreshing change to Sport's being fitted with scoops and vents!

Your right it does sit a little off. To be fair it was pretty difficult to fit and I will get round to moving it to the centre at some point, but trying to get round to fitting 440cc injectors, a regulator and another visit to Andy F

This is a new one Paul, the other one is getting written off.



Everyone else, thanks for the replies. I do like the car, there has been a lot of time gone into the work. You may not have noticed a few subtle changes, but the washer jets on the bumper and the boot have been smoothed over.

The car is quite quick and a bit of a sleeper. Most people would assume it is a sport, some even think the bit behind the bumper is a radiator.

Cheers
