Better I think, I assume the pic was at the Stokenchurch meet on sunday which I missed again due to the car being fettled again.

Nice pictures, very clean, but looking closely, is the front wheel slightly kerbed ??
if so where did you do it?

worked well as an almost-rally-slag but works even better now IMO...have you thought of anthracite wheels and maybe a UK style plate so its EVEN more subtle?

I cant keep up with you Cliff

Just one suggestion you need a standard stonechipped bonnet instead of that awful WRC one to finish it off

let me know if you need one I may be able to help you out

In short.....Looks a hell of a lot better !!

Okay, some answers

Dibbley, I sold them, sorry, I know you`re after some

Paul Palmer, I purposely took it with yours in the background as it makes mine look even better

Jim, what can I say, I idolise you!!

Swiss roll: thats not even funny and now Im gonna have to give you a chinese burn


Marc, The STi lights are lovely, but i`d prefer WR headlights really.

Trails - Cheers, and yes, I was going to go for anthracite or black, but found these and changed my plans. Its possible that in the future these will have a colour change But, leave my number plate alone, I love it

Craig, I`ve got an immaculate standard bonnet in my garage, so I have to decline your kind offer

Peachy, they came off with a lot of effort, lots of burnt fingers from the hair dryer and left some marks + tons of glue, but after a polish its all come good Never again!!!!

Thanks to everyone else for the kind comments, its nice to see bugeyes slowly being appreciated by the Subaru community at last
