It's only taken 5 1/2 years.....
But i think after many incarnations, i'm nearly there,
my00, Rota wheels, 335mm front brakes, home brew leather interior, BMW rear lip spoiler, eibachs, tdo5, tek 3, wrx intercooler, k&n induction, full decat, morrettes and more... but i'm sure i'll find a few other things to bolt onto it soon eh!!
I've had it from new, and it recently got awarded with a roof over it's head, i just adore this car, where do you go after a scoob...?? God only knows.... hopefully i'll not have to worry about that for a while yet eh!!

I have considerd a V6 lip, but won't colour code it, as i like the contrast of black sills, rub strips, and door surrounds..... sometimes too much colour can, well, be too much imho.....

The Morettes are one of the latest additions, at least i can see now!! 100/80's in the outers.... 55's in the inners, and 130's in the spots just in case!!!!
It's in 'Mint condition' cos it's my 'baby', it normally gets 'Swissoled' regularly, but hasn't been done for what seems like ages, must be a good 4 months.... actually, i needed something to do tomorrow... might get the wax out!!!

I don't recall seeing Morrettes on a DBM before, I like them... looking good RON.

You're the first person to agree with me Ron.
It is tricky, in some conditions they look good but in others they can look very . . . . . . aftermarket, if you know what I mean. It's frustrating as they look so good on the lighter colours - even black seems to work better than the DBM.
I'll let you go first with the black crystal.

The trouble is i don't want it to go all 'moody' on me.....
I like the rest of the car the way it is, but i just think the sidelights look a little too obvious now i have the morrettes, might have a go on photoshop to see if i can get an idea eh!!
Well, just had a very quick mess on a photo programme, and yuck, darkening the sidelights does not work, it almost takes the shine off of the car somehow.... oh well, looks like i'll have to spend that 40quid on fuel instead!!

Loverly looking car mate
What about getting the morrettes colour coded?
Deffo sti rears
and a front lip, somthing small and subtle like the rear bmw rear lip wing
