Very nice, Black or anthracite wheels would really finish it off.

Nice car.

Not a fan of the spoiler against the white, possibly if it was part colour coded and part carbon...

Get some black 18's on there mate.


Cheers,
Grant

Thanks guys, going to buy some Ultralite Griffin wheels in anthracite and then get it lowered. The spoiler is staying like that for the moment but may change later.

Thumbs up

Have to agree too, get a nice set of black 18" rims, which will give it a nice overall effect.

Its just down to personal taste but I would change the rear jap style number plate. Its alway looks odd to me with the gaps left in the bumper. Do the P reg car come with that shape rear bumper or have you upgraded it to the 2000 spec type?

Get the subs speakers covered with some type of protection covers just in case you have to squeeze anything into the boot or even have to get to the spare wheel. Ive seen a good set of subs ruin without having the covers.

Its an sti 3, these come with that back bumper but the front has been upgraded to the MY00 spec. Agree about the number plate, will get that changed for a normal uk number plate.

Love it mate, the spoiler looks alot better than the other wing. I think 18's will ruin the handling, 17's in antracite will looks top.

Hows it going with the engine spec?? anything planned?

Engine spec is as follows, full 3" decat with heat wrapped up-pipe, apexi induction, intecooler tilt and splitter kit, earthing kit, apexi avc-r set at 1.35 bar, apexi power fc to be mapped by jolly green monster (simon).

May get a bigger scoop or even a front mount at some point, with a rotated turbo and bigger injectors

I meant to go for 18's and if you're planning any track action then chuck the 16" Ray's back on...

yay stiver3, you know it makes sense, don't put 18's on it until you have driven a classic with 18's and the same suspension set up as yours...especially going from 16"-18". 18's tramline and destroy the ride. They aslo make std brakes look silly.

looks v cool btw, except you need to clear out your boot...someone left a PA speaker in there

I love your spoiler, seen it before. You had your bonnet to match IIRC. Don't know if it would work in the white though.

Top job, you must smile every time you see it.....
