Looks good (OK I'm biased got a black MY05 myself),
Its the one colour that seems to suit the gold wheels - IMHO of course !!

Cheers folks,

Thats all the mods for the now, it has a stainless cat back exhaust and K&N Typhoon induction kit fitted so sounds not too bad either. Had 3 STi's before going down in power a bit to this, fuel bills are a wee bit easier and it is quick enough. Fitted some nice Alpine and JBL ICE so am now happy with it, just need to try and keep it sparkling clean

I saw a Blue one yesterday with the same fog covers on. (WRC lettering).

Are they standard 05???

Very Nice, BTW.

Cool

Front fog covers are a scoobyparts item and springs are eibach, any lower and I would have some serious problems with the front splitter and speed bumps etc.

Pleased with the result

Hi Kev

Loving the stance on those eibachs and the splitter looks really good as well. Just wondering how it feels on those springs? has it hurt the ride much?

Fancy these for my 04 sti and the splitter!!!

I agree with ElmerF - why the STi badges and spolier. You either want to drive an STi or you don't - big difference between wanting people to think you drive one but not so much difference between the power or fuel.

Nice car as standard but not dressed up.

Yeah, you are so right, standard is soooo much nicer ....in fact im off to start ripping all the parts off my car, how could I possibly of thought it was an improvement over standard.

Its not dressed up or modified, it is basically a sheep in wolves clothing, a counterfeit STi - call it what you want. You are obviously driving it around expecting people to see it as an STi and you as an STi owner as per your three previous STi's.

Have you got an STi Type UK badge on the rear or does it say "My other car is a WRX".

This thread shows how the 'nicer' a standard car can look

Nothing personal, you drive it and no doubt enjoy doing so. Keep smiling.

Very nice

Have to agree tho about the badges, it would look better without them as it's not an STi. Plus there's way too much pink all over the shop from a front view.

Have to agree with some of the other comments Kevy - nice car, but it's a fake Sti. Reminds me of the poor kids at school who'd ask their mums to sew designer labels onto BHS jumpers. Not saying you're poor or that your WRX is akin to a BHS jumper, but you get the point. Glad you left the WRX skirts on, much nicer then the STIs
