Don't want to worry you, but, I assume you noticed the bad overspray from the bonnet onto the top of the headlights??

Get rid of the Gold Wheels and Red MudFlaps and you have a nice motor there!!

Pete

ditch the eyebrow things (what the f**k are they about anyway) and that almighty sticker on the back and you'll have a lovely looking early classic mate!

this is my car when i first got it



this is when i went mad. i no what your going to say.




and this is now. much better i think???? i designed the sticker myself and my m8 did it on his sticker machine.





as for the eyebrows they are coming off as soon as i get a chance.

i was thinking of putting a biger spoiler on. not to big though. a mid level one maybe.

and when i remove the wind deflecters i will have the paint tuched up and have the skirts done at the same time.

Make time to get those light brows off now! All of the rest sounds good to me and I would lose the big WRX on the boot like everyone else. The car has quite a rally look to it with those colours,nice and different.

If you like it then keep it the way it is!

Nice to see someone being different for a change! I think the WRX sticker looks good with the flaps

The car looks much nicer when you bought it, apart from the "eyebrows" which are a tasteless addition to any car. The assorted tat that has been added since cheapens the cars image no end, get rid of all of it.

I had a 93wrx and removed the pointless wind deflectors, and the paintwork underneath didnt need redoing. Colour code the black plastic, a higher rear spoiler, possibly an official front spoiler might tidy it up. But IMHO it's a waste tarting up a car when you can simply put the money aside and buy a newer model. You might as well sit there and burn your cash modifying that car as it would probably end up being worth less than a completely standard model.

Whats "full chap history" mean?
