Or compomotives, Rays... etc.

)
why did you have to add the STi back lights if it's an V2 STi?

Its looking good so far. Reminds me of my old car.
Did you sort out your water spray issue?
Have you got the front bumper spot light covers, as I have a spare set of sonic blue with sti logo covers?
Wheels that I have seen which look good are the new range of ultralites.
Btw the road looks very familiar, think I have been past this many times.
Are you based in Bham.

I drive a classic blue sti wagon, use to have a saloon in the same colour.
Used that road regular to get to work, I have always seen a group of people working on a scoob on your drive.

. i wondered as the plate on the inside of the bonnet channels the cold air to both the intercooler and the turbo, so if removed wouldnt neither of them get a decent cool air supply? thats what worries me if i popped on a facelift bonnet with un modified under plate...

Thanks, yeah my classic was the same sonic blue (full v6 spec). The wagon has been treated the same. But the paint job on my classic was way better in quality/finish. Shame I fell out with the guy at the bodyshop.
I am usually around your way so might pass by one day if thats ok.
