Git, I was -> <- close to getting white 18's on my mica black when I fubared my 17" anthracites on a pothole from hell. I was weak and didn't stick with my decision. I see your car in those pics and it is laughing at me for 'going for gold'. Nice car there dude .

What is the sound from the Supersonic BOV like? I have one that has just been fitted on at the tunres instead of my Bailey DV10. Sounds like a silly question I know but worth a try!

Cheers,

Nick .

Awesome car mate, it looks immaculate!

I would love a black Type-R but my missus is having a baby so I'll keep my 4 door for now.

Black has got to be THE colour to have, but I would say that, my last 4 cars have been black.

They're a bitch to keep clean aswell!

thats mad i have a type R STI, and mine does that as well, it must be a seal, or perrished rubber, its just strange that when you give it beans it cleans your rear window.

good luck with your car though mate, and your right, they are sooo different from 4 door scoobys in the way they drive (DCCD )
