Nothing bad to say about that mate, it looks spot on!
We went to Hong Kong as part of our honeymoon, I loved the place.

this is easily one of my favourite cars on s'net, and Hong Kong is one of the most fascinating places ive been too.
Badass car, badass location great to something different from the usual pics and settings.

Smart looking R, and in probably the best colour.

Certainly suits the HK metropolis.

Hi There,

Lovely looking Type R. Subaru's are very popular over there.

Where about in HK is the photo taken. Looks like Mong Kok.

Need to get some pics of mine up but it's still in the garage in bits.

thanxs for the comments fellas .... i agree, HK is quite fantastic... definitely a culture shock at first though hehe...

YUP... exhaust is The Sti Genome... its actually for the STI7 but it fits nicely apart from the middle hanger...

Pics were taken in SSP near my girls work and the last pic is outside my house...

thanxs again chaps... will try and get some more pics up with different scenery

Is that a UK reg plate? Did you take the car from the UK to Hong Kong?
