Default PFF7's on my Silver STI

Well today was busy.

I managed to destroy and repair my splitter via hitting a deer, so thats been repaired and sprayed black and refitted to car.

I've fitted new Brembo pads front and rears, fronts need new discs' next time as they've the smallest lip on them so next time i'll have new discs. Rears where only actually half worn but I swapped them for new set anyway.

I sourced front Brembo pads for £70 and rears for £50 so was very happy with that, they came with the copper grease tubes, clips, and all other bits.

Oil change was done

I fitted my PFF7's but before I did that I had to collect and have fitted to them a set of Continental Sport 3 tyres.

Prodrive lowering springs also have gone on (not today though)

Few pics, it's 8pm so getting dark and the car is dirty but I was so pleased I wanted to post pics. Didn't even get the tyre shine out.

So will have a set of recently refurbed Steel Grey STI wheels for sale shortly and I have 7 tyres, 3 spares 4 on the wheels, the 4 on the wheels all have atleast 4mm tread if not more.

Took me a second to realise who it was, saw the location and it clicked.

How is the car going?

Thanks for all the kind comments.

MarkGT that top picture of yours I actually used as a guide of how mine would look.

In the pictures though I thought yours was Crystal Grey or whatever that slightly darker colour is called? Looks very nice though! if that last picture is your car on your driveway then your driveway is bigger than my house area x2

Cheers for the kind words I'm flattered. Yes I think my car is Crystal Grey, depending what angle you look at it depends what colour it is. Sometimes a gun metal colour sometimes a dark silver.

As for the drive I live in France and properties tend to have long drives or huge gardens and you get a lot more for you money. I could have put my old house (including garden) in England on my veggie patch. My drive is 100 meters long and I could probably fit around 12-15 cars where the pictures were taken.

Thanks for all the kind comments.

Whole community and forum is a great help for inspiration.

Amazing how the set of wheels has transformed the car, I liked the look before but now I love it.
