Default The Version 3 TYPE-R in all it,s glory....

Well i thought i,d better post a few pics as it,s been a while since the last lot.. had it Valeted in the week, only interior that is and i gave it a good exterior going over today, so i,ve been out for a blast in this cracking weather and i,ve taken JUST A FEW PICS... Blame Kev AKA KJD MK1 from the Welsh lot, it,s his fault badgering me to take some..

Hope you like her.................


















































And a cheesy one of me putting back in the garage....

Eggy,

I prefer the V3 Dash if i,m honest mate, it seems more solid than the facelifts imo..

As for the seats, again, i found in my Spec C that they didn,t hug you as good as classic interior does, maybe just me though..

Kev,

I was knackered more like mate... but yes, really pleased with how the car,s looking now considering it,s coming up to 13yrs old..



Si,

Yes mate, the wheels really set the car off and the Black touches on the front and rear really match in well...

Looks mint my friend. I really like where its been painted black especially at the back.

Haven't had a chance to get near mine for a clean. Last week wifey wanted hers doing so it didn't look shabby going to API and yesterday I did the doting son act and did my mums car for mothers day.

I'm so glad I've got a classic again. I'm sure the new cars are excellent but I just had to have another sonic blue classic - I also had to have the blue seats which look so good but a bugger to keep clean. As for the 2 door 4 door affair the first thing I did with my car after getting it home was fill it full of black bags from work. Managed to get 8 bags of shredded paper in so I feel 4 doors was a good idea

Cheers Edd, yes mate i,m with you too, i do prefer the classics, as i said earlier, they just define what Subaru is all about imo, it,s what Mcrea won the championship in the classic and i always loved to hear that exhaust note hooning through the forests
