Looks mint mate, very nice indeed. Obviously the previous owner looked after it and did some fairly decent mods. Enjoy it

I want to paint the side and bottom of the rear spoiler frayz, colour coded to the car, then some new wheels, gunmetal with a red lip possibly!

Ryan: im not sure to be honest, what do people think with the mods?

It's mint mate..I quite like the black lip to be honest, just paint the size skirt to red will be fine..And also I like the mud flap very much..

Personally I will get rid of the dump valve, especially you stated very loud.

Ryan: i would probably keep the front lip carbon, with the side skits grey still and the rear spats grey, as it all match's plus carbon always looks expensive! lol. its just the rear spoiler i dont like all black. maybe paid it like a evo fq 400 spoiler.

The dump valve is annoying, i hate the sound, and will be coming of at the weekend !

Wrx287: i like the mirrors! so no chance hahaha :P

Ross: thanks for the welcome

Im definatly after some anthracite wheels (excuse the spelling) and possibly some springs/coilovers as my last car was lowered 160mm !!

DanTerzo: Lovely car mate, there the kind of wheels i like.
