Cool My New STI (collect Friday) Collected new pics

Finally got to see my new Euro STI today after waiting 2 weeks, seems a lot longer Dealer has already replaced the gold BBS wheels with Silver ones for me
Dropped off my old bugeye WRX and picked up a loan car only until Friday thank god.

I know not everyone is a fan of the hatchback but I like it

Thanks for the comments guys. Yep it is Motor Depot.
Prices are on there website HT04. Not what I paid though Got a very good deal.

!!Word of warning!! Euro's don't come with trackers. I had to have one fitted.

More pics to come over the weekend

Should have my Rally Armor mud flaps fitted by then as well

Well I got it

Car is a dream, Far better than any newage I've driven.

Had it laser alined after having the silver replacement BBS wheels fitted


Then fitted the Rally Armor mudflaps. Not for the faint hearted ripping off part of the wing and side skirt to fit the front ones. Wife said you've only had it 3 hours and your already taking it apart

you are joking right? the euro comes loaded and once again we get screwed from the uk dealer and have to pay for everything?

the new hatch is just like the rest of the newage cars, a few people love the right from the start and peole such as myself it grows on like the hawkeye did.

not sure if i coul dtrade my p1 in for one though

+1

(Still pondering either to spray the BBS's Black or fork out on a set of Advan RS's)






I'm liking the Rally Armour's. How much were they and who from?

I've seen how troublesome the fitting is...
