Default mr_D's v3 sti

hi guys and girls. just thought i would make a thread as most ppl have never seen my car. its been undergoing major surgery lately and have changed a bit since i bought it.

spec.
ohlin coilovers,
cusco pillow ball top mounts.
kai works 18" alloys
pirelli p zero's all round.
hks dragger system from cat back.
full c-west body kit.
full defi gauge set up where center heater vents were.
momo steering wheel
blitz filter.

as it was when i bought it



i then decided i wanted a different colour. mainly because i kept finding flaws with it. and started to hate it. paint was thin and easy to ruin even when polishing. loads even millions of stone chips and a cracked from bumper. which i knew i wasnt going to be able to match candy apple red. so started the work myself but with the help of a few mates i started prep work

Can't say I like the kit but you've done a fine job on the re-spray.

Where are you based btw?

the garage is all decked out for spraying. and the quality is awersome. loads of ppl spray from home. you just have to know what your doing and when to do it. ie temps. particles in the air,
