Default my sti

well had my scooby for couple of months now and thought should get round to taking some pics of her before I start doing anything with it, previous owner was a bit transfer mad so will have to start removing some, I had planned to take them all off but the big subaru graphics down the side have grown on me now plus think with car being silver it might look a bit plain with nothing to break it up





I have not done much with the car as of yet I will make a start on it in the new year about all I have done is fit my sounds

to this


all my cars end up like this within about 2 days of me having them

Looks like you have the ICE well sorted then Sti. IMO I'd get rid of all the graphics though as I love the clean look of my own silver JDM WRX but thats just a personal opinion. Keep us posted-Gareth

I'm going to remove all the graphics apart from the side ones to start with, there is a silver one round the corner from me and to be honest I just find it a bit plain, the car is very clean even underneath is rust free and clean, the previous owner has spent a small fortune on the engine, but without doubt the first job is to get rid of the back box for something a bit more subtle and quiet

I know this is starting to turn in to a marmite car that you either love or hate it, but the stripes have kinda of grown on me now plus it would mess up the paint trying to get them off, so thought I'd have a go at trying to tie them in to other parts of the car, so brought few new bits and had ago I think its worked quite well but please give me your opions, the rear spats and sideskirts will be next for ye old colour coding when I find pair I like

It's coming along, but like you say the colour scheme is very marmite. Lose the stickers and colour code the yellow bits and it will be a stormer

well little bit more has been done to the old girl spent way to long under the arch's think I may have mental issues..lol,




got some presents through the post thanks to tingtong,



and couple of bits under the bonnet, bit of a mess but this is still work in progress under there, still got new polished header tank few blue hoses to fit and need to get headers and powersteering resevior powder coated blue when funds allow


have decided the graphics have to go so next bit of decent weather they are all coming off followed by a respray for the splitter and scoop all silver

good plan imo losing stickers, just use a hair dryer to warm them slightly then once peeled off some tar and glue and you'll not tell they were there.
