Spec as follows:
Momo Air Leather/Aluminium gearknob
WRX tailored mats
Clear indicators & side markers
Subaru sports grille side set (Want a sports grille if anyone is sellin one?
)
Pink STi grille badge
WR Sport twin headlamp conversion (With Vision plus bulbs )
Colour coded side skirts
8x18 OZ Super Leggera's with Toyo 225/40 x 18's
WR Sport backbox
Scoobysport centre de-cat section
ITG Panel filter
Future mods:
Prodrive Springs
Brake upgrade
PPP (Baby on way so these will be put on the back burner me thinks or so I'm told 
)
First pic for anyone deciding between bugeyes or headlamp upgrade (1 side of car with std headlamp and other side with upgraded lamp)
All comments (Good or bad) welcome?
Cheers,
Nick..

Looks good...
You might want some STi foglight covers they really do make the car look a lot better, protects the lenses while allowing the light out.
You could also contact TSL www.tsl-motorsport.co.uk about the new Eibachs that are coming out for the MY01/02!
TSL can also source the STi covers...

Here the are on DrEvil's car (still for sale BTW), I could have used mine but I thought I would use the all to common Blue!
To be honest I can't remember the price I had to get mine sprayed a different colour as they come in WR blue or black IIRC.
You can compare the two green cars as mine is in the background of the 1st picture in this post.
TSL's telephone number is 0115 9337200.

Looking good mate. 
I've just bought some 18" P1 wheels in Anthracite. Although they fill the arches better it still needs to be lower. Looks like yours could do with being dropped an inch or two as well.

Nick,
I do prefer those lights to the Morettes (sorry ZIPPY). Where from and how much? Are they better as lights or purely a cosmetic upgrade?

Hi there Nick,
Looking a lot better now then
How does it go with the exhaust done?
I've now got a boost controller fitted to the Evo and I'm getting an exhaust and dump valve in the next couple of weeks and so I'll have to take you out for another run about at 1.2 bar boost!!!!
Congrats on the baby front as well.
I'll give you a ring sometime this week and we can arrange something.
Andy

Thanks for the comments so far guys!
Mattel - I forgot to include the STi covers on my 'wish list'.I may order these soon cos I must admit they look pretty cool on Dr Evils motor (Even in that common WR Blue colour!!!!!! )
Nath - I saw that you'd bought Knowlesy's wheels.Wouldn't mind seein some pics of ya motor with the new wheels on and agree with you about gettin it lowered! (There's a wr blue close to where we live with anthracite wheels and it does look cool!)
JZA - Not sure I like the spoiler extensions although they do look good on your motor! May consider a larger spoiler at some stage?
As to comments about my living room,Sorry garage - We did indeed buy the showhouse and rather than having it converted back to a 'normal' garage we decided to leave it as is.I do get some funny looks from people when they see me hoovering the garage though!
The lights are more than a cosmetic upgrade and have Hella units.I upgraded the 4 H7 bulbs (Plus the 2 sidelight bulbs!) to Philips Vision Plus and they are pretty bright now.Still need to get them aligned but they're more or less right........
Andy - Deffo up for a spin in the Evo again.Giz a shout once you get the exhaust fitted.I'll dig a spare pair of undies out this time!!!!
Nikko - Headlamps are much better at night yeah! (I can see where I'm goin now! )
Cheers Everyone!

Trip in an evo sounds cool to me...
You will probably hear the westy before you see it though. Nurspec R exhaust on a scoob is nowhere near a Lotus twincam through a wunoff exhaust at full chat.

Nick / Nikko,
Picked up the exhaust on Saturday morning and spent a whole 45mins fitting it on Saturday afternoon. Still doesn't sound as nice as a scooby though
Will be getting the dump valve in a few weeks time hopefully.
Give us a call if you fancy a spin out.

My only other 'offput' is that my dad has had Scooby turbos since 1994, and currently has a 2000 model which is due for replacement... Not sure that owning the same car as your dad is very cool!!
Thanks for the pics anyway - Extra ammunition to convince the other half that cool cars can have a roof!!
