Default my white v4 type r thread

had the type r now for a week and have been mega impressed since the day i bought it, anyway this weekend ive fitted a fmic and painted it black. fitted a p1 splitter and added the genuine wrx decals on the sides and boot. im really liking the look of the car, however i am in the process of painting my other set of wheels black to see what it will look like...

all comments welcome

ok so ive spent all morning painting and putting back together the inlet manifold, pretty impressed with the results over the origional tbh.








ive decided that i dont fancy all that cleaning in the bay every other week so ive matt blacked a few bits and bobs.

header tank.


alternator bracket


front mount hardpipes.




ive ordered all my blue vac hosing etc to replace all the shabby crap stuff, i was amazed at the state of the origional vac pipes, they were that brittle they just snapped....
