Talking UPDATED Feb 2010 - Some pics of the new red STI...pre-mods! 56K BEWARE!!!!

Hi all,

Had the car out for a bit today...before it gets it's 18" STI wheels and fog lights (and 1000 miles oil change) tomorrow...only visual change outside is the Litchfield film, Revolution clear rear fog and sliver indicator bulbs at the rear...

The car is not exactly "sparkling clean" but it's being detailed on Thursday to get rid of the poor valeting, swirls and general "not 100%-nes" of the paint.






















Brian

they do look good in red . you would think they would use stick on balance weights on the standard rims though . something small but makes all the differance

Nope, no better in red. The front end is and always will be a dog's dinner. Very disappointing. Just saying it as I see it.

In a bizarre twist of timing, it's getting a set of new 18" Lusteric STI alloys alongside it's fogs (and 1000 miles service) which fortuitously became available with the 330S Dunlop SP Sport 9000 tyres

Should look the business I hope and be similar to this one on the Rally Armor website:

Here we go!

iPhone pics of the car (in the rain and dark mainly) with the new STI Lusteric 18's with Dunlop SP Sport 9000's, fog lights installed (and 1000 miles oil service). Much better stance and, in terms of feel (in the wet), heavier steering a low speeds and very little change in the ride quality. Well worth while. 17's to be fitted with winter tyres for later in the year.

Many thanks to Charlie at Ian Grieve Subaru, Falkirk for getting it all sorted with zero hassle.

Looks stunning is red a rare colour????

Still not sure on the new wheels tho, just my opinion. Think I prefer the other 1's.
