Default Modified Subaru WRX (blobeye) - pics inside...

Just detailed my Scooby three weeks ago and its wearing two coats of Swissvax Best of Show topped with Zymol Field Glaze.

For the eagle-eyed of you, you may notice this is in fact a WRX which has been replicated to an STi (give away signs include no-flared arches and flat-style side skirts). Everything else including interior is STi replica. The car is currently running 283bhp with 295ft torque.

A few recent mods include new blue wheel nuts, lettering on the door, new colour-coded foglamp covers, new front drilled/grooved discs and new smaller front number plate.

Previous mods include updated front grilles, Milltek 3.5" exhaust, red 'STi' labelled mudflaps, 18" Rota Gra alloys, detangoed headlamps and black STi front spoiler lip.

Comments welcome.

Looks well, loving the shine.

Not keen on the red flaps though or the STI logo's

Because this cost me £7,000 and an equivalent STi with same mileage would have cost me £10,000.

Plus I was only in a market for a WRX with a budget of £6,500 and then this car came up for £500 more plus it already had a remap which I was planning on getting anyway.

It was a no-brainer in the end.

Looking good M8. Agree about the red flaps though, not in keeping with the rest of the car
