Default My UK WRX

A few guys here know Ive had this since the end of the year gone but was really not keen on putting pics up in its original state as I wasnt keen on the standard look to be honest.
This week I have been rather busy adding a few nicer bits.
Its not finished by a long chalk but its now starting to take shape.

I bought it in England with below average miles before Christmas.
Very little history, very clean interior, a towbar and a lot of swirls but for the money couldnt say no.
I cant find the very first pics but this was fairly soon after buying it (I added the front badge and carbon sidemarkers)


And a side on view taken a couple of weeks on a run to Scotland.



That way it stayed for quite a while until this week and a lot of parts I wanted became available .
First up was the rear spoiler
Note the weedy standard exhaust.


Next up was a trip over to a mate with a blow torch to remove the standard exhaust (bolts rusted solid)



Today I fitted the STI colour coded skirts (car is sat a little higher than usual, just off the trolley jack)




Next up will be suspension and alloys then a bit of a spit and polish.

Some nice subtle mods there, but I'd lose the STI badges personally as it is a WRX

Cheers Einstein, only seen one other impreza with them fitted though they were gold, they certainly fill the arches offset wise too.



I also had these on temporarily for MOT while getting the BBS's and the spoiler was off being sprayed. They were home refurbs which looked well but one was not quite round, ended up selling them.

Very nice car mate! I LOVE those BBS CH. I'm thinking of getting them for my Hawk once it's time for new tires.

What offset M444gy? the 18x8s are just getting by and no more, I get the odd scuff on a big compression but not really marking tyres etc.
