Looks fantastic mate. The paint finish looks better than when new.

what is it with red wheel rims ? is it the latest fashion? my classic had black wheels with the red rims when I bought it a few months ago one the of the first things I did was get the black touch up pen out and paint them out even though the wheels were pretty much brand new, they looked awful on my red car, although they don't look half bad on your black one, and that shine is very impressive, what polish/wax are you using ?

it looks great they did a good job often garages doing machine polishing can do more harm than good looks like you found someone who nows what they are doing.
Dodo make some great products, I don't bother with any fancy wax on my Impreza as it's to rough to waste decent wax on, on my TVR I use Collinite 845 most of the time (it works really good on red/black cars) however the best polish I've found for black / dark paints is Blackfire Midnight wax, it would be awesome on your Black paint.

I have a genuine Subaru rear diffuser (as above by the looks of it) as fitted to 05> STI saloons and all the brackets required to fit it, still in original packaging sitting on a shelf in my garage.

Will bolt almost straight onto a hawkeye wrx and onto earlier wrx's/sti's with minimal work, as many SN members have done previously, including Kully above..

Cost me well over £100 with the associated brackets and fasteners.

I'd take £50, as I'm clearing out the garage, bargain..

SOLD

PS sorry for the highjack..
