Good Stuff!! Im in the same boat. Ive always been into classics but will be getting a Blob in the next month or so, really good picks... love the morette style front lights and despoilered rear... oh and the STi splitter

Black or Blue is my Dilemma atm

I think its just a case that most classics are modded as they have been round the block a bit, and most Blobs are still considered relatively new-ish cars and left unfettled.

^^^
Thats right up my street, loving it
Currently got a set of Pff7's in the process of refinishing Black/Red lip... fingers crossed they come out alright
Rear Diffuser is nice, almost looks like a pair of extra Spoiler Fins would like right at home too, personal taste i guess.

Just a quisk question to clarify, was it only the 05 reg onwards that came with the Rear Arch Spats, was there any reason for the change or just a very minor facelift?

Yes mate, 05 onwards have a slightly wider track, but don't know if that was the reason or just cosmetic.
