My progress!

In May I bought a '97 Type R, which apart from the Tein coilover suspension set-up was pretty much standard....

Since then I have de-stickered it and spent a bit of money getting it more to how I want it to look! I've bought Blitz exhaust and dump valve, Version 6 spoiler, Inovit Redline wheels, clear front and side indicators and mudflaps.
This is how she's looking today after a good clean

Good contrast with gold on white - gone is the tame look!

looking nice , i dont like the wrx stickers on type r s ,why do they put them on, you would want type r or sti at least.

i keep telling my mate gold wheels on white cars look good, the only thing i would change is the bumper and get a facelift one and while you are there the grill and crystals.

Looks nice. I'd ditch the rear fog and put it in the rear cluster, will tidy it up (you can get red led bulbs for this) and get a Uk long rear number plate.

UK rear plate is my next small job to do on my list

Then I'll begin the search for a decent facelift front bumper

Looks great - it would be my second choice in colour; black being my first, but this one makes me think ....................

I would fit a V5/6 grill and a light tint to the front windows and then probably leave it at that. Be different - don't change the front bumper, otherwise it just becomes another V6 clone. I changed my front splitter and now I'm in two minds as to go back to an original.
