sorry forgot to say have some black rota gra winter wheels..

not sure .. wheels would be the next step after the roof flap i reckon. but i would really want aggresive fitment wheels.. i think i should wait for them newage arches from abw and some wide wheels.. either that or wide arch kit.

i like the idea of perrin wing stiffies and black front mount..

a friend also has a genuine bootlid with no spoiler holes that needs spraying, just dont think i could live without a rear wing.

s202 spoiler.. im sure i can get one.. but will i like it? i guess it will go with the flap..but i'm on 2 minds, some angles it looks good, some not..



edit: bloody hell just noticed how dull standard back lights are.

sti8/9 rear lights, and a sti 10 roof spoiler would add the finishing touches to the rear.
car looks great now. if you wanted a different look, try some new rims (anthracite/gunmetal on black)

Personally i think its pretty good as is.
Powdercoat the cooler black or graphite, painting it will chip much easier and look pants.
Swap the wheels to some gold 18" revolution milleniums.
Personally id decide if you want a race or rally look. If you want the diffuser, ditch the flaps. if you want the flaps, ditch the diffuser and add a nice diff guard.

Personally id keep the flaps and dump the diffuser and add some milleniums or compomotives.
The rest of the car look great as is...

Maybe a Spec C roof vent
