Default 2 Years on, Back in a Scooby!!!!

Two years on from selling my99 classic and two years of hateful clio ownership (I Know) ive finally got myself another scooby.

I wanted an STI and found a V4 local.

The mileage is really low and the cars history which could keep you night reading for the next week conviced me to buy it.

Its pretty much standard bar a centre section and back box. it has a turbo gauge aswell.

I definately want to change the back box as it is too big for my taste.
Im unsure wether to change the wheels and upgrade the brakes.

All your opinions would be much appreciated.

I know what you mean, I had to run around in a Clio 1.2 for a couple of months, hell!

nice clean example, a nice set of gunmetal or anthracite 17s would look great against the silver. Rota boosts etc, but then I would say that I've got them on mine! lol

and a hayward and scott original bb to finish it off

I used to have a Sti 4, silver like yours.Looks a good car but in my opinion would look better with Anthracite wheels. Steve.

Cheers for your comments so far guys.
Like the look of the Rota Gra's in bronze. thinking of getting a set but will have to see how they look on other silver V4 first.
Will clear brembos aswell which i think i will want to get eventually.

You know something, its very rarely that I would say this, but I wouldn't change anything on that car. Think the wheels are standard.

The only possibility for me would be a de-tango, but thats it.

Im in two minds to keep it standard. the brakes though are bugging me and was contemplating a better set which would force me too get a new set of wheels. Im undecided!!!!
