Very nice clean sti , The kind of car kept in that condition would be worth alot of money in a few years.. id say a P1 lip and a fmic would look sick on it

cheers guys,

not sure about the P1 splitter, i quite like the factory one from the V4.... trying to find an original one isn't easy though.

We'll colour code the skirts as the next cosmetic improvement, unless i can find some already in mica black for sale..

We'll then be keeping the 16" wheels for winter tyres, and getting some nice 17" or 18" ones for the summer, not sure yet though...

the intention is to get her to as best and as standard condition as we can, and keep her that way realyl. There's so few left that haven't been modded that I think it'll be an appreciating car soon enough

That said, we've not done it for an investment, as it's never really gonna pay out, more because we've had the car 12 years and it's almost like she's part of the family, so a biiiig refresh was in order

new clutch and 97.5k service are next

Where did you get that done mate? Sounds a good price for the work you had done. I need to find somewhere near-ish to get my rear arches done. I want to take it to scoobyclinic as they do fibreglass replacements, but it is a bit of a trek from down here.
