Aye Barry

Claire said you got a hawkeye, cant beat the shine of a black car, looking good
I will have to come up for a look at some point.

Are you planning getting new alloys or spraying the gold ones?

Nows the time to spend while the girls are in Bulgaria

Aye that wheels look nice, same as RB320? Ive got that splitter in the pic, you can have a look at it up close.

The small plate makes a big difference, one of the only things I've changed and never had any bother.

I was planning a set of original wheels with snow tyres but keep wanting a set of revolution milleniums instead so much easier to clean!

Aye they look sweet! will really look good on your twin scroll beastie!

What size is your front plate? 9x6? Be about the same size as my bike plate

I got pulled the other night by the feds, left the traffic lights at the end of Academy st (ironworks end) nobody was about, I gave it a wee bit of beans coming up the the roundabout, then this silver focus comes rippin up my *** end...

To say I was embarressed was an understatement the cop could see it written all over me haha! He let me off with a warning

Clean licence, no points or nothing, never even got caught doing mental things on the R1 and R6, I blip it a little for about 100m and get yanked for it! FML!!!

Ill stick to the twisties!

Not sure on the size, its legal bike size lettering tho, not quite as small as im imagining your bike plate would be

Dont worry i did the exact same thing in the evo a few years back

Yeah keep it on the twistys, i was was up Applecross yesterday afternoon for a blast, that has to be the best 11 miles of driving road in the uk, Impreza heaven and only an hour away from you

Sweet, yeah applecross is good on the bike too, plenty of knee down action!

Once I get the splitter and plates on with my personal reg ill give you a shout and get some pics of the motors! That would look pretty cool!

Ive just ordered one like that for the front, ive got a 3 and 3 style personal plate too.

Like the way the small plate beefs up the front end.

How did you affix it to the front of the car?

Cheers Myles! I used McGuires Swirl X then went round with McGuires Carnuba Wax.

Ive got a mate who is going to detail it for me soon, he does Fezzas,Lambos the works, just gotta touch up the sills etc with paintwork then let him at it. Cant wait to see the result! Black looks immense when detailed!

I too had a run for about 3yrs with a 3/4 size front plate. Forgot to swop it for MOT time, and it FAILED on it, so cant see how yours got through, must have just shrugged it off and passed it.
And had been stopped by the police soley over the front plate, change it or get a £60 fine they said, needless to say its off now.
Just a matter of time Law is the Law.

I have the small plate for imports with BS number etc, passed its first mot earlier this year

Barry, i have always used the tape from Halfords, its in a roll of about 1-2m coloured orange and green i think quite good stuff if you use plenty.

If you ever do it yourself I would recommend Poorboys Nattys Blue Wax and Poorboys Black Hole Glaze. Bring dark colours up and give such a deep shine, you'd think you could swim in it!!
