Post 6 years later..

... and a few different looks, I think I'm finally happy with the way my car looks, from the front, maybe.

The day I bought it;


Chucked a front lip spoiler on from Revolution and some clear indicators;


FMIC, crystal lights and splitter painted;


Facelift bonnet, post crash


It stayed like that for about 2 years.

Well I bought some bits, and some paint and left some of them in the hands of my mate, Alan. The hope was to have them painted in time for Swiss Tony's wedding, crap weather knocked that on the head though.

So my car made it's epic journey, 710 mile round trip for a night on the drink, looking like this;



Second chance was having stuff ready for the NBO, once again crap weather and my mate changing jobs meant it didn't happen.

My luck picked up on Saturday though. Glorious sunshine and cripple Al not at work.

One Impreza looking rather sorry for itself;



My mate Cripple Al hard at work;




I painted this bit



Vents painted;



One vent fitted;



Two vents fitted;



Splitter painted and fitted;





Massive thanks to my mate Cripple Al for his hard work. I can't paint to save my life, so if it wasn't for him I'd have had to pay someone to do it.

Whilst I was there I decided to, erm, modify his 200SX.



What's that pink on the rear screen?

This will be what





To be fair, his car does have V2 STI seats fitted. I brought them back from Paulo P's for him.

Cripple Al, erm, "modifying" the subframes;



And fitted;





And before C.O.B says anything, I know you don't like the sideskirts. They are on the "To sort" list.

Comments welcome. If you don't like it, don't be shy, I'm old enough to accept criticism.

They are Shaun. They're 406 silver the same as the rest of the car, but, obviously a different batch of paint out the factory.

Alan broke his back and stuff a couple of years ago, hence the cripple tag. It helps to differentiate him from other Alan's

He's fixed now. I called him a cripple when he was in hospital after his accident, and it's kinda stuck.

Cheers chaps, it's more a case of saving some cash for new sideskirts than pulling my finger out Blu.
