Default my sti

My story goes a bit like this
I always fancied a subaru impreza so after many years going from ford to vw and back again several times i decided the time was right to buy a subaru.
The first one was a very nice very original 53 plate wrx with ppp.But after only a couple of months decided i wanted a chance lol so got offered a nice golf (back to vw) r32 as a straight swap.I jumped at the chance and a deal was done.A very nice car in its own right but just lacking the looks the rawness and the acceleration of the Impreza i decided to stick it on ebay after only a few days i got offered another swap the car in question turned out to be a wrx sti .I didnt really need to think to hard about it and after a few emails and some terms and conditions A deal was done the car needed some work mainly a new windscreen new front tyres a oil service the standard stereo system being installed again.And a bloody good detail.The car has turned 64k with a full history brand new rear suspension laterial links cambelt changed.Enough waffling pics below.Just fitted a k and n today detailed her now just need a non resonated centre section for more flat four rumble .

Nice looking clean motor, welcome ( back).
I had a go at carbon wrap only days ago. Was not as easy as I thought it would be but came out pretty good.
