Hi Everyone. I'm still technically a newbie - joined up here a while back but never got round to posting much. My name is Shak and bought my first Subaru three years ago and still have it. Its a 2005 WRX 300 which originally came from Scotland, but now resides with me in Northern Ireland

Here are a few pics of its time with me

There's some nice mods there the car has evolved well over time, I like the charge temp gauge location plus the sat nav is a nice addition. The black combo works well to with the small bits on the car along with the spoiler and wheels and the light mod. You should keep your eyes open now for a roof vent that would look great on there.

Great work fella. Looks sooooooo much better than when you got it.
Think I would colour code the spoiler but that's just me.
Well done chap.

Looks great, especially how you have all the pictures in order of progress. I notive you've got a kind of rear splitter type thing... what is it called? looks great!

Nice looking car!, I've noticed it quite a few times outside the KREMLIN Cub in Belfast were you must be a VIP member!!

liking that

the flocking on the dash centre is cool, rather than the whole thing!

Some great work although I'm not a fan of the unpainted look for the spoiler
