Default Finally got my 05+ Arches on :-)

After slowly collecting the bits and getting them painted iv managed to get the wide track look I was after......Some might say it was a waste of money but I like it

Cheers for the comments, Im not going to go as far as changing the hubs and drive shafts, keep toying with the idea of either a 15 or 20mm spacer kit or the xxr or rota drift look I rolled the lip before fitting the arches just to leave my options open.

forgot to say Iv not converted the interior, left that as the original 03 STI one, if money allows might go for the stealth Spec C black one :-)
