My respray is slowly coming on
Had my silver type r for about a year now after a good few up grades this year I now gone for a colour back to yellow . It's not original yellow I have chosen but a Honda Indy yellow which hasa slight pearl. Well here some pics as of how we got on .

Sorry to the OP when you said yellow I was hoping that it was this shade not the one you have gone for. This sits right up there with my favorite colour for the impreza, think it looks the nuts on the 2 door shell.
Looks like a cracking job though, good stuff and as long as you're happy then that's all that matters.
