Default Given my STI Type RA a good clean

I've been tidying up my STI RA over the last few months and I've just given it a really good polish which was well overdue. A few of you may have seen it in the projects section but I'll put the 'pretty ' pics here.

The day I got it home:

The arches were in great condition when I got it but I treated them to some stonechip before the winter to maintain them.

Blue sticker is a Subaru sticker that say 'Sansei' - I've no idea what it is about but did not want to risk pulling paint of so left it on the car.

I'm selling as I need to get my Spec C Type RA out of storage and cant justify having two Type RA's and a WRX wagon on the drive so one of them unfortunately has to go.

Not a fan of the black fog covers but that's a great looking car in beautiful condition.

Unfortunately they were unable to come and see the car due to unforeseen circumstances so the car is now officially advertised.
