Hi guys,
Here is my car i picked up on saturday. I will be upgrading it over time so thought i should make a thread to show the car from start to finish. Its bog standard at the moment. Enjoy!!
Also suggestions welcome

 

Get yourself a clear rear light cluster and a red bulb for starters

 

Where do you mean? They are clear

 

Definitely JDM rear lights, a nice splitter on the front and some nice different wheels in a gun metal type finish, Rota's spring to mind. Nice hatch though, enjoy.

 

get a legal smaller number plate for the front

alloys get sprayed satin black

tints on the rear.

front lip spolier too

 

Get rid of the vanity plate, it's just pretentious.

 

Those mods are deffinately in the plans may go loss black wheels tho. Not too sure

 

Power and handling first lol. I did whiteline goodies (roll bars, bushes) then exhaust and remap. I did cobrasport down pipe with a sports cat to pass the mot and I decided to buy a used prodrive cat back exhaust as I didn't want aftermarket noise levels.

The front lip is still on my to do list

 

Yeah my first mod is going to be whiteline anti roll bars and bushes aswell as coilovers or just springs! Havnt decided which to go for yet. Will do look as I do handling and then power last

 

Give this h brace a look too. Its eBay item number 360568147617. I fitted one and the change to the front feel was great. Much better than the whiteline front roll bar.

I did rear diff bushes and gearbox bushes too as they were easy driveway changes.

 

Now on the list! Price is reasonable aswell if it makes a good difference

 

What size is a legal small number plate. I have read the numbers have to be the same size so can it just be less wide

 

10mm or 11mm of white around the numbers is legal, along with the postcode and BS number.

Something like this.

 

Thanks

 

I ask the number plate maker to do me legal letters and spacing, but on a shorter plate as I didn't need all the extra dead space.



as long as you have the legal correct distance between the letters and the edge 11mm, there's no problem.

Looks great

 

Buy a new one so that the drivers side is clear like the passenger side instead of red

Tidy car James! Only made a few subtle changes to mine now and it's looks way different! Pick wizely

 

Looked nice in Warwick today catching you out the corner of my eye ;-)

 

Cheers mate i saw you looking lol. Are you from around there then or just visiting warwick castle? Was it you i saw later on in white saloon with spoiler or someone else?

 

haha, was in Warwick for the weekend for a Ladies weekend and popped into the Castle for the day, did look out for you when I left but was not me you saw, no spoiler on the saloon.

 

Fair enough. Hope you had a good weekend

 

Fair enough. Well hope you had a good weekend

 

craig went gloss black, the wheel specialist in Nottm did them for him (one day turn around)

 

Yeah they look good mate Will have to get them done. Saving the pennies

 

Few little bits done to my car before i get down to the expensive bits Red pin stripe on the front grille, Wind deflectors and i debadged the subaru and the impreza leaving just the STI on the boot. Waiting for a load of meguiars cleaning kit to arrive but should be here today so will give it a good polish on saturday and get some updated photos up

Meanwhile here is a pic before the few mods as standard up at burton dasset hills with my mates BMW 123D

 

Lovley Hatch...

 

Best mod I have to date is my front splitter. Changes the whole look of the front end IMO. Looking forward to seeing the results of the future mods.
