Alex,

Very cool m8. I'm confused why you sold the WRX tho....I'd have thought you'd have lost a lot in the deal to end up with a GX wagon?

Timbo.

Oi Homer, less of it.. you know very well Milly and I are getting married!

PHolt - nah mate, no mini-mes for at least 4-5 more years!

Timbo - with the mileage I do, all my cars plumet value wise.. the only problem was the WRX cost 40% more to run a month than the GX does, now over the next 3 yrs thats a fair amount towards a house/wedding (or STi)

LMAO - Alex don't drag me into your sordid little world!!

The Batmobile does look good mate and those wheels are a major improvement on the 13"s you loved so much!

Now everyone should know DrEvil bought the Batmobile to save money, apparently there was not a lot of mods he could do to it! Let me see so far: wheels, colour coded reflectors, body kit, STi grill (which looks fantastic), WR Sport backbox, quick shift and stereo.

No mods at all there mate! What else is left on the list? Oh yes; Eibachs, tints, prodrive lights, STi foglight covers, colour coded sills and gear ****. Did I miss anything!

Yes just don't remind him that the extra boot space (yes DrEvil we all now know how much better the 5 door boot is thank you) could be used to fit a small jet turbine to get a more authentic look for the Batmobile!

Jimi - it is different - its a wagon! And it does save me approx 40% per month... obviously, it has to be Evilized before I start to save for the other stuff

MATTeL - I think you've just about got all the mods listed that I need to do

Yes... so much for SAVING!

Squeak in no way are posts designed to encourage your lesser half () to spend more money!

BTW Lower lip spoiler, new wheels (on order), STi7 sills, Sport grill (I like the badge on the front of the car), HID upgrade (to be fitted), smoked indicator lenses (to be fitted) and tints. That would see my car done!

MATTeL - you mean STi7 prodrive sills right.. and the grill won't fit yours mate due to you have morettes.. And leave Squeak out of this, she's mod'd her Clio now (well, gearknob & stereo!)..

Forgot, apparently they do a SuperCharger for the 2/2.5 ltr engines in the US.. maybe a rumour, but might be a giggle in a few years time

Yes Alex I did mean the STi 7 Prodrive sills.

The WR Sport grill should fit with the morettes. There were tose addtional plastic bits that the standard light grill combo had but the morettes replaced.

Hang on a stereo and a gear **** does not come close to the mods in your car!! Poor Squeak... wasn't the stereo the one from the WRX?

Actually mate, my mods only only exceed Milly's by circa 400 quid mate.. I've got, WRX 17"+tyres, STi7 grill, Rear Skirt and WR Sport (GX) exhaust and Alpine headunit - the NitoSport Carbon & subaru clear repeaters don't count cos they were on the WRX

Really you need the C-West grill mate, ScoobyMania sell it I think

The mods you sold could have gone into the "buy a house" fund!

Still like your car BTW!

Not sure about the grill and I would need it painting!

DrEvil... you will be living in your car if you don't start saving! (Just a feeling I get when you mention yet another mod to the car that won't be modded and you get "the look" from Milly)
