Default Latest of my Type R

Just got the car back from getting all the bodywork freshened up and got rid of all the stickers that were on it and replaced with all genuine Subaru ones. Back to all the original interior also after getting rid of the hatch Sti interior.
Still on green wheels but I'm looking at replacing those with some revolution millenniums if I can shift the two sets of wheels I've got now.
Anyway this is it now, pretty much done, nothing else planned apart from enjoying it

Yeah I've had all my work done there pretty much, I've known Dan who runs it for about twenty years now, one of the few people i trust with my car. Can't really give an unbiased decision but I think his work is spot on

I don't drive it a huge amount, just once in a while to blow the cobwebs off, that and as a break from the diesel daily driver to remind me there is still fun to driving.

Was thinking that too, but also like the idea of gold 18" revolution millenniums, but then I do like the green a lot but was thinking of toning the car down

They do everything apart from the bodywork and mapping although he has a bodyshop round the corner from him that does the bodywork. Yeah I think he's quite fair in pricing, always pretty busy

I appreciate original features on cars.....but the standard decals just look tacky to me, I'd much prefer it without them......but each to their own!

I don't think the standard decals look tacky, I just think their of their time, which is something I like.

Old school 18" 6 spoke MOs would finish this car off nicely.

Did this car, for want of a better phrase, **** itself on the M40 after the Prodrive meet last year?

Nope, I did pull over after the play with the Ferrari because I thought the bonnet looked like it was lifting
