thanks for the comments guys

regarding the fog light, i had something similar on the car before but it went kaput so what i did was hunt around for ages until realising that it was not acutally a fog lamp. It was a brake light converted to a fog lamp.

So here is what i did, got a long brake light from Halfrauds (there are two type, one that is LED and the other with bulbs, get the one with bulbs). Then got it sealed tight so that it doesnt let water through as they are made for internal use

and after that simply fixed on.

O and before you ask, yes it would pass MOT being a brake light since same power output or something stupid like that but mine passed and i know on here a few people have had break lights fixed on doing the job of a fog lamp and theirs passed MOT also

hope that helps

lovely job mate. 2 things i'd add or change would be 1 change gearknob back for original black one with red stitching. and 2 would be source a set of factory splash gaurd blocks. think the wagons always need them.

make sure you keep your UK wiring for the drivers side rear light and all you need to is put a red LED bulb in and you'll fly through the MOT

LOL that was my initial idea to be honest but lack of fund didnt allow and these BK racing wheels were very cheap with no scratches or grazes at all apart from a very tiny chip around 3mm

o and of course they have a similar look to the pff7s

Yea, I'm not afraid to publically admit to recently seeing a few Scoobs with gold wheels and finding them attractive...

Hahaha, undercover polishing they call it Simon lol,

Regarding tints I dont think im going to be able to do so for two reasons. Firstly no money left as usual and secondly im thinking of selling up again hence the reason im going to put it in autotrader today.

A sad miss but it is hard to have a car which you cant insure and drive genuinely, feel like a criminal on the road even though i am third party insured when i drive it

In addition I have setup a new corporate design company so need to invest in that also

But I shall be back soon in the scooby scene once everything is sorted

lets hope it sells

Btw hows your work of art doing, ive been mentioning it a few times this week as an example of how a saloon is supposed to look

Like the new wheels matey.

You get that dint taken out the passenger side A-pillar yet ? As I notice quite cunningly there's no shots from that angle What was a small blemish on an otherwise top looking car last time I saw it.

I have seen my name mentioned a few times just lately

It's going well and I've hit a level where I'm planning on staying for the time being

Good luck with the sale... I'll keep my eyes open for you, are going to sell complete by the way ?
No point in trying to half run it get some money in the bank first you got plenty of time on your side that's for sure
I'm probably nearly old enough to be your father

hahaha love the end comment

regarding selling it as it is, yes I am with the wheels and everything

Scratch: I never did anything with the tiny dent on the a pillar but i did replace the guard thing around it which is what had the screwdriver marks on it and did look as though it was a part of the a pillar so maybe why you cant see the little ding

But there is a picture of that side of the car above: -

Btw also got it undersealed etc

Looks a lot nice without the big WRX sticker that used to be on the boot lid.
Like it with the wheels too.
