MY03 STi specC - pic update
 

I've posted pics previously of my white beast. Now it's had the STi rear wing fitted and wing mirrors/fixing plates colour coded, here are some more as promised.

The remaining external mods (if you're interested) are:
- white mud flaps (having washed the car today I really WANT them)
- pink 'i' badge
- driving lights (not fogs)

Initially I didn't like the front and rear JDM splitters that came on the car, but now the car looks more balanced, and I've had time to get used to them, I'm going to leave them on (plus lots of overwhelming thumbs up from you lot). I still prefer the look of the STi front corner additions on the regular STi, and the rear skirts can make the car look a bit 'fat arsed' from certain angles (and perhaps a bit Gran Turismo for my tastes), but what the heck, these items are rare on cars in the UK being JDM items.

Thanks to DRMotorsport for the STi copy wing, and to Scoobylinic for fitting it and colour coding the wing mirrors, in particular Kev and Adam who were most helpful and accommodating.

Please excuse the high number of pics, tried similar shots from various angles/lighting and with the roof vent flap open and not open. Most are left un-corrected for the casts caused by a low sun, but I think it looks quite warm on a white car.

Things to note:
- STi GeNome exhaust & gauges (rebadged Defi)
- the infamous RE070 (probably selling them next week in favour of F1s!)
- the lightweight magnesium BBS alloys
- the rear water tank in the stripped out boot
- rear wing being fitted at Scoobyclinic (at the end)

the white flaps will finish a beautifull car off nicely

Nice! Are those the genuine OEM STi articles? If not what are they?

Mike

More money than sense OEM ones mate

They do look the business tho... what price did you pay? Was it the std £175 per pair? :-(

Yep but got free fitting with my SIDC discount

What would you say the thickness of the material is on the OEM ones?

5mm at a guess [ cause its to bloody late to go out tonight]

but i'll measure in the morning

Lovely looking motor. :cool:
<pedant mode on>One (very) minor niggle. The JDM's have the de-tango'd headlights (nice, trying to pluck up courage to do my MY03 ones), but they insist on using orange bulbs (front and rear) creating that fried egg effect. Try some of theseor these

<pedant mode off> ;)

very very nice mate .... top of my Santa list this year :)

LOL @ the boot in the Spec C !
was this car once for sale at Wicked Kit?

"5mm at a guess [ cause its to bloody late to go out tonight]"

They are 3mm I believe! :)

VVVVVV Nice :) love it in white

although ... I prefer phil's wheels with white.

Absolutely stunning :D

Looks great in white.....

Do they seriously leave out the boot carpet for weight saving, then put a (12 litre ?) water bottle in there ?

That's 1kg per litre, just don't fill it as full ;)

Nice one, if I ever see you in my rear-view I shall gracefully indicate left!

OVERKILL on the links ya think!

Very :cool:

the first white Ive seen that I would go for :D

stunning mate! :D

I'm going to stick with these custom BBS ones for now as they are magnesium and so lighter :-)

hi can I ask a question??

its not a dig at all.

but...

im guessing you will not be racing this car?

so what does it matter how light your wheels are in favour of it looking better?

it looks the bo11ox now imho.

and presumably it goes like stink.........

just a thought?

jamo :D

corner >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>:D

Handling will be much better with lighter wheels. Noticable, even on the public roads

Quite! What has "racing" (on a track?!) got to do with it, I pressume he doesn't drive 'hard' on normal roads?! I think I flick the wheel about a lot more often/quicker on twisty roads up in them there hills than I would on a track, so lighter wheels significant, especially with the suspension being worked harder on a rougher surface.

mikeswrt. nice pics m8
white is THE colour!!:D:D

phil stephens. the 4th white sti 8 uk is somewhere in derby,apparently owned by a lady who works for VW!!! don,t know whether she posts on here,anyone??


Del

:cool:

BTW I have just ordered the Quad Light conversion :D

There are only four white typeUK STi out there?!
Have to admit I've never seen one!

I have been told there are only 5 White UK STi's

There are some White Spec C's kicking around

looks absolutely gorgeus mate, looks like scoobyclinic did the work??

I've seen 6 white specCs (three bug eye, three MY03). I wonder how many white ones Litchfield has sold?

What about white UK MY03 WRX?

Haven't asked about the WRX but I assume its similar

My Dealer didn't want to sell me one saying the residuals woud not be good

Sod that, its a company car I pay enough tax to worry about residuals
