It's only taken 5 1/2 years.....
 
But i think after many incarnations, i'm nearly there,
my00, Rota wheels, 335mm front brakes, home brew leather interior, BMW rear lip spoiler, eibachs, tdo5, tek 3, wrx intercooler, k&n induction, full decat, morrettes and more... but i'm sure i'll find a few other things to bolt onto it soon eh!!

I've had it from new, and it recently got awarded with a roof over it's head, i just adore this car, where do you go after a scoob...?? God only knows.... hopefully i'll not have to worry about that for a while yet eh!!

RS Grant 21 September 2005 08:32 PM

Very nice looking car mate!! :cool:

You planning a V6 Front Lip and Colour Coded Skirts & Morrettes along with STi Rear Lights?? ;) :)


Cheers,
Grant

RON 21 September 2005 08:42 PM

I have considerd a V6 lip, but won't colour code it, as i like the contrast of black sills, rub strips, and door surrounds..... sometimes too much colour can, well, be too much imho.....

subsy 21 September 2005 08:59 PM

i really like it with just that little lip spoiler on the boot nice job, lovely car!

RON 21 September 2005 09:05 PM

A different angle for you..... and also a different no plate!!

Another vote for the lip and Sti rears here.... the clear lights make a massive visual difference :)

I don't recall seeing Morrettes on a DBM before, I like them... looking good RON.

Simon :D

Ben WRX Bug-Eye 21 September 2005 10:22 PM

Looks stunning and in mint condition. Quality car.

RON 21 September 2005 11:03 PM

The Morettes are one of the latest additions, at least i can see now!! 100/80's in the outers.... 55's in the inners, and 130's in the spots just in case!!!!

It's in 'Mint condition' cos it's my 'baby', it normally gets 'Swissoled' regularly, but hasn't been done for what seems like ages, must be a good 4 months.... actually, i needed something to do tomorrow... might get the wax out!!!

mad doc 21 September 2005 11:39 PM

I like the rear lip spoiler. Subtle

Simon :D

Agree with Si Ron, if you get the STI rears and lip it will be even more impressive.

Damn nice classic though :D

Love the look of the rear spoiler.

Very :cool:

Fuchsrohre 22 September 2005 02:38 PM

pat on the back for that - tastefully done

...and you've got to love the way you set up the shot for those first few pics! ;)

Dazza's-STi 22 September 2005 05:06 PM

Nice house....

or and like the car too... top stuff...

My mate lives in verwood BTW...

RON 22 September 2005 05:22 PM

You can't even see the house, thats just the driveway/parking bit..... newly built, to our very own design.....and spec, mostly by my own fair hands, well they were before i built the house!!
Tell your mate we've got a Subaru meet at St Leonards if he's interested...

Cheers.

AndiThompson 22 September 2005 09:30 PM

Love it, very different to the norm. Looks superb, I really, really like that lip spoiler.

Lovely house too.

7 Foot 22 September 2005 10:29 PM

It's looking great Ron. :thumb:

After 3.5 years I still haven't bought STI clusters for my DBM, I'm just not sure they look right against the blue. :confused:

Thanks for all the comments guys, the self same reasoning behind me not having sti lights.... i even considered getting black crystal side lights, and smoking all the other to kinda match...??

7 Foot 22 September 2005 11:33 PM

You're the first person to agree with me Ron.

It is tricky, in some conditions they look good but in others they can look very . . . . . . aftermarket, if you know what I mean. It's frustrating as they look so good on the lighter colours - even black seems to work better than the DBM.

I'll let you go first with the black crystal. ;)

RON 22 September 2005 11:39 PM

The trouble is i don't want it to go all 'moody' on me.....

I like the rest of the car the way it is, but i just think the sidelights look a little too obvious now i have the morrettes, might have a go on photoshop to see if i can get an idea eh!!

Well, just had a very quick mess on a photo programme, and yuck, darkening the sidelights does not work, it almost takes the shine off of the car somehow.... oh well, looks like i'll have to spend that 40quid on fuel instead!! :)

Johnny50 23 September 2005 08:53 AM

Ron..

I would leave it exactly as it is.
Looks very subtle, and actually very original, so wouldn't want anything spoiling that.

Good effort. :)

Patt@firstime 23 September 2005 09:08 AM

Very, very, very nice :thumb:

That BM lip is very :cool:

DBY 23 September 2005 10:05 AM

As always Ron, a Class Act car, looking superb mate

STi lights on my old DBM classic, made the back end look better.

Can pick them up 2nd hand for around £100.

SC008Y_MAD 23 September 2005 12:06 PM

Loverly looking car mate :thumb:

What about getting the morrettes colour coded?

Deffo sti rears ;)
and a front lip, somthing small and subtle like the rear bmw rear lip wing

Darren

RON 23 September 2005 12:09 PM

Yhansk for the comments, just had a very quick play with rear lights...... can't make my mind up, in some ways it looks better.... but..??

Squizz 23 September 2005 12:52 PM
