Oh well, looks like I've gone and done it!!
 

Sold the wife's WRX SL wagon

and bought this - (a 58 plate STI Type UK in Obsidian black) supposedly it's so rare that the options not in the brochure (As I type this I'm sure they're putting 1000 on a ship in Japan!!) It's our first ever brand new car and I just thought, sod it, you only live once!!

It's getting a few additions-

18's
mesh front grill
front fogs
loads of interior goodies

I'll also be sorting the rear lights asap!!

If you anyone's looking for a minted wagon, call S&S in Ayr!!

How odd as only yesterday i saw one on my local road in the same colour, looked alright.

love black scoobs and the new shape is growin on me slowly

Good move !!!

The boot on the new hatch is tiny - that should limit her shopping sprees

:lol1:

Great purchase....:thumb:

check my sccoby out...Obsidian Black is the future...;) :lol1:

Nice purchase there Mike. I forsee you posting a detailing section about how bloody hard it is to keep her black scoob clean :D

Nice :D

Just make sure those planned 18's are black Comp Mo's!

Black-

Best colour Mike. Enjoy your new toy mate.

Cheers guys, I'm really looking forward to getting her. I'm going to the States next week and already sorted rally armor mudflaps and rear light covers, trying to confirm if I can get/smoked black.

Yeah Swiss, I'm looking forward to the challenge of cleaning the bugger clean.

Thanks Lee, your car looks lovely!!

Mike

I think that rear view looks terrific. If Subaru put their diesel engine in the STI I'll be down to the dealer in a flash. Knowing my luck they'll use the standard body, it'll be boring and I won't bother. Definitely the new Intergrale.:thumb:

I agree, the looks have really grown on me. Saw a dark metallic grey STi at a dealer and thought it looked great, really purposeful. Look after them guys, I'll be after a well cared for 2nd hand one in a few years!

Welcome to the 2008 fold mate. They do look stunning in black :notworthy but I just would not have to time to keep her clean. So I went for blue:luxhello:

Fair play, but me and the Mrs both have blue at the mo and she previously wanted black and I couldn't find a black SL wagon!!

So this time, she gets what she wants (Or I get what I want?? hmmmm)

Defo agree with you mate. Mine looks really good when its clean, for the first 10mins anyway. :)

Lee

What type have you got? The new one you are getting for your other half is V nice! Wouldn't trust my other half in one, luckily she's only got an auto license!

Much much better with those rear lights.

This is me, slightly modded 2003 WRX-
