Nice.
|
P1 LTD
Looking sweet and clean :thumb:
|
Like it, like mine though, it requires lowering a little. Good man for removing the STI badge.
|
sorry but I prefer the wheels dirty ;) not a fan of gold wheels, but the rest of the car looks great!!
|
Nice, needed that clean though:thumb:
|
Thanks for the comments, I don't like the gold wheels either, looking for some black 18" alloys with a red pin stripe. & yes it will be getting lowered soon as well :)

Lovely looking car you've got there! It needed the clean :-)
Why did you remove the STI badge? Cheers, Chris |
im guessing because its not a sti
|
Yer removed the badge s its not an STi & i'm not one for having badges on a car that are not ment to be there.
So i decided to clean the engine bay up a little. Before... http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/i...impreza_14.jpg Then i decided the yellow caps didn't look right so took them off to spray... http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/i...impreza_15.jpg Then i decided i wanted to de-tango the front end as well, so off came the headlights... http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/i...impreza_16.jpg Also took off the front orange side repeater things... http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/i...impreza_17.jpg All the caps back on & looking fresh in red... http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/i...impreza_18.jpg So to de-tango the headlights i had to cook them, lol. My mum gave me some funny looks... http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/i...impreza_19.jpg In the oven... http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/i...impreza_20.jpg 15 mins later... http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/i...impreza_21.jpg Sprayed & put back together... http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/i...impreza_22.jpg All back on & looking good with the engine bay caps... http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/i...impreza_23.jpg Close up of caps & headlight... http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/i...impreza_24.jpg Finished for now... http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/i...impreza_25.jpg Now i know the red don't go with the gold wheels etc. at the minute but once i get the new wheels on it will look better. Not sure if i should spray some more bits in the engine bay, like the alternator cover, fuse box cover & header tank. Opinions? |

WTF!
PMSL! That is a photoshop of them headlamps yeah? Sorry, I have had a few drinks but it looks like you have put red into your front lamps? |
Lol no not a photoshop. Just thought it would stand out a little lol.
|
agree not a fan of the red but the car looks great
|
wtf with the red headlights haha erm MOT failure anyone :)
|
Someone got carried away with the red paint:lol1:
The bay looks neat:thumb: Like bioforger said about MOT, but if the plod pull you:confused: What are they like with the lights on in the dark??? |
Think you will be ok with those lights as that is what MG did to the 160 model over the standard MGF headlights, will see if I can find a pic as did it to my old F.
|
they are the exact same as standard phil84, no difference at all, still light up the road the same, indicators still flash orange.
Everyone sprays them black & thats fine so i don't see why spraying them red would make a difference for mot. Its just a colour. |

Black is neutral though.
Don't get me wrong, it stands out and you have done a good job of doing it. I think for MOT's though, any other colours apart from white and orange on the front of a car is a no-no!!!! Any MOT testers or anyone who knows exactly to confirm??? For me it would just bring unwanted attention from plod!!!! It's your car and whatever you're happy with... |
Black bit on the below is silver on standard cars and black on special edition models, if done oe then sure will be ok as a mod.

Just like to be different & stand out, once the wheels are changed & the decals are on it will look a lot better.
If i get pulled & told i aint allowed them or MOT says they have to change will only take a couple of hours to spray them black so its not as if its going to cost a lot to change. Will just see what happens. |
Just done a couple of photoshops as i'm not sure which would look best, i think the 2nd one, let me know your opinions please.
The header tank is a little worse for ware so this will be painted red along with the bracket things that hold the rad on at the front. But i don't know if i should spray the fuse box cover, alternator cover & the other cover in the top left (cant remember what this is covering but you can see it in the pics). Or i could trim them in carbon. I am thinking the carbon route as this would break up the red in the engine bay as i don't want it to look like everything that can be painted has been painted, lol. Photoshop 1 - Everything painted red. http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/i...otoshop_01.jpg Photoshop 2 - Red & Carbon. http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/i...otoshop_02.jpg |
