Steve

Dont know but that spec is perfect if I was buying one (apart from a TEK2 )

You would make a fair bit more by returning it to standard though. There's a small minority out there who would really apreciate the quality of the mods.

Sell the car for 10k and get at least a couple of £k for the bits...

Very nice. but I cant afford the mods cuz of insurance.
I see you have the VSI (head updisplay) on the left. Im thinking of getting on but on the right. wot you think?

*Sonic*

Cheers, I have toyed with the idea of Tek 2/3 and almost went for it a bit back, but money/xmas & hols got the better of me

im insured with Liv Vic, and to be honest the mods are only about a 100 quid a year more

I really like the VSD, saves having to look down when driving

Hi Sonic,

Did you eventually get the rear wiper wired up? How did you do it?

Regards price....

I know its not what you want to hear, but as you may recall, not too long ago, I was in the same position and found that I HAD to split to get reasonable money for the car.

Unfortunately, you won't get anything like what the car/bits are worth together.

My advice would be to split the easily swapped bits and sell them seperately, and your base car is worth £10k easily.

Finding a buyer is another matter right enough!

Good luck.

VSD on the left or right? Does it make a big difference?

I would put the car back to standard Sonic - Did the same with my Punto GT before I got the Impreza - sold all the aftermarket parts on Ebay and made a fair amount on them plus I had a lot less hassle selling the car. Just think how much you could get for a genuine 22B spoiler etc... Plus you could sell me some parts too

As someone who has recently bought a MY00, I would have to agree with most of the comments above. I would have bought the car in the bottom picture but not in it's current spec. The wheels are a generally desirable option but everything else just limits your market and, if anything, reduces the value of the car.

No offence intended, I can see that the mods go well together and are of good quality, but you are unlikely to find someone with identical taste who wants a MY00 and those mods and is prepared to pay a premium at the same time.

Good luck whatever you do + you have the best place to sell the mods in Scoobynet.

This car is totally mint and pampered by a discerning owner(and a good driver).Car has been used but never abused and is in fabulous condition.

Stunning looking car.

dont shout i know u dont wanna split but just in case ...

I'd have the

-foglamp covers
-side repeaters if they're crystal
-front splitter

-interested in wheels

would do a deal with standard items as i have a my99 sonic blue wrx ra

Apart from the 22b bonnet vents, your car is exactly how I want mine to look. I've an MY00 in Sonic Blue that came from Dublin, its X reg with 43K and I paid 10K for it. Only mods were front discs, full de-cat and 16" STI gold 5 spokes and I've subsequently fitted Autometer gauges, Flaps and TEK2.

People will buy your car as it is becuase its going to cost me a fair bit to buy things like P1 lip and 22B spoiler, plus getting the skirts in matching Sonic Blue. Then theres 17s, which are on my wish-list.

If your not in for a quick sale keep it together and sell as is, someone will buy it. If no one bites and you want to take it back to standard let me know

Eddoe

I think someone will buy this as it is because it looks great and has obviously been looked after!!!

In answer to your question.......... 1/2 a Mild and a pickled egg

<finally gets own back for Smart Car post>

LOL@ Pete

Thanks for today mate, it was appreciated

*Sonic*

Ray, the VSD is sort of inbetween the Triple gauge pod, and instrument cluster, and almost directly in my line of sight, I didnt really play around with the position of it tho, I just stuck it there

Thanks for all the comments, no offence taken at any of them, cept maybe Petes its worth at least two pints

I agree that I would make a lot more money on splitting the mods, I have all the standard items, including 9 original Wheels

The hardest thing to change back would be the Eibachs, I still have the original springs, but it would be too much of a job to change back just to sell the car, plus they do make big difference, and reduce a lot of body roll

Oh and the P1 splitter is bonded to the front bumper, so that wont come off in a hurry (a bumper swap would be the best bet)

Im still undecided at the moment, as every time I look at it, or drive it I want to keep it

Still im open to serious offers, but have no intention of splitting any bits at the moment

Cheers

I would buy it (with ALL mods) if the price was right. I'm currently waiting for my insurance company to pay out and then I can buy my replacement. Something like this would be perfect.
