Default Subaru WRX Colour change ;)

Hi guys im new here, Just bought this the other week for a bargain with the clutch gone. Had that done now... I fancied a few things doing to it like sti spoiler and a nice p1 front splitter so i decided on a full respray to make it look mint. Anyway i spoke to John at J&J Accident Repair Centre, told him what i wanted and he said he would look after me. I then decided on a colour change to black from green and dropped the car off this monday to them.

Here are some pics on how its going.

Before it went in :






After the 1st day i took these :





And here is todays pics :








Here is some more progress :















Now here is the finished product, Could do with a proper polish tho.













The front crossmember and rear crossmember are corroded slightly so i got a phone call after the front and rear bumper came off asking if it was ok to replace the parts as they wanted it mint. (they also ordered loads of brand new clips and little trim bits to get it looking immaculate.

I agreed.



Thats it for now but a big thanks to John @ J&J Accident Repair Centre, Address: Bleasby Street, Oldham, Lancashire. OL4 2AJ Phone:0161 3452222
