right since then I have bought some more mods

18" XXR 527's
genuine sti winglets as the guy before me put on a aftermarket winglets and splitter which I hated with a passion
also got a nice front lip
full leather interior including carpets and leather door cards
pioneer double din head unit http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/s...egoryId_165655
pioneer door speakers with adaptors
full set of all silicone hose from the group buy on the forum from scoobyworx " waiting for them to get in stock before they deliver "
full hawk eye centre console and hawk hand brake which I still need to fit
tripple gauge dash mount bought today http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1611924667...84.m1439.l2649
set of three JDM stepper gauges from prosport bought today oil pressure , voltage and boost gauge http://rspec.co.uk/b-gauges-b/jdm-stepper-motor-warning
also bought a gopro hero 3 black edition a couple of days ago for having some fun with the impreza.
also another set of mudflaps from matty the impreza breaker

here is the car with the XXR 527's before I changed the winglets and splitter

I like the STI rear spoiler as is

TBH just cant help myself with modifying LOL
the exterior will not be touched as thats just the way I like it
just the engine bay and interior will be getting worked on and tint the rear window a bit darker

Don't like either set of wheels, what's the leather for, to make it easy to wipe your boyfriends jizz off when he misses your mouth?

the fact you dont like the wheels makes me like them even more

Hmmm I think I know why when leather was mentioned you started thinking in a queer manner

might buy a set of coilovers to lower the car a little bit
the only thing is there is so much speed bumps around aberdeen
and I remember the civic scrapping like hell when I lowered that.

already on it Dan
got a set of nearly new mud flaps from matty @ MB developments which arrived today

the impreza already has mud flaps but the drivers side one is missing and the other three are a bit scabby so glad I got a set from matty

any chance of PMing me a rough price for your coilovers Dan as I would be interested
it wouldn't be till the start of march until I was home from Saudi Arabia mate so
there would be plenty of time as I know you are leaving your car until the MOT runs out

as its a 50/50 about going for coilovers

I know Dan I am still thinking on getting a set
I contacted myster R about the group buy thats on the forum and asked how long it would take after paying for the coilovers to arrive with me and they said it would be a little while.
if they said like 7 - 10 days I would of bought them there and then but I was not willing to wait weeks for them

You going up in the world, selling your bum to Arabs instead of drunks in the park, so that's how you bought the new wheels then.

I wouldn't say going up in the world as Saudi is a sandy **** hole of a place

The Arabs on the rig site tend to nail the Filipino roomboy " cleaner "
not joking about the roomboy either that really does happen.
my best mate was at one of the land rigs and under the portacabins seen a pile of used rubbers that had been thrown underneath and the thing is there is not a woman in a 50 -100 mile radius LOL
