De-tango as per my thread earlier today (although it cost £13 for bulbs). Otherwise the rear-light swap over (see same thread).

Does the poor-man's short shift really make a diff?

Best free mod, deffo debadging.

The rear lOOks less cluttered and meaner. Now you can lOOk at it without trying to read it.

It just says STi

Thats the only bit I did take off!!!

I think it looks a bit too much without anything although I may take off the WRX to just leave STI and type UK in the future

What did you cut it down with? I thought about this as with the sparco aftermarket gear **** it feels like first gear is out the window... lol

Surely the hacksaw took longer than 5 mins to get through that thickness?
