Still can't make up my mind on the shape.

Apparently, it looks better in the flesh.

I drove it before it was tweaked and had better wheels fitted Iain has certainly improved it

not sure on this new shape but then again i've only just started to like the bug eye v.7's hopefully this might push the v.9 JDM prices down a little for next year when i'm looking at getting one

Nope not liking it one bit should make some of the earlier models more popular.

Dirty bits on the dockside before delivery.

This is the same as the engine (when the cover is off) in my Legacy. But my Lagacy is 290 BHP out of the box.............cheers Litchfields

The intake manifold looks like it's made out of plastic, may be a problem when upping the boost.

The plastic manifold on my 330d cracked 3 weeks after I had a remap....

Also the end tanks on the intercooler (which looks smaller than the current WRX) also look plastic, can't be good.
