Default styling thoughts

i took this photo last week after a polish,
im going for a subtle styling look on my car as im not a fan of large spoilers stickers etc.
it has recently had coilovers fitted to get the ride height nice and had some ap brakes fitted this weekend (after pic was taken) .
i have fitted a diffuser,splitter and roof vane i also have a genuine spec c roof vent in the garage.
would the vent be too much or enhance the look?
any thoughts welcome as i cant decide as this was my final mod to do cosmetic wise.

Personal opinion is that its spot on... think a roofy would be overkill...

yep your exactly right,im at the enough point i think but just after others opinions.

yes the brakes are for track days, i have had coilovers antilift kit and whiteline arbs and cdf drop links fitted, i have ap on the front now and some rears fitted soon.

im looking to run 400ish bhp later this year as i have an sc46 turbo to be fitted and a few other engine mods and fmic

If you didn't have the roof spoiler then I'd get the roof vent fitted, but it would now look over fussy with a vent fitted plus the roof spoiler.

Plus no point trying to make an STi into a Spec C.

^^ (only joking by the way) ^^

I like it how it is, I wouldn't fit the vent, I would sell it to me instead :-)

yes i was kind of thinking the vent would be too much, oh well its brand new so worth a few quid and will be up for sale soon, along with some brembos.
