Default Got my car back from the painters

After 2 years building my sti ra from a bare shell finally it looks like a car again. Anyway the painters did an amazing job, the pics don't do it any justice.

I had it painted in Jaguar polaris white, what do you think?



Still got several things to do like change wheels, sti rear lights, and have the coilovers/alignment setup.

Thanks.

As above, wheels are all wrong. Other than that though chap she's stunning.
Have you considered a set of black crystal headlights and sides, would finish the front end off a treat.

Thank you all for the comments, They're much appreciated. I really like the rota grid wheels, but need to see what will fit under the arches. Wasn't keen on wider arches as I wanted to keep the original shape and lines.

I did have the arches rolled on the rear to allow for a slightly wider wheel though.

Here's a pic from the rear, cannot wait to bin the tango lights.


Thanks again.

Haha it felt like a crime to paint the carbon fibre. Might get the original panels painted one day though.

Very nice buddy I did see a spray job the other day that had the body colour spayed over the carbon so you could still slightly see the carbon weave thorugh it. Looked vey nice.
