Not really, you will get some come along and say change the spoiler but from the pic, it looks like it suits it, but hard to tell really until seeing it in the flesh,but apart from that,looks a nice combination of colour, maybe add some mudflaps but it doesnt need much doing to it style wise

Just changed the spoiler from one that was basically for decoration. In the flesh, it looks pretty good! The carbon fibre spoiler is rigid and adjustable, so will hopefully help a bit on track days! Will look into mudflaps and some new alloys and tyres will be on their way, soon.

Thanks, pretty standard 2.0 turbo, just uprated head gasket. Only boosting to 16 psi, but that is ok for the moment as haven't yet upgraded to brembo calipers or a six speed box. They are next on the list!

Ok I was half thinking wider arches and hub extensions in the future, so I can put wider tyres on. Or would you stick with normal width tyres for the track but get some Toyo R1Rs?

6 speed is bullet proof.

Having had another look at the style of the car, it may well get away with the larger scoop in black.

And what wing is that and how much.

I will have a look around for one and see what I think, size wise.

It's a 1600mm universal, 3 adjustment, carbon fibre spoiler from Drift Works. It was about £300. nearly as wide as the wing mirrors lol

That's the boy. Sti 8 rep. Not to many people's taste but if u like it go for it. Plenty people on here like to tell you how 'you' should style your car. The whole dump valve thing proves that. They be along soon a guess. Haha

LMAO The dump valve on mine has a Whooosh sound. Personally, I like it like that. I will have a think about the scoop. My main aim next is calipers, tyres, rims and gearbox upgrade.

It's funny how they call u a chav for having a dump valve but their are people with cars covered head to toe in stickers. It's acceptable on a scooby but if a corsa past in the street stickers up they would be chavs. Haha. Do what u want its your car
