Don't know it but looks OK, though a few other mods than just exhaust and bonnet, obviously the wheels, headlights, vortex spoiler thing aren't standard, and the red and yellow brakes are just scary lol, and it's missing a centre cap ;-) Just give it a thorough look over..

it looks much better when in the video though, nice wheels, original bonnet etc.. that would be a decent spec to get it back to! Seems odd that someone would swap an STi for a Saab Turbo.. just be very cautious, make sure you get a good run in it/check all levels blah blah

Is it me or are they single pot rear calipers?

Wouldn't a V5 Sti have had 2 pot rears, or is it just the way they've been painted?
