My fav is the top one (white) as i think the whole front end looks more together. Anyway come on and give me your opinions, don[/img]get though my car is WR Blue and not White.

IMO, I think that it makes the ugly car nicer to look at.

yeah, i've got some 19's on order (super leggera's) although i'm starting to think that they'll never turn up so may cancel my order for something else.

Anyway more opinions pls.

The wheels on the white car are obviously STI wheels, but the wheels on the silver one look like Rays.

The silver cars looks too much like an afterthought. Everything seems to be just stuck on, resembles the remarks "cover your car in glue and ram raid Halfords!"

The white one looks very nice, but I only like the front bumper and the skirts. The detailing on the front wings look like an afterthought to give it some interest and the rear wing looks far too big! (Almost roof height!! )

I vote for the white one, but only the bumper (which looks like it's ready to take a front mounted intercooler ) and the skirts! I can't comment on the rear bumper as I haven't seen it!

nice one, the white one is winning then......more pls.
Hopefully it'll look good on 19's, better in fact than on the standard old sti rims as per the pic.

That Orciari kit looks absolutey snooze factor 10 compared to the white one, to be honest it looks hardly any different, theres subtle and then theres no difference at all.

come on more opinions pls...............actually if theres enough interest I'll approach them about a group buy, as it is I can get the whole kit (exc. the daft high rear spoiler) for about £650, u get the whole front assembly (it's a one piece bumper), side skirts and whole rear assembly (again one piece), plus the little side grills below the wing mirrors.

I prefer the front of the white one, but prefer the side sills on the silver one. The Advan RG's on the silver one look very though.
