FurballPhil Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 (edited) Well, my car is under way for getting a her new lease of life... Was down at Andy Forrest on Monday having a much needed Re-Map - All Good, 100% better performance and drivability now Now booked in for some body work jobs 27th June... Having My front bumper`s crack repaired and re-sprayed, also having my Number Plate Moulded into the drivers side fog lamp area. (I have no fog lamps anyway), got a fog lamp cover for the other side which is being re-sprayed too... I do have a wee choice to think about...... I have new STi Corner Spats for the skirts.. Do I Have them sprayed and fitted, or do I go for a bodykit strip.... Side skirts off, My High level boot spoiler taken off, then have the holes filled, smoothed and become spoilerless and skirtless..... I Kinda fancy the idea of taking my Type-RA Back to it`s roots of how she should originally have looked...... As it`s a Version 1 Type-RA and a very Rare Red One, I`m thinking this is the way to go.... Then, it`s a few wee jobs ready for her MOT in September Edited June 8, 2011 by FurballPhil

RA Dunk Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 Looking forward to the results, get some pics up when it's finished.
sti pretender Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 If you want get any tips for an original car have a look at Gus's one of the best V1 RA's around. http://forums.sidc.co.uk/garage/vehicle/198-subaru-type-r/page__tab__images

Yep, it`s a very nice one indeed.. Version 1 Type-RA`s are getting few and far between now, so a good clean one is always special to see But I`m thinking of taking mine back to the no side skirts, no boot spoiler look of how they originally left Subaru
marko72 Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 (edited) Spoilerless can look good IMO. Not sure about about the side skirts. I dont know how that would look but worth trying it out to see. Either way will be good to see the pics up when your done. Edited June 9, 2011 by marko72
paul555sti Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 Phil do a search over on scoobynet for T5OLF he had a lovely red one with White wheels! It was almost exactly as you describe with no spoiler etc.

That`s The Way I`m Looking To Go.... That`s A Stunning Version 1... They Are So Rare In Red Early Type-RA`s do look good without the frills. This Is Mine As She Is Right Now, She`s No Rust, So A Good Starting Block Edited June 9, 2011 by FurballPhil
gus the bus Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Great to see there are other good clean examples around I think the lack of side skirts on the red one in S:Net looks good but dont think I could be bothered with the hassle of trying to go back the way Not into the spoilerless look I'm afraid, they are there for a reason
FurballPhil Posted July 3, 2011 Author Posted July 3, 2011 Just got my Scooby Back from having Body and Paint jobs done.. Very Pleased with the outcome... Need to get some Clear Front Indicators Now
