STi Spec-D (Couple of wee mods...)

[RS Grant]

...but think they've made a massive difference to the look of the car, I was a little unsure of going Bronze after I couldnt find any pics of Crystal Grey cars with Bronze Wheels. I'm very happy with the look that the wheels have given me and like the fact I didn't go for the more tried and tested route of Anthracite which I was close to doing.. []

**There are quite a few pics here, 56k might take a wee while.....**

Here are a couple of pics of how the car was when I got it a month(ish) ago:

...and here are the updated pics which were taken tonight:

Looks very nice Grant. I bet you got a hell of a noise off that exhuast in the car park too. Same backbox as mine but I'm running the miltek centre section, and the full decat too obviously. I set a couple of alarms off in one of the multi-storey car parks in Glasgow with it. Teeheehee.

[gus the bus]

Grant very "chunky" looking indeed mega mate, mega[Y] the mods suit the car perfectly and the wheels are a perfect colour.

Nice work

Thanks a lot for the comments, its a great drive, the 2.5 engine is soooo nice... overfuelling like a biach according to the Rolling Road results, but still made a fair bit more power than the book figures. Reading a Jap Performance Mag feature showed an '06 STi with a few basic mods making c350bhp and c410lb/ft after a re-map, which would liven things up a bit!! []

I love the look of the car now, wasn't sure what peeps would think, never really seen Bronze wheels being used before... but never know, maybe I've inspired some people!! []

The exhaust sounded great in the Multi-Storey.. and I must confess to giving it a wee blip or three on my way up to the empty floors. Well spotted Bandit, its where I took pics of my Grey Celica too, the lighting is great, really shows off reflections and lines of the car well. [H]

Cheers,

Grant

Very nice Grant, was looking good on Saturday, apart from the Seagull's autograph !!

[scoobyiain]

seagulls autograph? i must have missed that one. noticed cal's car getting the works. your car was looking sweet on sat grant, sorry i never introduced myself but was not myself due to hangover most of the day

[oobster]

Looking superb Grant [Y]

Wheels definitely suit the colour of the car. 

[Chris.Mcd]

Looking good grant, like I said on another forum lol.

 

off topic- I pm you few days ago,did you get it?
 

[fai17]

My fav[Y]

I'm really liking the spec D now and wished i got one of them at that price...

[frank c]

Very nice Grant, loving the colour.

One thing though...are the rear chavy lights replaceable ?

[RS Grant]

Thanks Peter, your car isn't exactly a poor option to a Spec D mate... [][H]

Chris, I'll go have a look mate.

Frank, hahaha, aye.. that was my initial thoughts, but they're growing on me (slowly)... the only option I've got is to chuck on some MY03-MY05 rear lights, sure you can get aftermarket ones, but they're probably even more chavvy than the stock ones. []

Cheers,

Grant

[dan_jess]

Are u keeping the stealthy look or going to get a bigger spoiler on the back?

[RS Grant]

Keeping the stealthy look mate... thats what the Spec-D is all about. [H]

Although, if I do change the spoiler, it's going to be one of two options.. a UK300 style Prodrive Rear Spoiler, if one comes up cheapy cheap then I'll probably buy it.. or, I'm also thinking about getting a small rear lip spoiler fitted but I'm not 100% on that look yet. []

Cheers,

Grant

[~ ~ Cal ~~]

Man I love those rims ...........reminds me of the clean looking US cars that you see on NASIOC.....

I think the low spoiler looks pimp daddy ......I like the big STi spoilers too but sometimes less is more (IMHO)

Power-wise , be content with what its making just now. You'll only end up spoiling it and besides I'll buy it off you in a couple of years [Y]

Enjoy ya lucky dawg !

Cal

p.s did I mention that I love those rims !!

[oobster]

Small rear lip spoiler would look superb Grant [Y]

Especially with one of those rear roof spoilers 

[dan_jess]

Good choice, i think it looks good the way it is [Y]

[frank c]

Cal, i think Grant will break some kind of personal record if he keeps it for a couple of years lol..[]

Going by his signature anyway. []
