C_WRX

Doe, a deer, a female deer ?

I saw it a couple of weeks ago, come to mention it might have still had the ribbon on it

I thought I'd heard in 2010 it doubled again? Is that rubbish...really hope so, £400 too high as is !! Really though, a green tax, don't mind doing my bit for the planet an all but £400 a year !!!

Yes, well blobeye anyway. Pull out the white bracket just slightly (it has a lip that sits in the the screw hole area)...then a case of being careful but brave till it shifts, it may take a bit of effort but it does move. If it's your first time leave plenty of time for removal and detangoing.

Sounds nice. Although "new to Subaru", doesn't sound like it from the nice choice of mods . Get the pics up then, give us a look ! Oh, and welcome.

Aye, no bad at all. Wee scratch on the back bumper there ? Nice car also.

Don't forget the SIDC discount !?

Will try anyway, feel misled to what I should have been entitled too, as it is £400 (answers your question too).

Get the violins at the ready, sob story on its way... Bought my WRX back in October 2006. It came from a Subaru dealer and had not long had its 2nd service. When i bought it there was either no discussion or the salesperson said it was not with the car of there being the 3years /36k free servicing. Now I understand this offer continues on with the car. Happened to be looking through the service book and there is a note of 3 years free servicing. Had I noticed this back in September 2007 when it had its 3 years service (different Subaru dealer) I'd have brought it up, but not thinking I had the free cover I paid for the work - and the 3 year one ain't cheap. Chances on me getting any / all of this money back ? Couldn't get anyone from Subaru on the phone today, will try again tomorrow. Anyone had similar situation ?

Ouch . As said by all, glad you got out okay. Maybe with a bucket, mitt, car wash and some elbow grease it'd come up.....eh, maybe not !

The nice weather is bringing everyone out on vehicle cleaning duties...and excellent example of two very nice machines all sparkled up. Oh I miss having a bike, been banned by the Mrs (for my own sake I've been told!!).

Lovely job. Would've been interesting to see the before pics - or were you too embarrassed as to how dirty is was ??

I have the same year car and with discs being warped last year I gave asperformance a call (Alyn) and he said for next step up from OEM discs and pads was just to stick with OEM discs and get performance pads. Narrowed it down to 2 types of pads (well that he supplied anyway) both being similar in ability, ending up with Pagids. Good braking ability with an instant feel improvement but finding bit messy on the alloys. I'd say that what I did is really only next step up from OEM but do notice a difference.

Much appreciated and good answer. Adds to what I (and others I'm sure) thought. Cheers.

So your drive about yesterday was more enjoyable ? (you mentioned no chance day fitted and you had time off yesterday!)

I have a basic understanding of what each item does, so I'll be the one to ask for those that are thinking it : If someone would be so kind could you detail what each items purpose is, and going from least to all being done what is the suggested fitment order ? Things like "no point getting something done without something else being done at the same time" or "can get rear but not at same time necessary for front" would be great info. Thinking road use, track perhaps a little much. Anti-Roll Bar front & rear. Drop links front & rear. Anti-Lift Kit. Fast road geometry settings. Lowering springs. Anything else I may have missed.

Really like those Oz wheels. Will keep an eye out for you now.

Mmmm, nice, both of them.

Nice work, lookin good. Tiling or polish the car....tiling or polish the car.....wasn't too difficult to decide on. When the weathers good who wants to be stuck inside anyway !!

Nice to see everyone putting the effort in keeping their chariots clean - better drier weather helps. As soon as I get the new house in order I'm going to join in the cleanfest and get the pc out to remove the winters scratches and swirls from my own.

Reckon just leaving it out in the rain would help !

Very nice indeed, engine looks lovely. Nearly sold....good idea not selling it !

NKWRX - Car is looking good, liking the grill set and the alloys go well on it. Shame the bits you're getting done can't be seen though but sure the drive will be a lot better !! Using a wash mitt doesn't make you look gay, unless of course the one you have is pink and you have a pair of colour matching marigolds on !! Honest though, a lambswool mitt and a good quality car wash liquid and it's actually easier to wash the car not to mention the all important reduction in scratching/swirls. Since I started getting in to the detailing thing I've now got the rest of my family using the same products as me to wash their cars cause they all agree from trying it out that it is so much easier and better for the car.

Think I've seen the detailed pics of the wagon before...still looks good. You also were in the process of building up brownie points with your family members doing their cars too if I recall. Hello and welcome to here.

Very nice indeed
