Way they should've been made in the first place !

Was a little skeptical back when you first mentioned, but have to agree with others so far...looking good.

Funny that so many silver cars receive the name "silver bullet", was same for my Civic Type-R, sold it to friends wife who call it Rhonda (as in Rhonda The Honda) ! Mind you my wife now calls my car Ruby (as in Ruby The Scooby) ! Bottom line Cal, good to see you still with an Impreza. Might have been £5k spent on the last one but you had fun doing it (keep trying to convince myself of the same!!), look at all your adventures, not to mention the informative write up's.

Still £210 on Saturday for me and my wee newage WRX. That's it for another year...perhaps they'll actually make the roads round here useable - not holding my breath over that one !

Nice set of cars and bikes (well one of the bikes, can't see the "L" plate one too well).

Welcome. Also a Lanarkshire member, South side. Enjoy your stay, and get some pics up of your car.

Dedication in the hunt for perfection when you take the spoiler off ! Good work though.

Good find. If it's correct, doesn't feel quite as bad. Come October, wait till the fuel costs go up and then I'll re-try it.

Healthy to have a good moan. Dare we even hint at enjoying ourselves, cars / drink (be safe kids and enjoy those two separately), and it's taxed. I think they feared a revolt if petrol went up again, although it is an easy tax for them as we need it...take pulblic transport, not as easy as it sounds if you live in a rural area, I'd have to take 2 buses and a train adding about 1.5 hours on to my commute each way if I tried and that's if they are on time / turn up. Here's a thought : commission an independent (at huge cost of course) look in to more closely the spending of MP's. Yes they've had a lot of bad press lately but it highlights the fact that the way they receive money, outwith their salary, really has been set up, by themselves I understand, to be taken advantage of. Some of the written stories are unbelievable. Only way they are ever going to listen is with our vote when the time finally comes round.

Have you had a scan through Subaru picture websites for inspiration ? Something like e.g. scoobyphotos.com If remember right there is a graphics section in there to narrow the search down ~(was a while ago I looked though).

Temptation is going to be too much for you Cal !!! May be just the exhaust...oh and an air filter...and so it begins !

I've got a Porter Cable and have just built up confidence as gone along. If you buy a machine, as noted Polished Bliss give good advice and sell one, then start off with least abrasive polish you can until the marks are out. As a test of the paint gently run your finger nail over the scratch and if it catches in the mark(s) might not polish out, although polishing might help mask it a little. I have a black car which is one of the reasons I got a bit in to the whole cleaning thing, marks show up more. Finish is superb by machine though - hard work still but it's tougher by hand.

Mmm, somethings just not quite right, might be the claw marks, perhaps a bit much up the side??

Looks good Cal. Good news you're staying with a Subaru. Might have missed it but how's about a light tint on the back windows ? I'll give you till July before the mods start appearing !!

Lets just hope that the film goes back to being a bit better than the 3rd one !

Are Subaru Impreza WRX STi HID xenon headlights different from what a Subaru Impreza WRX STi normally has ?

Pink STi fog cover decals off - new silver/grey decals now on. Thanks for the prompt making/sending of them Scuzz, good price also. One things for sure, I won't become a car graphics fitter !! Started raining about 15mins after I fitted them, first washing test won't be till the weekend.

Scuzz-make some room in your inbox, info on it's way

Going to be adding a few little subtle decals to my car. Where are the advised places to look - shops/websites/etc ?

Well put together John (although you just starred in it, not edited it). Do you ever take those sungalsses off !? Recognised the EK expressway in there. Good to see something a little different.

Reckon there might be a few people interested in this outcome from Meercat, myself included. Looked in to sportcats DP a while back but everything seemed expensive (never tried Meercat though), especially when you add on fitting and then a remap. Mind you, who every thought improving an Impreza would be cheap !!

Similar toy you, WRX/Black/STi spoiler. Mesh grill kit on front though as a pointer to it being me.

Keeping an eye out for your car whenever I'm in Hamilton Gordon, not sure if the new look makes it easier to notice though, kinda blends in with the road too well !

What would the cost be to buy the prodrive springs from Subaru, and have whoever is setting up the geometry fit them at the same time, if possible ? Just a thought, or do Subaru have to fit them ?

Quite a few head towards Gary Moulson (0208 6427868 / 02083291167 / 02082880275 ) at Keith Michaels - although he is on holiday till Monday 25th Feb believe. Not always easy to get a hold of but quite a few Subaru owners do rave about the quotes. Tell them about all the mods. I moved from Admiral to them end of last year, beat renewal quote by over £100.
