Auto glass replaced the windscreen yesterday so a nice new glass in can't beat it
Glass out
New one fitted
Bought some new silicone wipers from alyn@ASperformance should be here Tuesday
Ok so today after still recovering from last nights beer thought I'd have a go at a job that's been bugging me for a while now. The horns were looking pretty tatty and the pink all faded so decided to go for the stealth look an spray them black
Faded horns
In the process of painting
And fitted
Grill back on
Just need to source a black grill badge and take the decals off the fog covers

When I had my screen changedy glass guy saved my trim
We have had two autoglass jobs recently were they have taken a screen out to find rust underneath, then refused to put a new glass in lol
We've had to de rust, treat and paint before they would fit it. Lol

Centres were ok Jon, your reds go with the colour of your car mine wouldt look right with red I think. Black does look discreet now

I had mine apart last week to polish them, but the black bits are looking a touch shabby. I'll repaint mine, but I'm going to get some fancy bolts

Prefer it without. It's not an STI, but a tastefully modded WRX.

That's what I though mate. It's not an Sti I just liked a bit of pink on black
once the badge is changed it'll be a lot more subtle

I prefer it with, just looks a bit bland without and with so much black it needs to be broken up, how about painting the supertones pink

Suppose I could send the horns to Ry to go back to pink
As Frayz said its not a Sti so not sure it looks right. Think ill replace the badge then see how it looks and if I don't like it then add some colour back in
Just been out n took another pic to convince myself
