You took one step forward by taking the stickers off..... but then two steps back by spraying the wheels a horrible colour. Each to their own but to me it really does cheapen the look of the car.

i also left the sport stickers on for a reason, because its not a turbo and im not trying to fool anyone into.thinking otherwise. as it my first car i think its great fun and atm its plenty quick enough for me untill i can afford something bigger and faster. but right now at this moment i love it.

Dont worry mate as long as you enjoy her some of these idiots on here tubbytommy more than some are just out to insult people,not on here to answer your questions that you've originally asked,just want to tell you how crap your car is! If you 'dont own an sti' you cant be in there gang (cause thats how it seems) dont worry about them lot,they are probably confusing subarus sti with the one they caught of their mrs!! There are plenty of other people on here that are decent
