I know the very well, one of the nicest I've seen and very well looked after in Ian's owership. The Speedlines that are now on it came off my V3 STI when I imported it. If I had not bought a new age STI a couple of months prior I certainly would of considered buying it myself to tuck away

Car looks great, I'm also a fan of the original orange indicators.
not sure on the orange side lights though, have you wired them up to flash with the indicators or just stay on when the lights are on ??

This is one tidy RA
I'm going back to the stock orange side&front bumper indicators but not keen on the orange sidelights. Also were the front fog lights an option on the RA?

Interesting,I have the same year&version mine doesn't have fog lights.
I might look into fitting them if it rolled out of the factory with them as standard

I want mine looking as standard as possible,I wouldn't have thought someone would have removed the fog lights but they must have if they're standard on the V3.
I only have the one pic atm and it's not the greatest. I just need a decent camera and location plus fit my orange indicators then I can post up some decent pics

Looking forward to seeing your reviews with these fitted. I've been toying with the same idea recently.

I'm going to wait and see how the op gets on with them. I've had a couple pals use them in the past and complain about ride height that's all. They used 18" wheels though so hopefully with 17 's he'll get on fine. I have the same wheels as the op so it'll be an ideal opportunity for me to see how he goes.
