Got be big wheels for looks. Suspension and brake upgrades for performance.

BTW, I'd remove the graphics

Hi Phil,

Agree with Ozzy on the wheels (19's, gotta keep up with Steve ) and suspension (we could convoy down to Powerstation when I go for mine, when CG says I can ). What about an STi8 scoop ?

CB.

PS. Glad you've lost the rear valance, just didn't work IMHO. Still like the sills though.

I've already had the suspension changed when I bought the car
but probably could do with the alignment checking
side exit exhaust
I actually like the OE wheels , but agree bigger would look nicer.
Yes please Chrissy , just let me know whens a good time for me to come down. I'm not working Thurs or Fri this week if thats anygood to you

Cheers

Bigger brakes
Rear droplinks and whiteline rear anti roll bar (My next mod actually)
18in PFF7's would go nice on that
STi7 bonnet scoop (Makes the front end look meaner)
Bigger intercooler maybe?
Ecutek? (If you ain't had it done already)

What front lip are you considering getting? (Want one for mine and like the UK300 one but don't wanna pay that kinda money for a subtle difference if you get my meaning!)

Good luck and remember,the car's probably worth more to you than it is to somebody else....

as said before, the suspension has been done (35mm lower) .

EcuTek is on the cards for this year along with a new front lip.

Phil, Anthracite 18" wheels look lovely on silver scoobs, will compliment the colour of the stickers also. Wouldnt go 19's if I was you, when i put my 17"s back on the car handled so much better!

Then.....

Bigger Turbo, Bigger Brakes, FMIC, STi Fuel Injectors, Uprated Fuel Pump, GEMS ECU, MRT Fuel Rails, STi 7/8 Scoop, Carbon bonnet, Tinted Windows, STi interior.

Echo what Conrad says about the carbon bonnet. I don't normally like them but something tells me that it would suit your car. Have a word with Scott Lowe as he's now doing carbon bonnets and STi8 scoops. Might need a part carbon rear wing to balance the look

Don't agree with the anthracite bit tho' and all those under bonnet bits sound brilliantly expensive

agreed mate, I hate the look of dark wheels, reminds me of my cavalier 15 years ago when I couldn't afford new plastic wheel trims

I think Conrad is on a sales pitch but he does have some nice stuff, and he's determined to make an awesome car... BTW Conrad, if I can help in anyway with collections, extra pair of hands etc, just ask (just dont ask me to remorgage to buy all your bits)

I decided to keep the car ( or should I say I was bullied in to it) for at least another year, as she wants a BMW X3 or similar. I did drive a Noble M12 the other week and I was pretty much sold, but her in doors occasionally has to be obeyed

I did think about the carbon bonnet before , when Fulham was selling his, but it seemed a lot of money for not much back.. a bit like road tax & insurance.

C.Ya at the brickworks at 5:50 tomorrow night Dave
