Smile A few of my Steel Grey Classic

Finally.... heres a few of my steel grey classic, just had my P1 wheels fitted not so long ago and lowered

Running circa 320-330bhp - sound is awsome from the Vortex

I cant really think of anything else to do to it now styling wise, I think I've achieved the look I was going for without going ott for this particular scoob (maybe some Sti rear lights?) - any comments are welcome

My Fav colour also after white..

I take it it's a not an Sti V5/6 judging by the rear lights - Is it a late My98+ Wrx ?

I'd guess its a Turbo 2000 as the fog lights are in the rear clusters

The foglight can be wired into the cluster - Only lazy importers fit that big eye saw hanging from the rear bumper..

I'm sure the only Uk car produced in steel grey was the Rb5 - correct me if I'm wrong..

Hi Davey,

a common mod with STi rears is to convert the drivers side reversing light into the fog light - easily done, did mine a while ago and passed its MOT last week

Just need a red bulb - I bought a bright led bulb for it.

I bought one of these on recommendation:

1 xU38224R (382) 15mm Baynet 24 Red Led Single Contact Custom WA Ve

from:

Ultra Bright Leds and Led products at bargain prices with super fast delivery - by Ultra Leds U.K

Does the trick nicely

Now that is one very nice scoob matey, well done!!

I wouldnt do anything else, STi rears would be the only thing and would set it off perfect.

I love the colour and what you have done.

Looks like a late WRX, you can just make out the black/yellow trim.

Yes, apart from the indicator is the different type, as in on an angle instead of directly opposite (or other way around, can't remember?).

I couldn't be bothered to get the right one, so cut the holder off the jap loom and wired it into the UK one. Bodge is a good 'un

Thanks for all the nice comments all

Ya, its a MY99 WRX import - i hunted high and low for it as they seem to be rare the 276bhp models thankfully the effort paid off as its absolutely immaculate and only done 50k miles sensible engine mods too which have taken it up to 320-330, Andy F said it handles its current spec very nicely!

STi rears here we come then still cant believe how nice the colour is in the sun!

My biiiig decision at the moment is, do I fit a FMIC? or leave it as it is, hmmmm... decisions

Thanks again ya'll

Cheers Joe

Ya, forgot to mention, the rear fog conversion thing was all done / when it came to the UK as a new car - its only had 1 previous owner who imported it from new in 99!

The rear Subaru letters were added also when it came into the country as far as im aware, so that will most likely explain that one

Heres a pic of the car when I bought it last xmas time... i quite miss the subtle / stealthy look
