My STi2, all ready for JapShow!
There's still plenty of things that I wanted to get done in the first part of this year in terms of getting the old girl tidied up properly, but a few issues raised their heads that needed sorting before I could start doing too much to the aesthetics.....so I've just done my best and got her as clean as possible. I think shes about ready for JapShow next weekend at the Pod now, and will be on the ImprezaSport.net stand if anybody fancies coming along to say hello 
All opinions good or bad welcome, also these are the first proper photos I've taken since I've had the JDM plates, they've been sat under the kitchen table doing nowt for the past 2 months!

Getting there mate, but there seems to be a few places where you may want to concentrate? the rear spats are peeling, and the side skirts look like thay have taken a beating from your boots at some point
The front and rear bumpers seem to be a slightly different colour? or is it just the light in the pics?
the bodywork and interior is very nice

nice to see someone taking the time to clean the door shuts etc. i've got to get mine ready for the sunday. only a little list:
clean underside bonnet,
detail engine bay,
strip interior
fit harnesses
fit strut braces
change induction kit
fit mudflaps
remove spoiler / fill holes and blend in
detail outside of car

Also the rear bumper has faded pretty badly over time, and there are some rather unpleasant scuffs on the front 
(which weren't my doing) Still, Rome wasn't built in a day! 
Bodywork-wise, all I want is a v3 front splitter and a nice fresh coat of Feather White and I'll be happy!
Mneame - Have you booked the week off to do that lot?

nope 
have to do it bit by bit when i get home from work each night and hope that the weather holds out as i don't have a garage.
i get the feeling saturday is going to be a busy day! i just don't know where to start.
i'll be on the type ra stand by the strip pits, so anyone going pop over and say hello. you'll know which car is mine. has my snet username in the back windows and probably the only red type ra on the stand.

Tell me about it my friend, as I said there are still plenty of things I want to get done with the old girl! The skirts and rear spats were colour coded before the car was imported and are possibly the worst colour match I have ever seen, and admittedly the splashguards were painted by me....hence why they look crap Also the rear bumper has faded pretty badly over time, and there are some rather unpleasant scuffs on the front (which weren't my doing) Still, Rome wasn't built in a day!

Thanks for the comments everyone! It doesn't like quite as clean now though after only 4 days use.....think it will need a bit more spit and polish by the time I get to Santa Pod tomorrow aswell!

I have just cleaned, polished and waxed mine, I even when the whole hog and polished the door shuts in and around the hinges. Polished the windows and the exhaust. I also took the wheels off and wash and re sealed them again with PB wheel sealant.
