As said above, love the car, but hate the alloys. A set of OEM 16" would look better than those awful things. Sorry. Just my 2p's worth.

genuine sti v4 with dccd
wheels were on the car when i bought it, not my first choice but there one of the very few 18" alloys i've found that dont wreck the handling.
most of the type-r's are white, very few genuine yellow ones left. (search google, i cant even find picture of one)

Its missing the sti wing badges....would be worth tracking some down i reckon.....u know there are some Autoart models of your exact car on a well known auction site.......

I have the original brochure scans of your car somewhere.........if i can find them i,ll post them up.

Unless the turbo has been changed, it won't have 330bhp at the wheels! Flywheel, maybe.

Very nice though.
