Trying to eliminate the pink STI badges on the exterior of my car, mud flaps, Fog light covers done a while ago, as were the front doors. This time it was to re-colour the grille badge and the rear badge, to a change of white.

Also a new addition are the number plates, rear is a standard size, front is a 3/4 size, I did have a real small plate for it but it didnt look right with the mounting plate behind it stuck out a 1 1/2" either side, so this one is a little bigger.


Overall I'm liking the change, makes it a little bit different from others.

Nice I like how about some white wheels to really finish it off?

I was thinking of doing the same with grey badges and dark wheels as seen on some black scoobies when I get the time/money, not to sure if it would look as good though

Nice I de-pinked mine within the first week

I removed/split and painted the front grille badge and replaced the boot badge.

These were hand painted. Started by spraying them all black, then I thought to hand brush the "STI" in white, but it didnt look too good, so I used a sponge sprayed white paint on it then layed the badge on top, gentley pressed, then it was just a case of repainting the parts the sponge missed. All a right parlava really for 2 badges , finally 4 coats of clear coat to seal.
Total time=x4nights, if I sold them i'd have to charge £100 per badge for labour alone .
Still you only do it once, and pleased with how they came out in the end.

Scoobyparts do sell these badges, but on a red background with chrome letters, and thats all i have found.

White wheels aye, its a thought. Do fancy new wheels soon, still like Gold to be honest, but white might be a very near possibitly. Good idea mate, thanks.

I hadnt intended to paint those!, no need I think, other wise I would have done them Pink .
Black wheels, not sure on, white maybe because of the theme im doing. Gold ok nothing goes with it bar the calipars, but gold wheels on a Subaru go hand in hand.
