Spoiler Raising things doesn't look as kak as I thought it might, quite like it now, nice one.

A loverly car

TSL Paint job on the Morrettes looks great here it is on my Silver MY01



I Love the Carbon fibre interior. Is that Nitro's stuff? How much

Not sure about the spoiler but its certainly better than the original mounting

Car looks great. Dont the morettes make one hell of a difference to the overall look. Also the standard wheels look good to me, especialy with the dark blue. very nice

Thanks Folks!!!

Rear spoiler has gotta be a bargain for what you pay - certainly different,
although i dare say id rather have a big fat WRC stylee See TSL for details...

Carbon Dash is Subaru part (£269.99). I like it and actually prefer it to the NITO
stuff (which is good cause NITO didnt do it when i had the subaru stuff fitted ) as its a lot greyer
than the NITO stuff which suites my grey leather interior better (IMHO)

Gear **** is a momo cobra carbon (£40 ish from Halfords!!) and the carbon handbrake is another
subaru part (dont ask how much - it seemed ok when i was forking out for the car.....)

Quickshift isnt a neccessity at all - not much difference to standard MY01 to be honest. Better to spend money
on say morettes... and get at a later date. Saying that it is better tho and i like it!!

Its a UK car (ouch £££££!s)

Breaks are on the list (damn thats another £1500 ive gotta save!!!) just forgot. I'll probably go the
TSL group N or Godspeed kit as im not a good enough driver to warrent the Brembo/AP kit!!!

Morettes do finish it all off nicely. They should have sold the car with them as standard. No one would have moaned about the looks then IMHO. I even went for the "Blue" indicator bulbs that glow orange (bleedin Trouser!!) . Ive got some Osram bulbs fitted to the dip - well worth it. You get a nice Rainbow on the road signs due to the prism effect from them

Look forward to more DBM pics from you all....

Question

[Sorry to hijack, just a quick Q]

Trouser, do you do spoiler raisers for the 'classic' low level spoiler ?

steve,

no it looks fine, unless you have massaged your gator to soften it up!it will be stiff enough to support itself just below the ****.

Tiggs

also chewing the gator is likley to soften it up as well (like indians use to with buffalo leather.

Stephen,

You just find the right rubber thing, then just wedge it on best you can - it stays (almost) still... you cant use the little screws... until you buy the quickshift then it fits as normal !!!!

My one always stays up!

Read in a post a few weeks ago that some people wrap a bit of tape round just below the **** and then squeeze the gator top above the tape. The finished job apparently looks very professional.

Cheers Anthony...

So you just need a bit of tape round your **** and then squeeze your gator and it will stay up!!

Must mention that to my other half....
