Default 03' STI blob - some of you might remember it!

Hi all, not posted on here in a while so I thought I'd come back with a few pics of my motor.
Car now resides in Northern Ireland and has done for the past 2 1/2 years.
Started life as a Subaru press car and was used for various press releases of the 'blobeye' and the PPP which was incedently fited @ Prodrive.

Most famous for its appearence on BBC's 'Top Gear' being driven by Jeremy Clarkson in a head - to - head with an evo 8. Was also driven by Clarkson in his dvd 'shootout'

I've owned BG52 for about 1 1/2 years now and basically done all the mods to the car from standard and picked up a couple of show wins along the way.
so just thought I'd share some pics of my pride and joy with the rest of the uk!

Heres some links to the car in former glory....

BBC - Top Gear - Episode Archive - Series 2

YouTube - Subaru STi vs EVO 8

YouTube - lancer evo 8 vs audi s4 vs subaru impresa sti

Here's how she looks now....











comments welcome!

as in trashed and raped etc by jezza and co?

Thankfully the scoob didnt suffer the same... thanks for the good feedback so far.
Thought about changing the wheels to something with a stainless lip - 'drift' stylee, but there's nothing that ive seen so far that will clear the brembo's and still go under the arches. anyone know of anything??
On another note the Kei speeds that are on aren't available anymore and I do like them! lol
