Yeah looks a good job mate, how long did it take? also how did you do it? someone told me that you have to wet the car before placing them onto the car and sqeeze out any air bubbles and let it dry?

Washed the whole car compleatly (its usually pretty good on the polish side of things anyhow so was pretty clean) let it dry off compleatly then I started with all the small ones first.
In a spray bottle I mixed a little jhonsons baby shampoo and water (aparently anything else reacts with the adhesive) spray the area where I wanted it to go and stick away.Once you place youre lettering/sticker to the car the water and shampoo mix prevents it from sticking on contacts so its alot easier to move around to get exactly into place.A quick scan on the internet for a 2001 wrc pic made sure I was fitting things in the right areas and a ruler and white board marker made sure they went on straight.
Happy days.
All in all I took my time with it and I didnt rush one bit.It took me a friday night and over the weekend to completly finish.

The wheels are Revolution Millenium Rally wheels.Cost a bit more than you're average standard road wheels as they are a compertition wheel but Im sure all will agree they do suit rather well.
I had it on 18" team Dynamics Monza R's (as seen in one pic) but pot holes in my area and a certain trip round a Jim Clark stage proved that they were a bit on the flimsey side.Didnt want a repeat performance on putting flats in my nice wheels (I like to think I look after them) I decided to go for something a bit more BEEFY! They were very noticable before I fitted them to the car how much more strength they had in them and felt lighter than the monzas.

Benjikwrx. . . The car is running on Tein set up and yes I think Brembos do fit under the 18". . . .well they have never caught on them so far in the past 6 months. :-)
Front lip is from a mates garage who deals with alot of bumpers. . . . I had a pick through the biggest heap of bumpers and trims till I found one to suit.So I have no idea what its off.

Im not sure Phil739. I had a dam good go at getting hold of a lamp pod to sit pretty on the bonnet but someone else has got to it first :-(.
I would also like to know were you can find one of them camera roof pods too.
tiny. . . . Dont suppose you would like to share any info on where you got youre bonnet pod from would you? Like the idea of the two centre lights sitting a bit lower so it doesnt interupt airflow to the intercooler.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
