my 420-ish bhp v1 sti
few pics, im lookin for ideas to tidy the engine bay
esp the intake hose,
also a radiator shroud, but would they fit a larger alloy rad
also likes of a nice cover for the fan belt, ac belt
anything else that will genarally tidy things up neatly?
also fitting a set of gold revolution wheels when my tyres arrive in next few days, wheels are here

i do love the revolutions, but was doubtful on a silver car, was torn, really!
but i think im going to go with the revo's
maybe decide when on.
rotas will be for sale mate, only 6 mnths old, with maybe 3-4k miles, tyres good too, so it wont be a give-away mate, altho i would be reasonable,
and btw nice bay prodriver, yeah need to get some polished bits im thinking

steve the spoiler is a carbon one so wouldnt paint it,
tbh i think its the dark spoiler that makes the rotas look better, and also what would make the revolutions look a bit odd
think io could get away withem revos if i had a good quality silver spoilerr
but silver can be a **** to match aswell

v1/v2 castings are the same , v3/v4 head castings are different to the v1 and v2 as they have different inlet manifolds
