Default A clean and some decent pictures....

Well got up early today to give the car a good clean. Then took the car over to a friend who is a keen photographer, think he did a great job and they came out really well .
What do you think ?, any comments welcome as always.


























Well worth the hard work.
Wish i was clever enough to do that photoshopping thing with the engine shots, pretty cool

Thanks for all the great comments chaps, makes the effort all worth while. I'll enjoy it now as it'll probably blow up at the pod next Sunday

Matt, the effort was worth it.

Keep waxing when you wash her and applying wheel wax too, the dirt and grime will come off so much easier and protect your paint. Polishing is only really necessary every few months, it's the sealant/wax which is a more regular thing.

The Subaru is a credit to you chap

Cheers dude, will shelf the polish for a while then and stick with the wax.

Did you manage to find an angled exit exhaust, I'm still on the hunt.

Yes

Swapped a Cobra one on here with a member for my straight exit one. Took to to them in Sheffield as it didn't sit right with being off a newage. New pipework later and it looks fantastic. 3" pipework and 4" tailpipe so not obscenely loud.

You know what? I've not taken a single photo of my current Impreza even though I've owned it 13 months

Disgraceful

Nice, a A-lip spoiler would finish it off IMO. But very nice all the same

Nice work Matt.

With the white paintwork give the Werkstat Acrylic Kit a look. Gives amazing finish on light colours

Aero catches have been on a while, not sure they were when you last saw it though. Fitted them myself, was a bit nerve racking cutting the bonnet but measure twice and cut once as they say

It's not difficult mate - as Matty said it's all about getting through that initial moment of doubt as you make the first cut. My next job is a small matter of an extra bonnet vent
