Bit of an update... 

 

Finally colour coded my grille and got a standard blue rear emblem to replace the black one. I also got some RAYS Avanti's in 17x7+42 off Mark with some oxidization under the clear coat, they came with a polished finish, so I painted them in duplicolour gun metal and fitted some potenza re050s.

 

I did like the rims, but decided I wanted to go bigger/wider so I've sold them and got some 18x8.5 +44 rota gravels

(sorry Mark haha) on the way as I couldn't say no for the $$$

I'll be getting some new Yokohama AR01s fitted and keeping them till.... I get bored

Advice:

 

I bought STi twin tip mufflers for my Foz and now am having to alter the rear bar to get them to fit, so unless you find good twin tip mufflers that you NEED to have, consider just going single tip or oval.

 

I'm stubborn so am fitting mine.

I've got twin tip mufflers on my wagon and have no issues whatsoever. I believe the sedan and wagon have the same amount of space where the tips hang so you should be fine MertS.


Wanting to buy/looking for: single genuine STi rim, genuine STi front lip, Corazon or Zero/Sports grille and another OEM grille

Can you hook a brother up? Please contact me now. I have cash ready.
