Default Spring clean take 2

Having given the FSTi a spruce up recently, the Impreza was feeling a bit left out.

So, this morning I gave it a wash, polish, glaze and wax.




I think the paint came up quite well; this is the driver's side doors.



Pictures aren't the best as they are taken on my phone, but hopefully you get the idea.

I am keeping an eye out for some new wheels, as the standard ones are a bit dull. Be interested to hear folks thoughts on colour; my current thoughts are gold, black or anthracite.

Very very nice. Love a black wagon and sat on the drive with the foz looks

I'm actually a fan of the original wrx wheels. If they are mint and with tyre gel they look really good but if you are going to change them then some nice pf7's or rota grids in anthracite

I do sometimes just look out the window at them both, sad as that might make me!

The wheels need refurbishing ideally, which is what has made me think that maybe they'll do a turn as winter wheels with something a bit fancier for summer.

Also, I've seen horror threads of powder coated WRX wheels, so they'd be repainted. The cost (either way as it goes) makes little sense really, which also make me think a second set is a plan to pursue.

Cheers chaps.

Two could be considered greedy I suppose!

They both get used everyday, so we aren't depriving anyone else in that sense.

The local Shell garage should send us a hamper at Christmas.

Should be careful with your thread titles, SilverSurfer will get all excited when he see's it and then all disappointed like when he clicks and looks!
