nice

i was looking at the same model last year - but never took the plunge. And now i've got too attached to the bug, i'm not sure i could bring myself to make the upgrade to the STI!

what are the extra goodies then?

Nice one mate, look forward to seeing some more pics. Does this mean the coil overs can be had sooner?

Saw the car in the flesh for the first time today.

It's a really tidy one. I'm sure it wont stay standard for long

Got a bargain there

I'm sure once Moley gets going on it, it'll be something pretty special.

I still love his classic. I gave it a 'light drive' yesterday

Can't believe it's going to be broken

New one looks lovely

Is feels a lot more comfy and modern, but to drive it isn't a patch on the classic. The newage certainly feels heavier.

The new one is going to GRD for a more aggressive alignment on Tuesday, and will put some Whiteline goodies on it soon, which should help.

Slowly starting to get there.

Have fitted a splitter, sprayed the mesh black, removed the mudflaps, changed the numberplates, cleaned the engine bay (thanks to Chunk and Andywrx) and given it a wash.

Goes into the bodyshop in two weeks to have the front bumper sprayed, and a general tidyup.

Starting to look better......
