$1500 Challenge
Greetings Perth-Wrxlings
Now, I know that if you spend a shitload of money on your car - you expect it to look good & I am of the opinion of that with a limited budget & clever mods you can have a car that looks good ( not stock ) and wont cost you a 2nd mortgage. For me, I have spent approx $1.5k on my car appearance wise ( excluding services/consumables) and i think that my car is looking quite ok, dare i say it, Good. So i am interested to see what other people have done/could do with the same money. Conditions: You start with a stock WRX - same model as the one you currently own/owned. You Can Spend the money on anything but the car will be assessed off how it looks purely. $1500 is a guide for what you can "spend" If you can photochop these things onto your car - Sweet. if your car looks the same way with the mods you are/have put on. Post them up. If you have no pics but can describe what it looks like - Awesome. But Basically I'm looking to see to get peoples imagination going with a limited budget, what can you do to get a car that looks tasteful and tidy. There will be no judges but other members of the forum - read: this is a freeforall. Im of the opinion that cars are great fun and we should all have more money to spend on them but situation/conditions/wives normally stop us from going completely off the chain. So Post up what you've done, some pictures, descriptions, approx costing. Post Away! Master D

Pretty hard to make a car look great for $1500...at the bare minimum you need a lip and some lowering plus tint....
Best bang for your buck would be getting some rotas with decent offset....but then you would need lowering and possible camber adjustment... |

Take WRX to closest VW Dealership, trade it and use $1500 on a deposit for a Golf R
