Hello from a new wrx owner!
 
Hey guys, name is Jack, I'm 19, and obviously live in Perth and own an MY02 WRX. This is pretty much my first car, I had a 96 CA18DE Exa before this, but it never really saw the road. :p

Here's some obligatory shots of the new car (although I've had it for nearly a month now). The interior paint is my work, some might like it others will hate it, but it's a lot subtler when you see it in person. I think it looks nice, and the silver finish was all scratched up when I got it.

Excuse the news paper and tape in the engine bay of this shot, I had just finished restoring my headlights when I took this.

It's pretty tidy, but not quite perfect. There's a couple of little dents and marks that will need to be dealt with. Wheels also have a few good gashes:

That's about it for now, I'll no doubt see you guys around with many a stupid questions. :)

Welcome to the mad house, looks quite tidy.
Personally I don't mind the interior although I wouldn't of gone a metallic.

Welcome and nice pickup, I also have a bugeye in green and love it, "I didn't know they came in green" is something you will hear a lot.
Happy travels.

Very Nice, Say, how did you clean up your headlights. I need mine done up too. :)

I used Blue Magic headlight restorer and sealer. Did quite a good job of cleaning up my cloudy headlights. I think you just need to be careful not to get it on your paintwork, I was told it can strip the top coat.

Welcome and congrats on the buy, I've just recently done the headlight restoration on mine as well and makes it look like new!
