Rich those rims and HSD's will transform your car. You will be grinning from ear to ear.

Cheers Dave.

Yeah i won't lie, I am definitely looking forward to it all going in on Wednesday and hoping for it to look pretty tough.

Will have to wait and see how the rims fit in terms of any rubbing issues etc. Not expecting any major probs though.

Gonna look great IMO Rich!... a degree or so of negative camber should get them tucked inside the guards!

Will request neg camber and do a trial de-wing next weekend. I never thought I would de wing. I think it only suits when slammed.

Definitely trial the de-wing... It's a 5min job to check it out... so it's not like you're wasting hours of your time if you don't like it!

Give eucalyptus oil a crack at getting the remaining clue from the badges off, and also the wing!? Has worked a treat for me whenever I've used it!

Cool will do! Bug and Tar remover did sweet-fa to help really.

Also - Just had the 03 Steering wheel land on my desk, is there any way to tell if the airbag is still in there and intact? Not sure how this works.

Use wax and grease remover (Prepsol) to remove the residual tape from the badges.

If the steering wheel comes with the centre piece and it's not split you can assume its still in tact 'does it feel heavy'.

Not sure on the airbag, but I'd presume if it's complete then it should be intact?

edit: just realised your's is a WRX with STi bits... my bad...
