Update time. A day of good, a day of annoying.

The good - got the roof wrapped by Gav @ GT Graphics. Superb service, great bloke. Highly recommended.

The annoying - the stupid fuck in the US who does the BlueBatMobile overlays. Initially my order was missing from the group buy package, so they ended up being sent separately. When I do get them, he's given me yellow fog light overlays instead of the black 3/10 tint I ordered, he sent me two left hand side inner tail light overlays (as you can see in the retardo rear end), and the headlight tint is 6/10 not the 3/10 grade I ordered. Looks mean, but I am probably going to take it off tomorrow. I feel it would be a definite canary earner and I'm not keen on chancing any insurance issues. The 3/10 would have been a whole lot more subtle, albeit equally risky.

Here, have some photos:
















Alright, now I have 3k tax return to play with. I'm thinking rims (only Ultrex or Rota) with some decent rubber considering I have barely worn S-Drives on the car already (may try selling them) or a TD05-20g and retune (alternatively an AVO380). If I chuck on 18's I'll have to put in lowering springs as well.

Whatever I do, it will be the last significant change for quite a while as the fiancee and I are close to purchasing or building a house.

Eagerly awaiting positive contributions, and expecting flames from the usual bullies

btw: unless you're running Firefox with colour management/ICC profiles enabled, the colours are probably going to be fucked

I reckon the Ultrex RS gold would look the business.
Rotas - Gravel in hyper black maybe?

huggy - I wanted gold rims from the beginning but (even though I dislike black rims) I'm now leaning towards black rims just to follow the cosmetic mods. Either black Rota grids/gforce/T2R or black Ultrex classics like PoktRokt has. Saw one on display at STechnic last week and really liked them in person.

+1 on dark/black rims with a mean offset and wide.

Big brakes to complete the look.

TR2 would look nice, but more look than function given the width and offset, particularly since you dont have a widebody - you'll have to roll guards, camber like a demon.....to many headaches I reckon. IMO, you dont want to be the 3rd hatch on P-WRX with grids. If you wanna test fit g-forces, I'm sure we can organise to put my rims on your car to have a bo peep?

I think PoktRokt is looking to get different rims? Maybe grab hers on the cheap and get the turbo/tune as well? Goodness I'm brilliant......

eugh, thanks huggy I just saw the only widths available for the T2R. I'm sticking with 8-8.5" for the reasons you mentioned. That's a bummer, they were my favourite Rota's.
