The Wheels really bring that car to life Nice one.

[PapaHett]

I love those cars.. Never seen one with new Type R alloys..

I'd do them black though:

[MondeoMan1981]

Very tasteful looking car - like it

[scotty_d]

Looking good (wheels look good in white IMHO )

[soad]

Very nice - those wheels really suit the car.

[HeavySoul]

Give it a slight drop in ride height and it would set those wheels off nicely

[adamfraser]

Thanks for the comments going back to Honda for a slight exhaust rattle on start-up but bar that everything is fantastic.

Was going to go with Anthracite but white suits it - for now

Ride height will be dropped slightly - springs or coilovers though - still not decided !

[warped head]

coil overs as you can then sat the ride height just right.

Also you get the damping adjustment if you buy the right ones so you can set up the ride to suit you.

a friend has a blue one with the type R spoiler (optional extra, not chavtastic stuck on with chewinggum and paperclips) and it looks fatastic.

get one for yours and get some fogs to fill the front bumper but make sure they have yellow lenses.

Also the type R back box (if its not on there already) sets the back of nicely.

Has a slight rasp when in vtec but only very slight and doesnt look chavvy either.

Or get a nice Buddyclub exhaust.

Expensive but damn do they sound good.!

[adamfraser]

Yeah definitely going to try get a Type-R spoiler for it and the fog kit.

It has a Magnex backbox on it as it is which sounds fantastic, just slightly raspier than standard but nothing stupid

[warped head]

what other plans do you have for it?

Mugen intake would be good, as would a mugen carbon front splitter.

Buddyclub spec3 cams

Lots you can do to that car as they have very cabable engines.

[adamfraser]

Carbon splitter...mmm!

Really dont know just now. Fancy doing the Anniversary EP3 red Carpets, red Recaros, Type-r / Big brake kit but possibilities are endless.

Gave it a wash and a polish this morning, nothing fancy Clay-Bar'd, Blackfire Wet diamind then a coat of Midninght sun Wheels done with Midnight sun too.

[warped head]

Would look good in deirect sunlight i imagine, just the weather doesnt do it justice.

Very nice Adamn, spose this is what going straight to work gets you... A few more years and I'll have my TT or my Clubman...
When did you get any sort of car? Last I heard you were using the 9-3!

[HeavySoul]

Forget about adding loads of aftermarket stuff too it, keep it simple and discreet. Keep your money for the more important stuff - petrol!

Don't try and make it look like something it isn't - those wheels are a large feature and statement already so with that drop in ride height it will be just enough IMO

Was using 9-3 briefly but after doing test needed to get to work - bought a sroen Saxo, flying up and down to Birmingham in it didnt so it much good so traded it in a week before it's MOT was due - which needed an exhaust, alloy repared, wheel bearing, timing belt, aux belts etcetc.

So bought this

Just shows the last time we spoke!

[Waugh-terfall]

I know man, been a long while! I take it you still work for Subaru and Birmingham is where you do your course thing? Or have things moved on from that too?!

[adamfraser]

Yep still wokring at Subaru and Tech training in Birmingham
