Very nice mate, been wondering how you were progressing with it.  I reckon first start up is one of those huge milestones in a build, congrats.

Can not wait to see this on the road, beautiful work and attention to detail

The hours and dedication to do something like this leaves me amazed!

Blown away by the detail work on smoothing out the engine bay, well done.

Only thing about gold one blue is it will have the Wrx look.

 

Those se centers look pretty pimp. But  I’ve seen them grafted to rims before and its completely killed the look.

[capssyParticipant Pro touring calais View build HERE Member since: March 1, 2015 Posts: 178]

I can see what you mean  by that  might stick to black or gun metal grey heres the same wheel in a cl and gun metal

Awesome. Car, I’m getting rid of my simmons for the same reason.

[capssyParticipant Pro touring calais View build HERE Member since: March 1, 2015 Posts: 178]

I know rims are a very very personal choice kinda thing, but check out the ones Jaba has on his VZ Senator. I think he brought them in from the US, they are basically a BMW M style wheel.  Might suits yours, particularly colour coded to match your silver?

^btw kinda think the custom centre caps I designed for him came up pretty well, that’s something I could do for someone else if they had an idea of what they wanted, just to give it that personal touch
