Sorry about poor quality, taken from inside house as it has not stopped raining

Before



New Black 16" 5 spoke alloys with Toyo Proxy T1S 205/50/16 tyres



The pink looking thing on the wheels are the STi stickers

I just KNEW that would be the first job...

LOL - what do you think to the Idea of respraying the roof Black....shortly followed by Pimp Tints

Hmmm, debadged the back end too I see

and the dealer sticker has gone from the rear screen

Yup, the rims look really nice. Good work!

If you can get the black to match the window surrounds, then paint the rest of the car pink to match the Sti badging on the wheels. Lowered, rear spoiler. SORTED!!!

If you paint the roof black, I'd definitely tint the window to match.

Hmmm...Ideas, ideas

Here's a close up of one of the front wheels showing tiny rotors with two pot calipers Need to get rears off to paint rusty drums...black of course

Hi just thought l'd drop a note as l've noticed you are somewhere up here in n'lancs/s'cumbria.l myself am in millom near barrow and have a legacy rs(proper type rs),l was wondering f the new legacy web site was yours as it's about time one was set up.........
cheers steve......

Hi Steve - you mean this one:



Very nice motor mate Look forward to catching up with you at the Cumbrian meet

hi about time uk had a decent legacy site

Proxes T1-S... Great tire.

My poor car...drove it to Liverpool and back but instaed of going home...I ended up going straight round to the Specialists

It's going to be an engine out job Needs new crank case gasket and a few other gaskets to sort out oil leak and new plugs to cure misfire...wondered why I was only able to do 60mph on the motorway

Should be back next week complete with my new bucket seats still considereing wether to pay the quoted £100 to respray the roof black - what do you guys reckon?

Why does the engine have to come out? You can replace nearly everything inlcuding the heads without removing the engine! At least on the 2.2 liter.

I'm not too keen on the black roof. Maybe on a true rally car, but on a street car with a few mods, it seems a little over the top. Just my 2 cents though

Hi golden oldie thanks for the pic of my car on the site now l can proove to the wife my car is now truely global.lf you are after a rear spoiler the one on the back of my rs is now removed and for sale shall we say £20....
let me know.....see ya steve.....

Nice work Golden Oldie. I think gunmetal rims are awesome. About spraying the roof black, on no too sure on that one, I'd focus more effort into painting the mirrors and door handles body color, then lower the beast and put an rs spoiler on the boot.

Mark,

The door handles are already colour coded and I think the black wing mirrors work with the black window surrounds

Have been quoted £100 to respray the roof plus it needs a new wing plus at least another couple of hundred pounds to tidy it up so I think I'll let the body be and concentrate on saving my cash for a turbo like Ian's silver saloon one that is for sale on http://www.legacyregister.co.uk

Cheers, Jon

Geese how could I not see the doors handles being body colored, I think I must be blind. Any thoughts On Legacy RS Rear bumper lips and sideskirts?

Mark

Hmmm Very tempting
