Donor P1 purchased today :) - I'm now the owner of 1.5 two door impreza's !

perfect right rear

probably won't need much of it, nice to have the backup though - not bad for £150 for the whole rear end.

Oh and thought this may make some of your chuckle - had a weird noise when I turn right out of work ... like a scraping, well after stripping multiple parts and finding no cause ... suddenly realised what it was ... the zip on my jacket sliding along the door card .. DOH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! .. cheap fix then :)

Love the cheap fix :D

Yes, pink suspension components is too far ;) can they do something near crackle black in terms of texture/appearance? Would match your underseal then :sifone:

I agree that is more sensible Stuart, but I don't know lairy pink feels cool :) - along with a pink cage :)

Damn I was tempted to have the HKS Kansai Cage I bought for the GTR painted turquoise ... lucky I sold it before fitting then :)

White and pink is a cool colour scheme. I think suspension arms, braces, etc. would look ace in STI pink.

Would be rude if you didn't have some form of STI pink on the car Ben. After all pink is actually historically a manly colour. (Especially in Japan) :nod:

I wouldn't powder coat the items, paint seems to last better from what I've seen from kit cars, wheels etc. I'm sure someone will say I'm wrong just from my own experience. Not keen on pink, your car is nice enough with out the statement
