well we got fed up with the astra theres far to many of them on the road so we traded it in and bought a version 4 subaru impeza v limited 555 import with an uprated dump valve,82mm bost guage,compmotive s/s exhaust,tein coilovers and a hks green mushroom induction kit.
heres how she looked when we bought her.

as i work as a sign writer i spoke to the boss and got the car in the other week.i put the rally 555 vynal on it.the garage also refurbed the wheels for free so we asked for them to be done it white.
heres how she looks just now.

future plans are get my mate to tint it,ive got some crystal clear indicators for the wings and bumper,got an rb5 front bumper for it,uprate the brakes,paint the callipers gold,uprate the clutch and tidy a few little things up.not decided if im going to tune it or leave it as is.

Nice car but the big 555 vinyl looks like a gambling sponsor IMO, which spoils it.

Looks nice mate. Seen 1 just like that zooming around near ramsgate with the same stickers up the side :P

the 555 is the rally graphics and because its a 555 v limited meaning they only made 555 of them due to the sponser being the 555 brand of ciggaretes.the other cars that have them are in a slightly brighter yellow but i wanted mine to be individual so made it the darker yellow.on the window it says colin mcrae 1968-2007 in chrome vynal.

You should have left it exactly how you bought it, ie original, white wheels dont go either
stu-n-shell
24th October 2008, 18:14
no one likes the wheels because they are used to the usual gold wheels there scared to be different but we like them and at the end of the day its down to personal choice

24th October 2008, 18:54

any reason why you feel you should be posting a progress thread here>
also not a fan of the 555 graphics, was overkill in 1999 let alone 2008.

nice motor, mate of mine wrote one of those off a couple of months ago, he was over taking a lorry and a van pulled out to over take too, cliped his front end spun him round and he ended up under the trailer of the lorry being dragged down the road. Totally trashed it.Got insurance dough and now got a skyline. Anyway think yours looks great with or without 555 colin mcrae tribute nice touch man

thats what most people say.
and as for the comment about why ive posted it on here. is because i have my progress thread about the sax so just thought id put some up about this car aswell.its a sax site but theres plenty of users that actualy dont own a sax any more its something different.

As everyone has said the stickers do ruin the car,they are tacky imo.
But the rest of the car looks mint,i would like to own one of these one day.

Another Subaru ruined by the 555 sticker. It looks so tacky, but as for the wheels they don't look that bad
