June 10, 201411 yr I've been trying to figure out what it all is.... so far I'm guessing: Pic 1 - Intercooler and strut brace (Very nicely polished) Pic 2 - Washer bottle either replaced or painted (can just see the fuel filter in top left) Pic 3 - Intake scoop has been wrapped or dipped (awesome choice of colour)
June 10, 201411 yr Author Yer it's dipped mate by hydrotek at fencehouses in durham they have done an awesome job
June 11, 201411 yr Author Fitted my blitz boost gauge and carbon pilla pod tonight and I am realy pleased with it reading perfect The universal pilla pod took some fitting it's not perfect but it looks ok for now
June 11, 201411 yr Author It's not to bad mate but I am going to get a proper custom pilla with two pods on I think
June 14, 201411 yr That looks fantastic! Have you replaced the washer bottle and so on with new ones or just painted them?
June 14, 201411 yr Author Just painted them mate I got a k&n pannel and privet plate fitted tonight small front plate looks cool
June 16, 201411 yr I give mine a good blasting with a degreaser,leave it for 15 minutes and power wash mine....never cover up anything, usually dry in no time. Yours looks ace!
June 20, 201411 yr This has inspired me alot I just got an 05 black wrx too and hopefully if the warranty repairs I've found won't cause too much hassle then I can really get on with smartening the car up! Was the getting the tango parts out of the headlights straight forward or is it quite time consuming as I haven't looked into taking my headlights out yet? Also where did you get your heat shielding for the bonnet? Looks great!
June 20, 201411 yr Author It isn't a hard job mate just takes a bit of patience where abouts are you if you are close I would do it for you as for the heat shield I have a couple more I would sell £10 plus postage
June 20, 201411 yr I'm based in York that's about 70miles from Durham? I would drive up if could arrange something, the car needs abit of warranty tlc over the next 2 weeks first though. She's scoopless at the moment... :( Would have one of your heat shields too as mine looks abit tatty!
June 20, 201411 yr Author I am free most Sundays mate I could sort u out a step by step guide to do it and would save you the trip
June 20, 201411 yr Author Here is a link to the guide I used http://www.scoobyireland.com/forum/how-useful-threads/29426-how-detango-blobeye-headlights.html
June 20, 201411 yr Sundays are my day off so also free most of them, either way thanks for the help I;ll have a read of that, not sure if I'm brave enough to do it all myself and have a good result!
June 20, 201411 yr Author Well like I say either have a go using the guide or when your car is fixed we could sort a time out for u to come up and I will do it. The only thing is I won't be able to paint them as there won't be time for them to dry befor they need to go back together as for the heat shield either get it when u come up or pay as gift by paypal and I can post you it either way is fine by me mate
June 20, 201411 yr I will see what I can do, just looking at that thread - the three bolts that mount the headlight, I see two are easy to get to but is the one on the side accessible without taking the front bumper out?
June 20, 201411 yr Author Yes mate you take out the grill ( it is just clipped in) then take out the top bumper clips out with flat head screwdriver then you can just pull the top of the bumper far enough out to get to the bolt
June 20, 201411 yr Great, I have to wait till I get this warranty stuff sorted if all goes well as don't want to mess with the car in anyway yet so that they can't turn around and tell me I've voided it but tampering with parts on the car, only got a week and abit of it left so making the most of it before I got to pay out of my own pocket for any future problems! Will post an update once I get started in a week or so :) Might try get to the NBO even if my car still requires abit of work will be worth it to see all the cars for inspiration and see yours in the flesh if you get yourself there!
June 20, 201411 yr Author Year I am on the nesf stand I could take the heat shield there if you want I might take the other ones aswell
