Hi had a trip down to K-Tec last week and some Speedline's & Toyo's, K-Tec coilovers and a carbon fibre splitter were on the agenda I also put on new number plates and a fresh rear number plate light. Finding the coilovers a really nice ride actually, much better than the Gaz ones I used to have. Next up for the car will be exhaust/filter/remap...
Also this is my first attempt with an SLR, I think I jumped too fast into aperture priority mode and some stuff's not really in focus. Comments and criticism on the photos or the actual car welcome!

Looks good, wheels semm to look lost in the arches, unsure if its just me or it could go down a touch on coilovers? I know its not for looks though, function over form and all that

Needs to be lower and wheels look like they need center caps.

Andy after you told me about your MPG mate the 182 will be a revelation! from memory I was getting 30+ easy and I ragged mine everywhere.
Been looking at them for me but just that bit to small when I need to pick up the baba shame as I've seen some for 2.5k

Been driving it for a year now and...
Town driving - 25-30mpg
Motorway - 35-40mpg
On average I seem to get around 27-28mpg but that's literally driving to work and girlfriends which are both within a few miles of my house.

The size is so much more 'me'
I had a blobeye Impreza before this and it dwarfed me.
