There's some of us out there Jays but they are hard to find. Looks better with that bonnet, if only it was there for a reason.. oneday in the not so distant future

Not the spoiler!

It's called a spoiler for a reason!!

I love the look of the Gen2s as well, but I wouldn't shy away from a good RS wagon :twisted:

The spoiler is a little over kill, personally probably won't have it on, but the standard liberty one just doesn't look as great, would like maybe a standard gc8 spoiler

Looking pretty good so far :)

I agree, the spoiler is a little over the top.

Kinda looks ok but needs to be white carbon fibre and then you can dip some other bits

Now that's an idea, I might aswell leave the car white if I'm doing that, but its a good idea, I'm keen on it

Yeah I like the white carbon fibre idea for the dash...

Auto?? Thought it'd be a manual... but that's just me!

"D" for DRAG right?!

Its an auto I know, shame, but its nice to drive, especially when I get the complete wrx conversion in it, once the old man gets some room in that shop of his

I love my Gen2 :)

The bonnet and front bar look good on yours mate.

The single piece projector headlights are nice. I had a set on mine but swapped them back out and now i can't find them :( Oh well.

Have you had a look at the the RFRB BD5 parts on importmonster?

Also have a google for the Tommy Kaira BG5 (M20TB), it's got all carbon door cards, dash, coll cage etc. Very cool.
