Well the car handles and stops like a boss right now. The only reason I would do the rears would be to suit the look of the caliper. If I had cash to throw around I would get the wrx rears, respray my wheels a dark gunmetal or even similar colour to the Megane sport gunmetal colour, tcp centre pipe and hyper flow tmic but don't want to keep throwing cash at it

I am keen on doing something in the engine bay cosmetically however...

By the way these Dunlop SP sport Maxx tyres are the best tyres I have ever had! Will but again for sure.

how much trouble would it be to fit WRX (the 2Pot?) rears?

and thats good to hear about the Dunlops might look into them


by the way, im liking those pics, looking uber sexy!

Nice pics Hamish . Looking great with the red nuggets behind the flat black.

Wrx 2 pot rears are similar to the brembo rears. You need the right dog bone adaptor ($150-$200) and the right brake rotor. I know That DBA make them. Unsure on the other brake brands out there.

oh thats good, i was planning on getting DBA rotors

i just thought wrx 2 pot rears would be a cheaper option to the brembo rears

[t.renshaw34]

Yep $2-500 delivered from Japan vs $4-800 for brembo rears out of Japan.

Perfect Hamish.

All you need is the adapters and 2 pots. The standard rear rotor (290mm) on the GT's, 3.0's is the same as the WRX rear rotor.

Well the whole 'finished' stage wore off pretty quick,

I'm a bit over my matte black rims and keeping them clean, might respray gloss dark charcoal

I'm going to be modifying a stock grille and get some honeycomb mesh (facelift style) and DIY a decent looking facelift grille because the genuine mesh one looks like shit



Also thinking of playing with some DRL idea's running down the bottom of the headlight


Maybe I should just leave it as is, hmmm

A mesh grill done right would look good.

If you do DRL's, I'll personally come and slap you. Unless its factory integrated, they all look "added" on.

Yeh I know it will turn out to look cheap.

I'll just see how the grille goes and down the track might do some style halos around the projector like exhausted and Clarence
