Same as the one that came of my UK 99 car.

After getting the orbital sander to do the cleaning up of the backbox ready for spraying went to b&q and picked up a tin of matt silver spray paint .

It was a dry day so got the classic out and started working on it so today removed uk turbo rear lights and replaced them with the sti rear lights does make a big difference also removed rear bumper to have a look at the condition of the bumper bar well looks like it's been on a weight reduction diet lol so will need to order a replacement one also the rear panel is solid just light surface rust so will do that another day

Looking good, was it expensive to get the bolts etc zinc plated iv never thought of doing that but it's a great idea to do that to all the bits.

I'll want to start cleaning up my engine bay this year.

Wasnt expensive but got alot more parts to zinc plated .
