I've thought about changing my badges for the pink Subaru logo versions before now.

Not had the bottle!

As Ryan has said above I'm currently looking to go on a pink and black attack, just going one small step at a time though to make sure I don't suddenly over do it!

I think if any car can get away with having a bit of pink on and being driven and owned by a guy it's and Sti Impreza.

I think it's sits better with a black car, my next step is to sort the fog covers and then concentrate on the boot lid in terms of badges and logos.

Yeah, I think it would go well with my grey too.

I had always planned pink track wheels for mine... it's ended up being a family/commuter car though, so plans changed!

And now I have resorted to pulling bits off!

This should get the burble going a bit better, why anyone would want to suppress it I don't know 😊

Only another small step but one that I am pretty happy about, I bought the stickers for £5 and after pulling off all the red ones and giving the covers a clean they have come out ok.

Also removed the Bailey's 'sneezy' valve and installed the standard Subaru Re-circ one.

As I go over the car with a fine tooth comb it's interesting what I find out! The boot lid has a nasty spot of corrosion which I want to attend to ASAP.



As a start I decided I would remove the 'Subaru' badging from the lid, I am toying with leaving it off and thought I would get a look for the boot without it, after removing the results left behind leave little to the imagination...



I couldn't quite work out why it looks like this, then after a bit of inspection I have discovered the badges all have lacquer peel too, even the key lock...?! So it's clear the boot lid has been re-lacquered, with all the badges still in place!

I'm going to have to remove all the badges, get the spoiler off then get it booked in for some professional help.

It's a good reason to get some fresh paint on, get the rust repaired and get some new badges in place. There is of course to option of buying another boot lid, time for some research I think.

When I had my blue one I was quite keen to leave the badges in place, now I have the black one it's seems a much smarter look without all the badges. I want to keep the Sti badging but I think 'Subaru' will stay off.

The rust under the spoiler is a common thing, check the drainage holes are clear so that water drains away from the top of the bootlid under the spoiler properly. There's one on each side.

When you take the spoiler off, it'll probably be a bit worse under there. Its not a problem if you're going to have it painted though - just needs sanding back and smoothing out.

My blue one suffered with it too, just not as obviously as this one! I am expecting the worse when the spoiler is removed, it will get a good clean up and all drain wholes un-clogged if needs be, will also make sure all the necessary sealant goes in place to try and keep the leaky boot problem at bay.

I would just buy a replacement STI bootlid in the right colour from a breaker Rob, if the rust is bad underneath (£50/60) and bolt your spoiler to it much cheaper than getting it painted.

Anytime buddy - apologies I had to rush towards the end - rather wish I hadn't gone to mechanic now following my latest suspension fiasco!

Was good laugh though and u certainly got the hang of the DA pretty quick 👍🏻👍🏻

Really pleased with how it came out, can't believe how tough keeping a black car clean it, every little swirl and scuff shows! Wheels could do with a refurb and I still can't wait to get all the suspension switched over, rear shocks are a bit quieter now it's driven regularly on softer southern roads though but still want to get it on my newer shocks and springs 😁
