No such thing as a QUICK touch up. That was what this one was, a touch up/ jam job.

Looks great mate, it's amazing how those wheels look better on the cars they weren't designed to go on, or maybe it's just the dark blue:-D

Great job on the paint. Agreed with the comments on the wheels - these are my favorite OEM Subaru wheel. I was so heartbroken having to take mine off my Legacy (didn't clear the 4pot calipers I upgraded to).

Thanks Mark. I like the colour, but the quality isn't perfect up close.

The gear box is going great so far. Alittle whine in low range and little stiff in the changes. I think the stiffness is due to not having a outback/forester shifter. Shifter not set low enough.

Thanks Andrew, Like i said a couple of post back, the paint job not perfect up close. I need to sand the clear more. It was only a quick job to make it look better for the roadworthy and make it my colour. LOL.

The wheels are my fav of all the subaru wheels also.

Now has Gt forester seat backs in the car. There is a reason for only the backs used. Will explain when pic goes up.
