My Subaru Forester Xt

[Coopsterz]

The story of my Foz
To be honest I was not even looking to buy a Subaru just wanted to get rid of the vectra that I kinda fell in to, after buying it of my brother so was on the hunt to trade in when I seen the Foz in the corner of a dealers ,
never even heard of the forester model before but like the sound of owning a Subaru i took it for a spin..............
to be honest i was not sure if i wanted it, but thought to my self if i dont trade in this vectra im going to get stuck with it.





have to say after a few days the mod bug bit me and but me hard .
first i had to get new wheels,
then the window tint, next was the dvd player install and uprated the speakers
then............oh here this is quicker,  :idea1:

I bet thats a very usefull car with great performance.

I have to admit. I think it looked ok when you bought it. Theres something fairly vulgar about it now. I think its the wheels I really don't like.

Still. Its probably more to do with my age. These are pretty rare over in Britain. I've always liked them.

[ALfooy]

i like it, i like it alot. i share the comment of the wheels, but if you like them, ho hum, its your car.

[Neutral_Nas]

Really like that apart from the wheels, i see that you have nearly doubled the power.

[redleader1]

very nice...... love the wheels, they have really changed the appearance....

[soad]

Can't argue with performance.

[DaGuv]

Thats a awesome effort, very impressive. Looks awesome!

[RobCrezz]

Good effort, except for them wheels.....

[astirling]

I'm with a few of the above, really quite like it other than the wheels. Impressive work though dude!

[CaptainSlow]

I like it, I have a standard XT that looks like yours used to.

What mpg do you get now?

The rear spoilers a bit big and the front grille doesn't look great IMHO. Apart from that though it looks pretty nice. Bet it goes well too!

thanks for all the comments guys, i understand that every one has different taste so its always good to hear feedback - good and bad -
the wheels actual had a good bit of thought into them as i wanted to make sure they don't look out of place, the pics really don't do them justice the reason i went with them is coz they match/tie in with the whole black and silver theme and have a slight slope from the outer rim to the center,which matches the sloping lines on the body.......

still like i said not to all tastes, but to be fair ppl don't get too long to stair at the rims coz its all a big blur , lol
happy out and about am i , all in all 10,000k euros well spent on extras (wow) so glad the misses don't know about the 60quid club
