Apparently ... this colour scheme already exists on a Forfour brabus : a mate has seen a Dark blue brab' with gold wheels ... and gold Brabus badges : it's more a Forfour Williams style, but quite close ! (I'd love to see it !)

well quick update, camera lead is on order from ebay after the original one refused to work (may have something to do with being played with by a 4 year old)

stripping of the brabus continues, (p.s the reason went for a brabus was its been a cat c write off so had for a steal) and have dimensions of the impreza engine, just got to adjust the engine bay on the forfour to fit  :D

TBH, the Tridion should be more than strong enough, though I would feel happier for you if there
were a couple of braces across the roof, in case the panoramic roof went. I could be wrong, but
I'll hazard a guess that the peops you've spoken to will not know or even allow for the underlying
strength of the Tridio and slap a 'butch' diameter cage in that will need chunks out of the dash etc.
We will all have to wait and see on that score though.

so today stripped all windows from car apart from screen, measured them up for pollycarb replacements, then sent the numbers across to the company that makes them, bonnet has gone off to the bodyshop so they can graft the STI8 scoop on to it.

bed time now, more updates tomorrow

still awaiting lead for camera, but today more stripping of things off the forfour, wiring, airbags, dash, more trim, would go a lot quicker if wasn't taking things off carefully so they could be sold. some new toys also arrived today, hydraulic handbrake, bbs wheels, so another step closer :)
