Firstly let me apologise about the thread title, literally just flown back to the UK after a few weeks visiting relations downunder so it seemed sort of relevant, to me anyway I have been lurking around in the background for a while now and finally signed up 4 weeks ago a week after purchasing me 1st ever Mazda and my 1st non Impreza in 10 years What did I go for ?? well I suppose my username sort of says it all. Brief background is as follows, Been a car nut all my life and over the yeras have owned a long list of performance orientated vehicles starting with Cortina 1600E's, Mexicos (both Mk1 and 2), RS2000's (again Mk1 and 2), Westfied SEi widebody, several highly modified cars of all descriptions and over the last 10 years loads of Imprezas, some mildly modified and 2 that were very highly modded. This obsesssion with Imprezas actually led me to start an Impreza based business which is still going strong today, for those interested see here http://www.milsport.co.ukWhy the change ?? well basically, a mixture of boredom and no longer feeling that I can associate myself with the average Impreza driver ( I will continue to take their money though  ) Ist Impressions of the MPS6 are pretty good although I have a few plans for improvements to the drivetrain, brakes, engine and suspension with just a few subtle mods to the body, I will keep everyone up to date as and when these happen but believe me it won't take too long. Now down to business As I have a awful lot of contacts within the performance/tuning industry I intend to start sourcing some MPS bits and bobs as I have already discovered that suppliers in the UK are virtually non exsistant. Are/would any of you be interested? I do not have any plans for another business but would basically sell these items on a GB basis, the more we can order the cheaper it will be. 1st in the pipeline will be a groupbuy on stainless brake lines which as of yet are not available anywhere else but through me. Made by a very respected UK based company, available in several overbraid colours and of 100% stainless steel construction. As a guide these kits will be sold (in the GB only) at 15% below RRP (RRP = £59.95, GB price = £52.00) If the mods have any issues with any of the above please feel free to contact me, my intentions are totally honourable and I do not wish to upset anybody, merely help the community I now find myself a part of. Well, thats about it. Lots more questions to ask but you will find these in the appropriate forums.

Thanks for the replies and welcomes.
I have had the car for such a short time and what with 4 of those 5 weeks being spent in Oz I have not really thought about what else, it will probably start with things like side repeaters, rear reflectors, smoked rear lights etc, it might possibly move on to things like induction kits, hard pipes, FMIC's and exhausts but that is by no means a promise.
I will start a thread in the traders section over the next day or so re; the brake lines so keep an eye out.
