Not had chance to work on the car much over summer but Ive been cracking on with it lately and it should be back on the road soon for our meet in York 20th September
Here are a few photos:
I will hopefully be taking the car off the road again soon to blend the flares into the wings/rear quarters for the final BIG work this year.
Carbon skinning:
Wings + Flares
Skirts
Rear Quarters + Flares

Starting to come together Ben. I think Billy's map is based on your cars. Does the steering wheel have an horn and resistor mod?

Yeah its adjustable I have it set to its most angled but it can also be set flat. It does look strange without the flares, they give it a more aggressive look
Its getting there mate, still got a long way to go but the plan is to have it all sorted for next summer and attend as many shows as possible. Did Billy goto Ollie at PvD?

He's a character is Ollie.
In the future will you be producing Carbon body panels for the entire Impreza?

Not yet no I am hosting a meet in Leeds on 29th November where the car will be seen for the first time. You should try make it, we have teamed up with KT Green a local Subaru dealership to showcase my car and also the new STi along with a couple of KT Greens rally cars
Yeah they are top guys, highly recommended.
Yes I am hoping to offer as much as we can, did you have something in mind?
Yeah, he got through a sh*t load of work in 1 day. Fitted Turbo after a bit of fabricating, Injectors, plugs, oil change then cracked on with remap. Took him an hour to get the laptop talking to the ECU as my wife had unplugged the OBD2 port for some reason. KELSEY MESSES WITH THE CAR I DON'T! I clean it and drive it.

So yesterday I thought what the hell i'll post up photos of the build but only teaser shots of the carbon when it goes on until the photo shoot
Rear flare is yet to be cut to separate it from the car so the rear bumper is easily removed

Are you going to re-cut the bumper to rear panel line? Not sure I like the fact the arches are blended into the rear panel & rear bumper without some sort of divide between the 2 obvious panels. Personally I would rather it still looked like it was removable. Sorry, just my opinion.
Looks very aggressive. Like the look. Interested to see it completed.

Did I read somewhere that you're not going to run the BGW? Why not?

Looks fantastic mate. Would you offer a fitting & painting service for the arches?
Say, drop a car off for a week and pick it up all done?

I havent tried but I would imagine it would fit yes, the only issue you might have is the weight, you may need to reinforce it underneath the boot lid.
