None as yet, they've not been fitted but there are plenty of pics on here if you search for them in the Members Gallery.

They are or were less than £40 from japanparts.com, even with the extra costs they'll still be a lot cheaper than ICP, especially if you're ordering the R205 rear diffuser if makes sense.

I've got a set of brand new Prodrive GT2 19'' wheels which are being repainted in gloss black which will be fitted soon, after that it's having a fully forged engine build which will also include a CDB conversion as well.

Nice car as well, very nice in black although having had black cars before I don't envy you the constant cleaning required to keep it looking it's best.

I bet you're excited, I know I would be.

Good luck and get some pics up of it once it's in your possession, there's a big thread on the 2008 Hatchback models in the Members Gallery.

The TE37 style of wheel always looks good on an Impreza, I've not seen any on a Hatchback yet in the flesh but my Xbox One Forza Horizon 2 Hatchback STi looks the mutts nuts with them fitted.

I've got both consoles and games, FH2 leaves DC in it's wake - DC is quite frankly pants and wouldn't be worth paying £20 for, unfortunately I believed the hype behind DC.

I prefer the PS4 over the XBO but in driving games it's FH2 which is the daddy.

Very mean and moody with everything black, it will be a right swine though to keep it looking clean.

Nothing too much going on at the moment, a few more parts that I'd ordered have arrived - a Zunsport bonnet scoop grille, a set of genuine Subaru floor mats and a set of Prodrive valve caps to match the wheels.

One of the last drives that it will undertake will be up to the breakfast meet on the 26th, shortly after the car will go up to C & K Motors for the rest of the modifications to be carried out, the front and rear bumpers to be painted plus of course the engine is going to be removed and sent away to have a CDB conversion and fully forged rebuild.

I'm still undecided on whether to uprate the turbocharger and injectors, but I think that they will be staying standard and if I want more power than that will be done at a later date.
