Me too, always liked your white STi!

John, these splitters actually join onto the STi corner splitters, so I'm afraid they wont just fit straight onto a WRX

 

Hi Megabusa

Thats what I thought looking at all the pictures Ive seen of the WRX special additions they all have the sti front bumper with the corner splitters and without these it will look horrible. I have got some sti side skirts coming from
sti racing .com and he can supply the front splitter for £310, have you any idea what you are going to charge for yours?

Regards

John

PS thanks for the replies, am glad you know your my 03/04 stuff.

 

John could you please email me scott@scottlowe.co.uk . If I so much as whisper any more details here I will get nuked.
Remember when importing parts you will probably get stung for import duty and VAT.

 

Hi Scott will mail you tommorow when I am at work

Regards

John

 

Or you can ring me, numbers on our website!

 

UPDATE:
We layed one up in wet carbon, the mould didn't suit this method, we are currently laying them up in pre-preg autoclave carbon (the method used in Formula 1 manufacture). Looking very nice, very very light, very very very strong!

In your opinion, if you did them in carbon, how would they suit a black car without painting?

 

The black and grey carbon, when lacquered, is the same finish as the bodywork and they would look great together. They can also be supplied in GRP either white to be painted, or black (or many other colours for that matter) and are quite inexpensive.

 

see below

 

Looks good. Is this the one advertised on the website with no picture?

How long before you expect to be able to start delivering them to customers?

Mind you, I suppose it will take me a couple of weeks to get the Sti corner splitters on first (I have a WRX)!

 

What website? Don't know what you mean

 

Lol @ Scott

 

Is that my one

I think this could be heading for the fight forum



















btw its mine

 

Hi Jolley,

How are you planning to fit the STi corner splitters to your WRX bumper? I've been told they only fit on Sti bumpers (seems there's a difference between bumpers). Any info would be appreciated.



Cheers.

 

there is a thread on here about that. Need to cut some slots in the creases on the front bumpers for three tabs to go through, then the rest of the fittings should screw to the bottom of the bumper. Jasoon posted some pics of the splitters.

Don't know if they come with fixings. If not, what do people recommend to use?

By the way, my local dealer has none in stock and none showing in the UK Warehouse, so it might take a while to come in. I'm tempted just to order some from japan/US with the splitter in one go.

 

Here's a couple of pics which might be of help....the corner splitters as removed from my STi.

I think you can see where the tabs are which will need holes in your bumper to locate it






If you are buying new ones,they will come with 3 press fitting attached.

These are held on by plastic rivets and will have to be removed in order to fit the WRX.....I only have one left as I was a bit ham-fisted taking them off

..Jon

 

elmer, how did you fit them? GTOMO used ties, which scared me a bit - did you bolt them on? Easy to do without a ramp etc?

 

Sorry mate,can't help you much there,as my car*is*an STI....they were fairly easy to remove tho,even without a background in Rocket Science,despite them being attached to the vehicle by 12 different bolts/plastic fixings

I seem to remember reading on here that Jim Theo bonded his onto his WRX

and it may be worth knowing that those 3 tabs locate into a steel bracket on the inside of the STi bumper,so bonding them on is probably your best bet.

..Jon

 

Elmer,

Where did you get your front grill from?

Would appreciate if you would post where from, how much and did it come painted?

Cheers

 

Heres some photos of the final production article, starting to be despatched from Monday 17th;

 

Scott has that been lacquered? Looks a little duller than I was expecting. Maybe it's just the photo?

 

Hasn't been lacquered. The originals (wet lay) were going to be but prepreg has such a nice finish it doesnt require it. It can be lacquered but its a tricky process and expensive. Carbon fibre is a difficult thing to photograph too!

 

How much is "expensive to get it lacquered"? I definitely like it but was hoping for bling

I.E. like the finish on this carbon blade spoiler, on my last car?



Cheers

Nathan..
