aint trying to pass it off as anything other than an STi prodrive tho are you, so not a fake, plus itl be functional for the track... function over form is always the best way

Back on topic & Your roof vent mod ..

I Think it's a cracking idea & will totally compliment your car , I For one would love one of these on mine but would mean have to grind of the " Fake " Non functional one on mine , Good luck as with all your mods im sure that you will take your time & make a superb job of it just like you have with the rest of the mods on your car

By no means was I implying your car was fake mate i was using it as an example of how do people justify a "fake"?
Too right about being different.. I dont know another fully WRC kitted bugeye around mate

You could always fit one of these with your scoop over the top mate

Thats what some of the Group N boys do..

I have thought about using a roof scoop like Tiny's, making a water dam so to try and stop ingress of water and using the moulded vents on the inside of the car:-

Those in the know will see i have a clean quality mods.. so they will respect it anyway.. if they dont.. who am i to care?

Is Tinys WRC rep a fake WRC car????... You decide

I suppose the same could be said that all of the subarus with rally graphics, aint wrc cars, and all of the ones with STI on em aint STIs.
I belive you have a RB5 spoiler mate.. but you dont own an RB5...

Swings and roundabouts I think.

With the amount of stuff ive done to the car mate and the fact it will spend alot of time on track next year.. as Adidas said.. it will only enhance the cars WRC inspired looks so who cares.

I dont know many newage cars that have the vent put in.. so its another mod for me to be different.

I plan on having much more "GO" than show anyway
O.K GOOD CALL
still will need ***** tho ;0

Looks great...good luck with putting a hole in your roof.

Done it on mine to put in a working shark fin aerial,although that was a small hole,it was quite scary too,wondering if the drill slipped and would gouge a bloody great scar in the paintwork,whether it was central etc







Not to everyones taste,but me like
