Came home to find a failed delivery notice from the Royal Mail, so that must have been it, will collect it from he Post Office tomorrow. 
I personally went for the red to complement the "red-top" of the STi engine.

Hints on removing the Power Steering pulley MY03 WRX
1. Undo the two 10mm cover fixings.
2. Lift the corner to release cover & swivel it out the way around the throttle cable.
3. Spray some "Plus Gas" or "WD40" on the shaft & nut to be soaking in.
4. Slacken the two 12mm bolts holding the alternator & turn the adjuster anti clockwise to slacken the belt enough to remove.
5. Place a short extension bar through the pulley aperture & rest it on the ledge of the pump mounting bracket.
6. Use a 19mm ring spanner to undo the pulley nut whilst bracing the extension bar against the ledge to gain leverage & stop the pulley turning.
7. Remove the nut & slide the pulley off the splined shaft..
The other two pulleys
The alternator pulley is held on by a 24mm nut but has no openings to lock it against anything. Don't be tempted to poke something inside the alternator as you will damage it. Impact air wrench is probably easiest way to loosen it.
I had a new Alternator fitted not long ago at a Subaru dealer & you can see four sets of clamp marks equally spaced around the edge of the pulley. This is where they used something to hold the pulley whist it was undone.
The crank pulley has a 22mm nut & it can be undone by putting the car in 5th gear & putting the handbrake on to hold it. Foot brake can be used if needed as well.
Fitting guide.
Classic pulleys
These pulleys are the easiest to fit , simply remove old pulleys and replace with new ones then tighten bolt.
Newage pulleys
These pulleys are made to create a fine spline in the alloy as they are tightened onto the shaft.
1) Remove old pulley.
2) Spray the shaft with some WD40 or brush the shaft with some oil.
3) Place the new pulley on the shaft. It will only go half way.
4) Keeping the pulley square, place the nut back on. Tighten nut until pulley is drawn fully onto the shaft.
Bugeye pulleys
The bugeye pulleys are on a plain shaft (as shown)
You will need a puller to remove the old pulley as they are pressed on.
The new pulleys have a tapered bore - so it will start to go on the shaft at the back of the pulley.
You may be able to tap the pulley flush onto the shaft but it is recommended that they are pressed on.
Finally check the vee's line up when you put the belts back on.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
EXTRA NOTES
KEYWAYS in the crank pulleys have been made to the top limit , if you find any that are tight going on you will need to either tap down the key in the shaft or file a small bit of key out.
All the keyways in the shafts are never spot on the same, that is why we have made the keys to the top limit , if we go too high we risk making the keyway too big if the shaft only has a shallow keyway.
Fitting :- Disclaimer: This is for information only & does not claim to be complete & should not be interpreted as instructions. If in doubt seek qualified help.

I want a set of these pulleys along with a lighter fly wheel, I have A/C fitted. Does this affect fitting at all, can it just be disconnected? or does the whole system need to be removed?

All the belts go back on the same way they were so your A/C can be left just as it was.
Chris my pulleys came this morning cheers. One more to go. ETA please ?

Mine came yesterday too, thought the box might have been empty they're that light.
Don't suppose you'll be doing any gear ***** on the cnc too? Nothing fancy, just the round prodrive ally style with the gear pattern on the top.
