i know this aint the right place to pos tthis but as hatch owners will look here then i'm sure they will be of interest
these were removed by the dealer from my brand new car as I had other parts fitted:
the car has 13 miles on the clock to give you an indication of the use they've had.
- STI springs
- STI Backbox
- STI front grille
- Standard 6sp gear shift (i had the quickshift fitted)
no idea on their worth so email me your interest @ chairman@rb5oc.co.uk

Nice car chap
You said you have the Prodrive springs on. What do you think of them?? Do they drop the car much? I contacted my dealer only the other week to see if the springs were available but they said no. How long ago did you get them? Also if you don't mind how much are they and what did the dealer charge to fit them?
I was really hoping to fit these before our trip to Litchfield so they would have time to settle before getting them to do my laser alignment
Cheers

Wellcome Azir to the 08/09 subaru section
Great looking car and excellent price too
Have you read up on the reflash that you might need being a euro import should be £40 aprox for a local dealer to do it.
fantastic spec compared to the uk modles you have there

tell your dealer he's a **** and he's obviously useless at his job, here's pics of the rear springs on mine, the fronts didnt have visible PRODRIVE on so must have been in the cup of the strut

After cleaning, polishing, waxing and protecting the calipers, i did the same to the wheels, then fitted them yesterday, I love the look.
Colour and style of wheel has totally transformed the car, cant wait to get the tints and c/f roof spoiler
I had a look at fitting my lower lip spoiler taken from my hawkeye, they changed the bloody fixing method (which looks a lot better btw) but f'in annoying for me!!!

Hi Azir
I have the same model as you. Got mine from motor depot S****horpe.
BBS 18' wheels, sat nav, rear tinted windows, Recaro front seats and push button start are what you have extra over the Type UK.
What you don't get is a cat 1 alarm and tracker.
You'll also need your ECU updating which can be done by a Subaru dealer under warranty

Bulbs please
Hi RB5 286
Where did ya get the LED side lights bulbs from ? Presumably bright white as compared to the standard yellow hue.
Also did you change the spot light bulbs (yellowey again) ? For what ?
Gotta say it is really outrageous when Subaru sell a car like these with the 17" mini wheels - looks like a proton or something .... but then with 18" - my o my - transformation.
(I got the 18" silver BBS on mine).
Thanks
Apostle

Just had mine remapped under warranty, took 30 minutes and I was away, Waldonway, Larkfield are always happy to to work on EU Imports for anyone who needs theirs done.
Whilst I was there thought it would be rude not to prchase a few items from the accessory book, fogs being the main item, cannot wait to fit them along with front mesh which I will be ordering in a minute!!

If its got a tracker you should have some paper work and certificate.
Talking of paper work have you got your manuals yet?
I only knew to look out for these because my previous WRX was a euro import too.
I had to pay extra to have the tracker alarm fitted

Mesh, went for the Zunsport mesh that fits the stock grill, originally wanted the Subaru option mesh but thought Silver Mesh on a silver car was not for me so went for the black. Was tempted by your new grill but quite liked the
silver accent on the stock grill, especially as it matches the silver on the fogs.
Did notice though yesterday that the new fogs have some mesh in which now won't match my new grills, grrr.
