Thumbs up

Winmoz - really enjoying your vids! The GTR and M3 ones are esp good.

Good thread this, plenty of info and I must say im loving the hatch now. One year ago I never thought I would say that but now im scouring this thread and have the new sti brochure sitting next to me Saw a black WRX-S parked up last week and couldn't believe how good it looked in the flesh. Even the girlfriend thought so!

Will give the dent man a call on Tuesday Stan. I'm happy to put some colour into the stone chips on the day, it's not a Chips away finish but it'll take your eye off them

Default How to de-tango?

So I like the idea of getting rid of the orange bulbs like some of you guys have, but can anyone tell me where I can get the right bulbs?

I Know I can get the clear rear fog light lens from Revolution (I'm sure many other places too), but I don't know where to start with the other lights (part numbers etc)

Thanks,
M

The indicators are WY21W and the sidelights are W5W, I think.

I don't think the free W5Ws are LED, just normal bulbs with a blue coating.

Instead of hunting around I would just speak to Revolution mate, that's where I got mine from. They are very helpful and becuase they have a MY08 STI they know all the bulb fitments etc.

Guys,

Midichlorian suggested that we might like to get our ugly mugs in the pages of some Impreza type mags as we are guessing we will be taking a fair few pictures on the day.

I don't have any contacts for any Jap mags (still got some good ones for Minis though) so if anyone knows a friendly journo, please either point them my way or drop them a line about Saturday and see if they want some user generated copy and photos of the day.

Cheers

W

Loads of nice looking mods you are doing mate, lovin the prodrive on the grill and the black surrounds look much better. I don't like the silver ones, but now I've seen yours I would get a set and paint them black
