I've got a K&N panel filter for 2009 hatch, used a couple of thousand miles before I fitted the AEM induction kit and got mapped.

Whats it worth?

Think it was about £38 new from Euro car parts?

Postage would be a couple of quid, interested @ £25 all in???

I see. The BOV didnt have the right mounting plate for the Impreza, just like Rob said.

Anyone knows where to get a complete hybrid BOV kit for my car?

Thanks!

Not sure on 19's, usually 2 psi higher at the front, so 33/31 or 34/32 work OK.

I've seen in painted gloss black before, I'd stay away from wrapping especially if you pop on a bigger exhasut as the heat from the tail pipes will melt the wrap, my new 4" H&S pipes melted the paint on MY11 so vinyl would have gone in an instant.

Thats a good point. Do you know if the diffuser is easy to remove? Do you have to take the whole bumper off?

I have one similar fitted, its the same as the CS400 front grill. The black was a bit of a mistake, I thought I was getting the lower mesh, but I think it's turned out alright...Name:  car_zps19db7de8.jpg
