Got some on mine bud, took about 20mins each side to fit, you have to drill pilot holes through the OEM plastic skirt, then attach with the clips provided.
They come with a black finish which was okay, but I gave mine a coat of satin black & laqured.

Had on my old hatch and also on my new saloon, nice bit of kit, infact the whole HT bottom line kit really improves the looks.

Rear spats don't fit when you have the chrome exhaust trim extensions though. Does look good on the sides. Might look into it now.

Hi mate can I just ask where you got the smoked tail lights from? Been after some for my car to go better with the dark gray color but couldn't find much! Cheers

Did them myself, I did order some overlays from a local sign maker,but they never turned up, so I removed the lights & tinted them myself, half a days work if that.

Gents,
What is the widest tyre I can run on my BBS 18" wheels, without any rubbing, currently have 245/45/18 fitted, on my 08 330s running standard suspension.
Thanks in advance.
Mark.

265 must tram line terribly. I know my 19's aren't the best for driving compared to 17's

Quick one - the mounting bolt on the alternator of my 330S has been tightened so tight, that it will not move and feels like it will shear off the head if I force it.
It's the long one the alternator "pivots" on when adjusting the belts.

What size spec is this bolt, and where would I get one from?
Dealer only part???

Thanks

Small 'STI, SUBARU TECNICA INTERNATIONAL' badges, just big enough to cover the Heko engraving. Sorry Phil, don't have any close ups, i'll see if I can get some for you.

Very similar to these:

I'm sure I spotted your motor at the bellfield interchange a while ago. Do you use Gaz @ GI Motorsport ?

By the way your car is stunning ;-)

I know Gaz. Used him a few times but it wasn't him who built my car. He did help put a temp map on the car so I could drive it up to Andy forrest
Yeah I stay 2 mins from that round about.
What mods do you have on the car ?

Not as many as your at the moment the only mods engine wise apart from the Prodrive pack are a pro r filter and a H & S style quad pipe cat back. Once my wife gives birth and funds allow I'm wanting to forge it and get rid of the bloody plastic top mount and get a bigger turbo on it lol I want more power but wife thinks its fast enough most folk when I ask about what to next tuning wise to my hatch say sell it and buy a STI :-(
