Has anybody fitted exhaust trims available for the sti to a wrx rear bumper? I am fitting a blitz nur spec to my08 wrx and will need to cut the bumper on both sides to take the new exhaust, and i was thinking about sticking a pair of surrounds on to tidy it up?

 

I know someone running one of these with excellent results!

 

I don't know if they will fit but I've got a set for sale if you're after them! I bought them for my STi but then decided not to fit

 

Are they the stainless ones from subaru?
I am preferably looking at the black ones from scoobyworld they are a bit more subtle and are a lot cheaper!
But i wouldn't rule out the stainless ones for the right price

 

They're the genuine stainless ones. I had intended to put them on but my car is black with black wheels so wanted to keep a stealthy black look.

 

You can make them fit as a lot of the wrx owner use them when upgrading to the quad STI exhaust, they need to cut a whole on the other side for the second exit and use thes eto tidy up the opening.

 

Can i still join? my wife and i are getting a 57 plate Hatch tonight!

 

Have you seen any fitted in the flesh? I dont want a car that looks like it ramraided Halfords!

 

Yes plenty (of STI's), really depends on colour of the car as to how much they stand out, I never went for them on mine but they are ideal on a WRX as make the new outlet look oem.

I know of a few that have painted them black so the do they job but are nice and subtle!

 

I hope so, mines a 57 reg too. Congrats on the purchase, get some pics up

 

Cheers think i will give it a go and maybe make a small thread when i fit them see how it goes!

 

Guys anyone provide a good link or company for coilovers?

Time to upgrade me thinks - cheers in advance.

Hatch Sti 08

 

I did this to my WRX's when I had it and it looked spot on pal.....

 

Pics are up in my garage of 'Yabba'

 

I've just put another set of bc coilovers on mine from Scooby world around £690 +p&p

my last bc coilovers had been on nearly 5 years & covered nearly 60k good value for money

 

They look spot on
Did you bond them on and was it difficult?

 

Did you buy them new or used and how much are you looking for them?

 

Cheers mate - big improvement when you put them on? (original set I mean)

 

yep big improvement over std ! great value for money like I say been on ni on 5yrs been through a few wrc wales rally stages & keilder forest stages when marshalling , handles like on rails & u can set ride height & 32 rebound settings so as hard or soft as u like

if you look @ other makes prices go silly ! eibach / bilstein £1500+ teins about !1000 so depends how deep your pockets r

 

Got few plans buddy so this is just 1 of 3-4 things on my shopping list, so good coilovers at reasonable price is my aim

 

Time to buy pads. Anyone got links to a decent set of rears and fronts?

or what Brand?

 

Ian at Godspeed

 

Godspeed Kevlar pads get good reviews.

 

EBC NDX are great.
Got mine from Ian at Godspeed.
Only EBC pads I would use.

Else Mintex ( 1155 ), Ferodo ( 2500 ) .. depends on your driving style and how hard you are on the brakes.

 

Guys I'm looking into painting my interior door handles, do I have to remove the whole door card just to get the silver bit off?

Thanks

 

No, one small screw in the bottom I f the grab handle and then pry up from the front if I recall.

 

Did mine, filler primed


Fresh paint and lacquer


And all fitted again

 

Black is much better than the silver.

 

how long before it scratches back down to the original?

 

In 18 months it never marked once!
