Ring performance creations. Don't email. Its good to talk.
Mine are their normal ones but 4mm and the newer design. Cost about 70pounds.

That front lip from asia looks a photo of an original and not a photo of what they're selling.

I think I will hang off ordering the lip for the moment, I agree that it looks like they have just ripped photographs off the internet rather than show their own.

I will try to give Performance Creations a call later on today but I do like the moulded design of the Rally Armor OE flaps as well.

Looking good Daz, I agree that you need to change out the fog lamp lens for a clear item, I am also thinking about losing some of the rear badges and just leaving the STi badge in place.

If you are interested in it my STi silencer and centre section is going to be swopped out soon, I will let you know when if you want.

I thought my rear tints would hide the fog but the same as you looks like i will have to buy the clear one and re tint it.

A bit of an odd question but does anyone know where to source plain centre caps suitable for Prodrive GT2 wheels? They have an outer diameter of 54mm and a mounting point into the wheel centre which is 45mm.

I have tried eBay but I cannot really find anything suitable other than caps suitable for BMW Mini's.

I'm waiting for details of a range of very reasonably priced Hatchback STi front splitters which should be available on a group buy should there be enough interest.

Details and pics to follow.

I don't think they are available any longer, but I'll ring my local dealer to ask if they can still be bought.

You were correct, I've ordered 12 as I don't want to end up in a situation like the PFF7 centre caps.

That's the thing I suppose about believing everything you read on the Internet.

I'll get mine lacquered and coated in order to stop the corrosion from getting at them and ruining the finish.

Yes i would, the si-drive mode won't make any difference re. the map, that's just the throttle response.

I think if it were going to fail then it would have done so well before now, we all know that the 2.5 engine has problems but not every car is affected.

I'm sure running on low octane fuel doesn't help plus driving like a c#@t will help to accelerate any failure.

Just a sticky back mate, just gave it a wipe with a solvent and just followed the plastic edging around took about 2 minutes! Nice easy little mod
