I tidied the engine bay up a little today after fitting my Perrin radiator shroud, RallyTech bolt kit (Really disappointed as loads missing) and intercooler cover. Well worth the effort!

Marks were 70% so room to improve , haven't done any track sort of driving in a few years now so still a bit rusty and getting used to the different settings the hatch has but all in all a really good day out

I'm having trouble finding the original splitter my WRX-S is supposed to have from factory. When I got the car there was no splitter there, so I need to find one, any ideas ?

Not as such as they are a Subaru UK add on.

When my originals came off due to frost damage I obtained a couple under warranty. (although never fitted)

You would need to inquire with Subaru UK direct or though a dealer as to their availability.

Looking every bit their 5 years of age.
Unable to separate the backing paper without damage.

Rob Ostle (rob84) may be a useful source for this

I'd be interested in a pair of these also. Although there's already alot going on on the rear windows already. A subaru stamp inside and out , a large sticker telling me about central double locking , and another large "isr" sticker. Does the International Security Register have any real use ? Is it a subscription thing or in any way a deterrent to thief's?
Might just pull them off and put the Type UK on , seeing mine are completely missing !

That pic might be enough to be able to recreate them as i couldnt find a template online as such. Would you be able to measure dimensions of it? Like total length/height off Type, then of UK?

Cheers,
Craig

Managed to gently remove the transfer paper off of one of them without doing too much damage...



The overlap between TYPE and UK vertically is about 2mm

Seem to be a metallic grey colour rather than silver


Nearest type face I've found is evolver

R205 suspension setup now on the car, feels amazing, still nice and firm but without the harshness you tend to get with coilover setups.

Just beware if you go for it and order them, there are many sundry items to order on top like top mounts, spacers, spring seats, helpers, dust covers and nuts and bolts.

Also interested in this , nearly bought a kit off ebay for "grey" which seemed to have a few shades you must mix. I chickened out , thought I'd maybe make it worse !
For your info , Leather Lab near me quoted £90 to fully restore the leather on my drivers seat. They seem to work miracles but dont think mines bad enough to warrent the price just yet.

OK so I am one of a few owners on here of a WRX-'S which was a limited edition run with a bit of Prodrive magic sprinkled on it. I have tried to find out how limited the production run was but haven't found any info yet. Any body have any info or links, all I can find are contemporary reviews that all mention the limited edition status but don't say how limited.

I was having a play on "how many left" and it shows 262 registered. With a maximum of 275 since production started. If that's correct then it's rarer than a P1! Ha ha!

I am aware there may be many that were registered as WRX.
Any info greatly welcome. CHEERS
