dont think its black black, more a dark grey alcantara.

Dont be getting suede, it actually wears being leather. Alcantara is a lot more durable (man made fibre) and just needs cleaned/brushed

 

New Prodrive wheels with fresh Uni-royal Rainsport 3's, great wet/winter tyre for the money

 

was going to say Alcantera but assumed it would be suade. If you'd a choice would u have got black ?

 

nah black would be too dark in it, wouldn' blend with rest of interior imo

 

I have the Heko ones. They created a little bit of wind noise compared to without. The retaining clip does slightly damage the rubber seals. After a year the rear ones have slipped down "very slightly" as the tape lost its stick.

I like the look of them and the fact that you can leave the windows open in the heat or rain.

However the biggest problem I have with them is that in the dark/winter the drivers one is dangerous as you can't see cyclists or roundabout kerbs down by the mirror. I now take that one off in the winter. The shape is different compared to yours as they don't taper away to nothing, but go down to the door.

 

am i the only one who doesnt like them?

 

Do like the flocking must say mate

 

Took less than 10mins to fit

 

Do the hatches have heated mirrors as mine dont clear

 

As far as im aware they dont

 

They should come on with the wiper de-icer and the rear "defogger"

MY08 UK mirror wiring

 

Explains why mine are never frosted 😂 they don't seem to demist very well though

 

Mine must be broke as even with rear demister on after 10mins mirrors are still iced up

 

side walls not too soft? Was thinking of getting these but read this was a major criticism?

 

The side wall issue hasn't ever bothered me tbh as I've always gone for the XL (extra load) tyres. They are softer than say an AD08R but for everyday use they great imo

 

I bought a set this year. 245/35/19
Side walls????
They're XL anyway.

At £118 a corner fitted, I'm happy.

I do 3k a year... Split between two sets of alloys.

Do I need Michelin super sport pilot at £200+ a tyre???

They'd perish before I'd wear them out.

 

rainsport 3's on mine at the minute and whilst yes the sidewall of the tyre is a little soft than say my old bridgestones/toyos they are hard to beat for wet weather driving and in daily use you'll not be annoyed by it. £118 seems pricey though I'm near sure I paid closer to £88 each for mine so may be worth shopping around.

 

18s are quite a bit cheaper than 19s

 

ahhhhhh and my 17's were cheaper cheaper again!

 

I’ve always used Goodyear f1’s and they’ve been excellent. Last front set lasted me 3yrs

Does anyone know where to buy a Brake Stopper bracket for the 08 STI RHD from?

 

Tarmacsportz sell a Perrin one

 

CUSCO part number is 692 561 A

Part box is supposed to be the UK CUSCO dealer but don't list it - maybe they can order you one in??

https://www.part-box.com/cusco#/make...r=ASC/limit=30

Rallitek list it as a universal BCS ????

Found this stuck to the plastic trim in my boot has a switch on it


Anyone know what it is for

 

Possibly something to do with your reversing sensors??
Not OEM.
