at my works
i think i can use the touch up pen on it, wiped it clean and there are some black dots of the plastic showing.
there are a bunch of retards that cannot drive transit minibuses at the back of my place, they almost took the rear shutter/doors off once, when i asked them were they sure, 'she' denied it, so i asked he why half the wing mirror was hanging in our doorway and the rest of it flung forward on the van?!?!?
its take a risk on the corner off street off on the main road bumped on the kerb
used to have a nice car park but there are 3 houses now it it place
have just modded my bumper vents, filled them with black matte vinyl, took the time to make a template so it fits nice but a real bugger to get in the exact position to start with.
Oh and the R205 badge

Would have thought most of it would jet off.

The car was in for a few days for a "few bits" and all were fitted without any fuss as ever by my local dealer - Ian Grieve Subaru, Falkirk (Scotland)
Unfortunately I have had to hand back the car which must surely give the Impreza Cosworth a run for it's money - the 1.5R Impreza which makes the performance of my car seem like it has broken down on the road
:P
Seriously, here's some pics of some bits:
Double Height Centre Console Box
Subaru Rear Parking Sensors including organising painting at a local bodyshop
Prodrive Spring Kit including a full 4 wheel alignment at a local specialist (7 problems with alignment before fixing highlighted on settings sheet)
BEFORE:
AFTER:
Prodrive Performance Pack
Car drives well, handles well and sounds better too. Well worth the effort.
Also had the STI Quickshift fitted on the car too (which is very "snicky") and due to get the Interior Dimming Mirror done when one backorder part comes in.
Feels like a different car with the 18's, PPP, Quick Shift and Spring Kit & Settings.
All recommended.

It seems very good - not ridiculous small movements and it is pretty much the entire top section of the linkage judging by the bits I got back - from the gear shaft down to the gaiters and the link underneath...
If you want I'll get a pic of the old one in the box for you?

yes but you'd really want 8.5 x 18's

Not found that at all - the difference is very subtle and it's not the same mechanism as before I believe (which was a single pole replacement or whatever it was).
It is a bit stiffer but feels more positive and less "wooly" if you get my meaning.
Quick shift Gear Change (6MT)<br><br>
Quickshift is £275.87 (list price) and the labour was something like 1.5 hours - my labour cost was £94.50 + VAT. All of that is minus my SIDC discount so maybe around £350

I reckon the STi back box will go on my WRXD, just wondering about the best way to get a 'hole' over on the left hand side of the rear diffuser for the extra pipes to exit.. Does anyone know if the WRX rear diffuser is removable? Or if the STi one will fit??

I need to look closer in the dry Simon, but it looks like the Diesel back box is the same as the petrol WRX.... If so the back box will go on as Paul did it on his WRXS.. The lack of hole for the left pair of pipes is the issue!
We're only talking axle back though as the front section of the exhaust, manifold and cats are definitely different!
