Thats the Subaru kit although now looking closer at the white one its not the same.
Original Subaru Aero kit:


After market kit of unknown origin:



I am guessing its an aftermarket kit but cant find any information on it at all.
Looks like a copy which has been changed slightly to avoid legal issues with Subaru.

It looks amazing though

Any help on ID'ing this ?

Glad you like it I don't lol, I really want to get the original back on, don't think this style of bumper suits the spec c.

As far a I can see it is bonded on over the orginal front bumper, so I think it would be impossible to remove, it would just be a straight bumper swap to remove.

The original is better......its got sharper lines and has bit more detail within the design.......the copy is just to rounded for me.....but then again I'm about my c's

BTW the Spec c bumper is just a standard WRX saloon bumper, last time i checked they were 204 + vat from Subaru (unpainted).......

Yeah I was hoping a white one might come up for sale at some point, if it don't I think that will be the route i will go down.

should be atleast 4 red ones, one in cheshire with 44k on the clock (teacher owner), yours, one with 168k on the clock that one of the guys has on type-ra and atleast 1 other from litchfield which is still around (has the reg plate before mine).
Total production of 1000, not sure of the split but it would be something like 300 red, 300 white 400 blue, need to find the brochure again on line.

Driven a few scoobs before, my last one was a bug wrx running sti longblock with avcs, big brakes, lots of prodrive bits, had it about 5 years until an accident last month, was a good car but it's not a patch on this, power delivery and handling is somethin else, really lucky to find it.

Thats a minter ,Looks great with the BBS's alloys. You are most lucky to find one I have been on the hunt for another one just not had any luck yet.

Speak to Ian Litchfield or powerstation they sometimes have some RE070's knocking about

standard, I think they are supposed to be 280ish with simaler torque but usually a bit more than that, mine has just had a panel filter, 3 port boost solenoid, exhaust and an Ecutek3 map all done by poweratation/litchfields and is now pushing out 357bhp/358lbft, with max torque at 3500, just wants to keep on pulling, cant fault it in anyway.

will check with litchfields about tyres, they must have some coming off some new imports sometime in the near future, cheers guys, gaz.

Out of the box they are quoted at 280ps/290lbs torque, they normally push more than this though

Does look like an excellent example, most ended up with 300-320 bhp as standard

These cars are in a different league
