Agree about the mini scoop. Only change of vents that look good are 22b ones

Looks like the general consensus is before then Matty
lol
Maybe darker (black) would look ok against the white (which is what I text you the other day) but seeing it now then for me, before would also be my choice

Good point that. Spray them gloss black and have another look. may look a lot better. White just too much. Or get them carbon wrapped!

Before for me too, those headlights might look ok on a darker coloured car but not a white one.

Had the DR Motorsport 22B replicas on my previous 93 WRX's pre-facelifted bonnet -- sooo much better than the OEM 'shark gills, er, grilles' lol.
But really like the OEM vents on the facelifted bonnet - look mean. Matty do you still have it? If so refit it in place of that abortion of a mini scoop.

Basically, get it back to OEM!
Oh and fit a v.5/6 protruding front grille too -- looks more aggressive than the v.3/4's flatter job.

Sounds like you have some good plans there, I wasn't a fan of the grill or scoop to be honest but I wasn't going to slate your car without being asked
A version 5 or 6 grill will fit and it'll look sweet

The problem with those particular twin lights is that there is TOO much surround and not enough light lens!
That's where the genuine Morettes score - much nicer looking with their bigger, more close together lenses.
