Local shop didn't seem interested as it's such a small piece so figured out would sort it myself.

18x8 is the only size that Sparco has in 5x100. No big deal for me since I'll be getting another set of wider wheels for autox.

Cost me about £55 plus £11ish tax and duties.
Fog covers arrived from the states today, less than a week to get here and no import duty (for once).

Won't be going on for a while but did not want to miss out on a bargain.

Cheers for the heads up on these Stevie.

The WRX has a wide body in the States etc in both hatch and saloon variants, if they sold them like that here I'm sure IM would have shifted a lot more.

Hughy, your car is GORGEOUS and your exhausts are the best looking ones I have seen for the STi saloon.

Are these exhausts part of the 340R pack?

Every where else they had a choice of saloon or Hatch. We could only have hatch. They could get WR Blue but not us.

Well their strategy seems to have succeeded ;( sales in the Uk went from 8,000 per year to 38

Iirc IMHO

Hughy, Your car is awesome mate, I'll admit I was not a big fan of the plasma blue when he had demos in that colour but seeing yours with the subtle styling mods has changed my mind. Good work

Guys as for the rear boot trim, when that's removed does it expose anything that will make it easy to break in or allow water in etc. Just trying to work out if I can take it off and send it away and not have to worry about the car.

You will have to disconnect the licence plate lights and boot opening button from inside the car.

This will leave you with 4 mounting holes and if I remember correctly a couple of grommet holes for the wiring.
