What a transformation, if they looked like that in the showroom I bet they shift a few more.

Looks good to me - agree about the ride height adjustment too.

Are you at Cadwell tomorrow Pete? See you there if so - I'm coming to spectate and pick up some bits from someone.

Had almost forgotten what she looked like!
Looking forward to saturday, fingers crossed!

Is that your one on the left that did the PE run? Looks schweet! Lights are a definite improvement!

Two thumbs up.

It looks like the frightened deer is now falling asleep

Sorry, couldn't resist, not my intention to insult anyone.

Interesting how suddenly ... the old shape Impreza starts to come out again.

Now if someone could make a different front spoiler that looks a bit less like a gaping hole with 2 lights at the side, I agree it is really starting to look like something.

Also: indeed, the ride hight makes a very big difference.

My guess is these lights are going to be sold *big time*

I think you are getting there Pete.

They look great Pete!

Any chance you can get a closer in picture?

Can you get them in DBM?

How hard are they to fit (i.e. can a muppet like me do it on my own)?

Whats the night visibility like - i really rate the standard ones!!

Have you had a chance to put your car on the Dyno yet?

Vast improvement.

Personally, I think they look better unpainted - almost looks like it's got lazy eyes - head on.

From the side, it looks cool.

The morettes will be £350 quid(ish) fitted & painted, aparrently. I was asking about them in the dealers (cheam) on tuesday.
That's with the headlamp adjusters.

Big improvement. I saw some pictures of the new STI fitted with the Morrettes - looks miles better. I wonder how many of these will be fitted as 'standard' when they leave the dealers?

What a vast improvement. Top marks to Morrette for doing it so quick, they're gonna clean up methinks!

Russell.
Only the new STi has Brembo's as standard I think?

The ride height drop could make more difference, and the lights now make it a "snarling" face rather than a "glum" face - the shape of the radiator intake is flipped from the MY00 which is a "happy" shape.

I hope someone understands what I'm blithering on about. I'll get me coat.

The silver car belongs to Mr Footlong. Its having some new locating clips fitted to the spoiler. Nick, your spoiler is in the boot at the moment

P1 lights? You have to fight me in the street before I'd give up my HID Hellas. You being a lot bigger than me, I'm sure I would quickly see the error of my ways

I was going to leave the car with its bug eyes, but thought I would see what the twin jobbies were like. I do like it, it looks much meaner. I haven't used them at night yet, but will be converting the dip beam to HID. The light units fitted are the latest Cibie lenses... a projector for the dip and basically a spot for main beam.

So, how much are we looking at for all the bits;

Headlights (colour coded and fitted)
Ridehight/suspension upgrade
WRC type rear wing (colour coded and fitted)

Just so I can start to plan, because I think it's looking very good.
