If that's a genuine GB270, then a previous custodian has put a regular STi spoiler on it.

The OEM one is quite unique looking...

Ah, it's a regular UK WRX with GB270 bits and bobs.

(That's why it also hasn't got the mesh front grilles).

They aint always easy to find in the right colour and can make top money, strange that the original advert clearly states chrome front grills but the car don't have them, confused.com lol unless you have already swapped them for the black grills in the pics?

Sorry mate, I made a (wrong) assumption based on the wording in the ad and the missing GB270 items.

Nice mote... But please reinstate the OEM features (spoiler, grilles, etc... )

6x9’s are so 90’s and all the messing of cutting and chopping etc just not with it
You’ll be much better satisfied replacing components in the doors to be honest
And a nice sub in the boot

I replaced all four with jl audio items and a bootbuild pod for the sub in the boot which leaves a lot of boot space
Alpine speakers are good to as I ran them in my previous scoob

Nice car
will Defo look much better with the gb270 spoiler on for sure it’s like a main feature a part of the cars character if you wil
The sti one just doesn’t cut it would suit a lesser car for modification purposes not a gb270 that was made with these features on as genuine/standard
I’d swap my sti spoiler for a gb270 one anyday they worth more aswell

The gb270 spoiler is hard to obtain but there’s one in eBay right now I’d grab it then get it sprayed in summers if I was in your position
On gb270 the rear and front lip kit and spoiler are the main features in my opinion

I thought something didn't look quite right, the lack of the correct spoiler and front lip/grille would explain it.

Nice car though, have always liked these GB270's.
