The scoop on the STi looks a bit excessive - you'll be picking dead sparrows off yer intercooler on every run. 
And I still think the standard WRX front bumper looks a bit bland, I think it's because the driving lamps have been set right back into it.

I think the new front end looks very R34 Skyline GTR... Are you talking about the new scoop? I think it looks alright, it had to be changed at some point!!

Looks even better in the flesh, much more aggressive than bug eye.
Power increase on standard WRX to 225bhp and improved throttle response. Rev counter now in the middle on all models. Improved suspension across the range.
Can't wait to get my first demo.

Wot a car, it looks way better than my bug eye i have just sold. I will be placing my order. I bet it looks great up close. Imagine that thing coming up behind you in your rear view. Would scare the hell out of you.
Nice pics mate.

The scoop is from the WRX.
The rally car intercooler is not a top mount it's a front mount. So it's only for show. By using the WRX scoop they get less drag effect on the car.

Tell me why does the Rally car headlight NOT feature the abmer indicator, whereas the Sti, the rally cars road version have an amber indicator showing

I think I'll need to see it in the flesh.
Lights are an improvement on the standard WRX, but don't look any better than a set of Morettes or those fitted to the STi's.
Front bumper is way too fussy, and the bonnet scoop on the STi looks like it's been nicked from a drag car - the Nova boys will be able to take the pi$$ with us now !!!!!!!!!!!
They could have done better.
On the WRC car the scoop is on top of the panel filter.

Nice pics Ian, I think it looks much better than the Fugly, I almost prefer the simpler standard WRX than the STI but need to see both in same colour to decide. I reckon it will look very good in black but then I like the black ones (as a Cat owner I am biased). I still don't like the downturned radiator grill, I prefer the smiley classic to the sulky new age.
I would go for you being the one with the tank top Ian!?

Looks good but I prefer the bumper on the rally car than the STi and why do they have to make the spoiler hang over the back it looks stupid, it would be better if it was flush with the back of the bootlid IMHO 
Just my 2p worth.
