Cool

Looks better without a spoiler IMO, it's individual.

Yes I must admit that looks very smooth and clean compared to some of the monster wings I see all the time.

BTW I drive a wagon!!

Good to see this car back on Scoobynet!

I think it looks great w/o its spoiler, real understated and stealthy - nice

i'm guessing, but is it on coilovers???

Looks pretty low. I've got the same wheels as those, speedline's but mine don't look half as good as it does on your lowered scoob!!

where did you get the fog lamp covers and how much??

Cheers

adroy,

they are the original sti covers (its an sti5) with the stickers peeled off. i hate stickers and spoilers you see. the wheels are actually 18" x 8" compomotive mo's with 225x35x18 avs's. yes it has the leda b's (450lb/275lb) running -1.5deg camber all round. sticks like glue and doesn't scrape the arches.

stu.

Kippax,

Maybe I haven't seen your car before. There's definitely been a silver 4 door (as far as I can remember it was an STi) on here without its rear spoiler. I've a feeling that the chap was from a Scandinavia somewhere.

Probably about a year ago now...

Kippax,

No it wasn't me - despite first impressions, there are quite a few Scooby drivers round here!

my aerial is on the pillar above the door (std). The boot aerial ruins the clean lines of your car. Dont put a bee sting on it,id have to shoot you :-)

It is, but mine is a 2 door. I thought you've taken off the spoiler to clean it up,so why not the aerial. Sorry,it was only an idea.

thanks for the rest of the comments.

paul - no offence taken m8 i completely see you point. i'd have to fill the hole and respray the quarter panel. too much hassle.

P.S. it disappears when you play a CD

Thumbs up

Am I the first to say, I'll buy your STi5 spoiler

Nice car, does the STi5 have alluminium (sp??) bonnet and boot lid?

Is the car standard engine-wise (I'm looking at STi5's you see )

Cheers

mega,

spoiler sold when i bought the car i'm affraid. ally bonnet, definately steel bootlid.
you might remember ian sutton from sidcup who used to be on the bbs. he imported it and i bought it from him.he modded the engine (link, ssport, hks etc) and i did the suspension (leda's, cusco, poweflex, etc). i rekon it's about 300bhp but not dyno'd yet.

stu.
