Thanks Granby...ended up getting the fog covers from Walldonway, as you suggested. They were a lot of help.

Thanks again

Am i missing something here.....Why stick sti stickers on your wrx.
If you want an sti do what i did and chop the wrx in and buy the real thing
Hope you have told your insurance company or they will have your life in the event of a claim.

Nice car all the same.

Would love to do the same to mine.

Cheers KB.

Dan...If you order the splitter and side aeros from Scott Lowe, he'll do the aero's at cost. £299 all in, inc delivery.

Why is there negativity towards improving the looks with a few Sti badge/stickers.... I like it. Not trying to make it an Sti.....just improving the looks.

You can hardly call putting stickers and badges on a parts upgrade,
I would call it cosmetic.
Each to their own i suppose.
