Thought I hadnt seen it before (not that I know all the scoobs on here or anything ), looks from the back, you dont see many with kits on or at least kits that dont look like they've fallen off a rack at Halfrauds.

Looks good that (for a newage ), have you put an upper rear wing from an 06 on?

From the 2 pics, looks really good, not sure what you mean about the aquired taste

Definatly the sti wing IMO, don't like those carbon wings (like the ones on the S202 etc) they look a bit "billy bolt on" to me.

this is the one i have and i love it. many people ask me why i dont put the original one and i always reply that i like the unique look nobody around here has one of these

although i have my eyes on this sweet little thing

it is just too much for my pocket. here in greece the charge speed dealer is asking for 1200 euros. i am sure the dealer in uk would come up with a more reosanable price. what do you guys say, can we run a group buy on this?

Have a look in Group buys - V5 is trying to get some interest in a replica S203 wing - now that would be different

I like the S202 wing - had one on the wrx and good if you prefer the GT look over rally slag

Personally I think the carbon spoiler would suit your car better, I do like the standard STi spoiler but it'd be nice to see something different!

Why buy the Carbon wing, if you don't know whether to fit it or not??? Waste of money if you don't fit it.


For me, I'd stick with the original, and take off those skirts. Look a little Max Pawer to me. My opinion of course.

From what I can see, I think it looks like quite a tasteful & "clean" looking kit which looks good in the white.

More pics required...

IMHO I would say keep the spoiler thats on the car. It's your call though.

I must have a drive-by to have a look to see how it looks now the kit is on. I had wondered why it wasn't on the drive, now I know.

Mmmmmmmmmm, Me likes the Chargespeed kit
