My Bugeye STi Prodrive
A few snaps of my bugeye STi Prodrive Style.
Before I bought it the sideskirts were annoying me, annoying that much I traced it's history through owners even to Subaru UK - they confirmed it as a genuine Prodrive Styled STi, a very very early Press car which is the reason for non Prodrive Side Skirts (but they confirm it left the factory with the skirts as pictured - so I am on the lookout to have the f"correct ones fitted.
Looking for pointers on styling....
Change the alloys to Gold? (until winter passes then 18" Prodrive)
Decal - front to STi Pink?
Mudflaps - Blue or Black? STi or Prodrive decal?
Wing Inserts - Carbon, Smoked or Body Coloured?
Debadge Rear? - All, some?
Anyway, the car in question.......

Looks lovely mate.
Change the skirts if you can to the Prodrive edition twisted ones. Id add some smoked side repeaters and some carbon wing inserts. Id leave the front graphics as they are and lower it slightly.
Lose the graphics on the mudflaps too. Car looks so clean and fresh with little changes
I too have a Prodrive edition

Hmmmm
So the general concensus is leave the wheels as is?
I really hated them at first, but they are now growing on me with the contrast of the Gold Calipers showing though.
It had new Prodrive Struts/Springs recently, so what spring is recomended for lowering slightly without upsetting the ride/handling?
Mudflaps - I was thinking decent Scoobyworld ones in Black, with the Prodrive logo at the bottom in silvery/grey and blue.
I'm going to order Carbon Wing inserts with the STi logo, Xenons and also have a smaller front plate fitted.
Then after christmas, a light tune (exhaust/remap at least) - as the standard exhaust isn't "Subaru" enough for me.
Cheers for the comments.

Nice bug matey.
Enjoy the car.
I'd see about getting the sideskirts change to the prodrive ones.
For alloys. Depends how bold you want to go mate. What about at a set of whilte alloys?
Blue flaps in plan mate not letters etc.
