Question

Has anybody got any pics of the Prodrive WR rear wing, preferably in black but any colour will do. Even better if you've got the Prodrive/Sti 3 piece fron lip .

Cheers,

Tony.

Thanks Si but no i didn't mean that one. Its the 'classic' shape Impreza wing, like the one fitted to the RB5 WR.

Cheers Darren, thats exactly what i wanted. Guess that's your car, hopefully mine will look the same shortly . Are those Prodrive Superturismo alloys? If they are i have the same wheels too, spooky!

Exclamation

Can't we all see it ?

Love the Prodrive Wings, but couldn't justify the cost over an Sti/22b Rep. I also think they look to easy for the "boyz" to rip off , compared to the sti one which looks like it's held on all along (even if it's not)

I don't know of anywhere that will allow you to upload a 10MB file. It would take to long to display on most PCs anyway without a broadband connection. The pictures I posted above were about 55K each in jpg format. What format are yours?

You could always try Irfanviewer a wee program that does a very good job in converting bmp files to jpeg. I’ve converted most of the SWRT.com gallery to reduced size jpeg as most of them are about 1.5mb jpeg. Go to this link
Irfanview Information Page and Download location
Once you have it installed, Batch Convert or rename from File menu and tinker about till you find the settings that you want.

If you want more info on using it pop up a post and I’ll see what I can do.

You mean this? (yes, it's mine ) I think it looks superior to all those 2-level spoilers which I kinda dislike...

Convert them to Jpeg's that'll shrink them

My hotmail account can't receive 10mb files

Fernis - that looks absolutely gorgeous . I love the colour. I've just sold my Prodrive spoiler to Mega-stream and miss it already...it just isn't the same seeing a MY99/00 spoiler in your rear view mirror . Still roll on the STI7 .

My files are jpeg but are 600ishK each.
Guess they are high resolution.
Have sent them to avi to see if he can shrink them and post.

here is a post of mine from a while ago which is of my RB5. Not sure if it still works though.

Unhappy

Tony that was my car until August last year when I sold it, the car was a full Prodrive car including the wheels, suspension, brakes, Performance pack, PIAA lamps, front and rear spoilers, fully colour coded, induction kit and furry dice.

Those pic's are great guys!

Sadly my other half won't let me have one "it'll just draw attention to the car" ..."it'll slow it down as it creates more drag"(gettin' desparate then I think!)..."the kids'll just steal it" ...."I won't be able to see out the back window!" [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

I've tried explaining it adds at least 50bhp, but he won't listen Has anyone had instances of the rear wings being nicked/bad vision out the rear window or massive insurance increases as they got these? (need some ammo for my fight )

Hope you don't mind me asking these q's on your thread Tony!

On the visibility front, i have just test driven an STi7 with a similar big wing. Because it is so big you can see straight through the middle of it! Less obstruction than the standard spoiler on my MY99.

I am a bit of a short **** (5 foot 8).
I find that the view is a little obscured at first for the rear.
But it is great as it blocks out the majority of the headlights!!

Makes a nice touch to the car though.
Can send you some bigger piccies if you want.
