to be honest mate it looks nice already, but possibly some sti front bumper spats and side skirts, zunsport grills (black versions) would also suit it.

only other thing is it looks a bit high so coilovers or lowering springs.
front splitters and diffusers also suit blobs but depends on your budget etc.

datuck

thanks thats some good tips, but i cant find any spats anywhere there impossible to find. i do agree it does look quite high whats the best/cheapest springs for a blobeye to get. thinking of a sunstrip in black of course but dont know if it would be to much.

try a breakers for the spats, theres a few stis on here being broken, depending on budget etc, you could either get lowering springs or coilovers, not a fan of sunstrips personally and im pretty sure they are an mot failure now.

datuck

so all i need is the springs? i see they r quite cheap on ebay but would worrie how low they would make the car. i love the fact bumps are a thing of the past and wouldnt want to take that away from the car too much. do u think Adjustable Suspension is way to go? and how do u adjust it once on the car..

ive asked alot of people on ebay breaking there car if they will sell me there spats. but they only want to sell the whole front bumper as they will be left a wrx bumper with holes in.

if wipers touch it, looks nice btw the car that is , a little high though

datuck

yeah same, i bought those winglets a couple days ago i couldnt help myself just got the sti side skirts off a guy selling them on here he was asking only £75. waiting for them to be delivered how long did it take for your winglet to arrive. im pretty excited lots to do now, all i want it the sti front splitter now i will pm u my email m8.

datuck

ive got some red spray and was thinking of putting the sti on my intercooler haha. prob look abit naff tho! i know people with hatch scoobys do it as it doesn't have the sti print.

datuck

it is a fail if the wiper blades touch it but ive got a good friend that does mot's

any other ideas fella, as above someone mentioned defis or similar gauges.
these look good if you get the pod that replaces the clock in the centre of the dash

datuck

yes true getting it dropped asap, how much do u think i should go? bearing in mind i want to be able to go over speed bumps 20mm?

tubbytommy

iTrader: (20)

20mm is fine,mines about that but i have coilovers so cant be sure of exact drop.
its the overhang of the front bumper you need to watch especially if you have spats and a splitter on.

datuck

yeah i will go for 20mm then cheers.

heres my updated photo's with my sunstrip and sti fog cover stickers not much but really improves the look. i think with the winglets and front splitter it will be looking ok. just need it dropped how much does garages charge to fitt new springs anyone?

it looks good mate, sunstrips not for me but its far from offensive,
its refreshing to see a subaru modded subtly and with some thought, rather than sticking tat all over it.
the spats and splitter will finish it off good.
the front end will look similar to mine when its finished so maybe im biased lol.
as for the springs its an easy job for a garage so shouldnt be more thab a couple of hours labour but you will need the alignment doing.

datuck

yesss that looks sweet m8 where did u get your number plate from and do u know what size it is as thats just what im after. they sell number plate deletes but there priced high on ebay for abit on metal.

tubbytommy

iTrader: (20)

im sure its 7 x 3 cant remember where i got it from now, i would be careful with these plates as they arent police friendly, my car is rarely used but i have a set of proper plates in the boot just incase.

datuck

With the plate to small it would be getting abit naughty with the sunstrip as well lol. I just want a number plate delete but im not paying 50 quid for abit of metal. they look really nice tho.
