Default MY 2011 STi WRX Fender Flares / Wide body kit

Hi,

After numerous requests HT Autos have finally started work on 2011 Subaru STi WRX fender flares.
These wide body kits will widen the already wide 2011 STi WRX by another 35-40mm

This is the car before we start;

All arches now laminated.
This serves 2 purposes. They firstly give us a rough mould to make the arches, plus will be used on the backside of the arches for perfect fitment of the Subaru 2011 STi WRX.

Hi Mark,

Gone back to ford pal, got a nice Focus RS in White and just had the Cp400 up-grade put on the car and its foooookin awesome pal, and I can just enjoy this one, its not always on my mind if the engine will go pop, unlike the sti.....

The only reason I got rid of the sti was all the S**t the 2.5 engine was getting on here and I wasn't willing to take the risk with mine, also I couldn't believe how much it had lost in value.....

Can't wait to see the out come of the new wide body kit pal. it will look awesome. as does everything you do for these cars......

Preparing arches to take the new flares, the pegs determine how wide they are going to be. With the pegs we have attached, this should make approx. 35mm per side...........

We have placed the rough moulds over the pegs. This will give us our basic guideline for the arches....................

Hughy!!!!! worse case, you could have had the engine forged/rebuilt for about £4k and seen 400bhp from it and no worry about engine going pop.

I bet it's cost you more than £4k to go back to the Ford Focus.. that you sold for the STi?







Mark:
I've just fitted my HTauots Hatch Side Skirts this evening.. look awesome, but had a right job getting the car on the MOT ramp (car being a bit low) then I now have blisters on the palm of my hands where I've had to push/screw the fasteners in lol
Pix of side skirts to follow.

We will need to make a different rear bumper & 1/4 panel for it to fit hatch.
