Hawkeye bumper(slits)
Subaru guru's help required, what are the 2 slits either side of the number plate? Some hawks have it and some don't. Any ideas? 2 friends have hawk spec C's one blue one white and the blue one has the slits.:confused:

thought it was for brake cooling diverting some air over the front discs. :wonder:
|
Impossible to vent brakes from that location
If anything , extra flow for air con & pas cooler / |
But more than likely just a cosmetic re- touch
|
They make it go much faster!
|
It could be UK spec thing to cool the hg
|
Is one an MY06 and the other an 07, as there are a couple of subtle differences between the two, rear lights being one and steering wheel being another
|
My MY06 has them.
|
Pretty sure all Hawks are MY06 regardless , the latter ones having a few re- touches but still
Chassis MY06-/ MY07 are the first Hatches Quote me if I'm mistaken chaps !! |
My Hawk is a 55 plate, does that make it a MY05 car?
UK car and has the slits |

In that application it's induction wich channels ( kind of like a hood extractor ) direct into the front mount intercooler wich sits on top of the engine at the tip of the bonnet .
No captain jack , your car is MY06, , first Hawks came in on 55's |

The Hawk comes in MY06 and MY07,(and MY08 for the Middle East - destination code KS and Israel E2) http://clarkdh.net23.net/NTL/G11%20model%20year.JPG the Hatch arrived in late 2007 as MY08. |
Thanks for that Don
Yea I know it has nothing to do with first registration date as my Hawk is first registered in Feb 2009 / as that would make it MY09 |
Mine is a MY06 and has the slits, I dont believe they go anywhere, that said its a spec D
|
My MY06 Spec C has them
|
Also anyone know what the bottom side vents are for on the hawk, brake cooling ??
|
My 2007 non turbo hawk that was imported from south malta originally has them too. Could it not just be a prefacelift - facelift differance?
|
This might sound daft , but I'm swaying more now on the thinking its to limit number plate vibration ( reverb ) against the bumper itself causing chatter noise at speed / stock number plates are quiet long & def flex right at those points .. This would cause the trapped air to filter on through reducing the reverb :)
|
I suspect you're over-thinking it somewhat. :D
|
Lol
