If that's a genuine GB270, then a previous custodian has put a regular STi spoiler on it.

The OEM one is quite unique looking...

Ah, it's a regular UK WRX with GB270 bits and bobs.

(That's why it also hasn't got the mesh front grilles).

i may change it back but at moment im not to fussed.im loving the noise to much at moment to be bothered working on it😂😂😂😂😂

ted bass 12 February 2018 03:00 PM

They aint always easy to find in the right colour and can make top money, strange that the original advert clearly states chrome front grills but the car don't have them, confused.com lol unless you have already swapped them for the black grills in the pics?

tbh i never even noticed that in the add mate(shows how much noticei take😂😂😂 but to befair i would change to black anyways as i prefer them.im going to get rid of the silver bits of trim inside aswell and go black or carbon

Jay kay 12 February 2018 03:15 PM

ted bass 12 February 2018 03:28 PM

Sorry mate, I made a (wrong) assumption based on the wording in the ad and the missing GB270 items. :o

Nice mote... But please reinstate the OEM features (spoiler, grilles, etc... ;))

6x9’s are so 90’s and all the messing of cutting and chopping etc just not with it
You’ll be much better satisfied replacing components in the doors to be honest
And a nice sub in the boot :thumb:

I replaced all four with jl audio items and a bootbuild pod for the sub in the boot which leaves a lot of boot space
Alpine speakers are good to as I ran them in my previous scoob

Nice car :cool:
will Defo look much better with the gb270 spoiler on for sure it’s like a main feature a part of the cars character if you wil
The sti one just doesn’t cut it would suit a lesser car for modification purposes not a gb270 that was made with these features on as genuine/standard
I’d swap my sti spoiler for a gb270 one anyday they worth more aswell :)

The gb270 spoiler is hard to obtain but there’s one in eBay right now I’d grab it then get it sprayed in summers if I was in your position :thumb:
On gb270 the rear and front lip kit and spoiler are the main features in my opinion

cheers dude ill do that then..i have ordered alpine fronts and sony rear plus sound proofing.i will run them off thr new headunit and i will look for a sub box and amp for the boot

sunny1989 13 February 2018 09:28 AM

I thought something didn't look quite right, the lack of the correct spoiler and front lip/grille would explain it.

Nice car though, have always liked these GB270's.
