HT Autos Wide Arch Body Kit
I thought I'd post a few pictures of the fibre glass body kit that I had fitted by HT Autos to my 2000MY Type R
18 Months or so back I transplanted a 2003 Spec C drivetrain into my Type R chassis. All was well, apart from the clearances in the wheel arches. But after this kit, I look like I am running on spacesavers!
As well as fitting and spraying the 4 new panels, I also had a scoop done at the same time, as well as a boot lid respray of a white RA boot lid with no spoiler holes. Price was 2000+VAT for the whole job. Pretty good I think.
Cheers
Steve
P.S. Ignore the foam in the rear. That is part of the rear speaker setup.

As for spoilers and colour, I like the low profile approach - less Halfords. Having said that, I don't think a wide boy 22b kit is very incognito, so I may have slipped up there.

I need to check how far the rear driveshafts can stretch if I fit longer lateral links instead of spacers. Anyone know ?

We don't all have to like the same colour of car though. Just think, if we all had light blue Imprezas, finding your car in the car park would be a nightmare

Not far enough!, They are weak enough as it is, if you start running the driveshaft not fully engaged you can snap the splined section where the clip goes in 2nd gear in the rain - OOPS.
Speak to Pat next time you see him, I think he has some ideas on how to widen the track
