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.

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 !!

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)
the Hatch arrived in late 2007 as MY08.

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
