Cool Visited STI showroom in Niigata Japan!!

and it was quality.. Was also an offical STI shop..

had a load of sti goodies... Tshirts keyrigs, umbrellas etc... Spent over a ton on some treats for me and picked up the catalogue to boot. gonna order more stuff like a nice winter jacket.
They also had a japanese Spec C in the showroom. looked very nice had blue pedals... never seen these before.. are these on the english Spec C? took a few pics if anyone is interested i will put them up.

They had soom rally memorabilia, signed caps, tshirts, etc From solberg ranging back to McRae. Also the 22B official press release from back in 1998 some great stuff to be honest..
So as i said i picked up aload of cool things but one thing i did want was a pink STI padge for my grill on my 05 STI.. but the dude in the showroom says it was from the classic impreza and wasn't sure if it would fit my car

Does anyone know if it will fit my car or if they are different sizes?

Cheers

Rags

English (should be british! ) type c is just a japenese one imported to here so will have the pedals but think that might be an sti extra not an original fitment.
Try ebay a look for badges and you'll see theres different sizes between classic and new age. Don't know if they'd send you a badge all they way over there but you should be able to get a part number from somebody.

Classic grill badges are much smaller than newage badges.

Unless the blue pedals were the anodised aftermarket STi ones, then what you saw was the delivery blue plastic on the metal pedals that are OEM on many models here <I bought OEMs and put them on my std Legacy pedals btw, they just about any sube it seems>
