Newage STi/WRX differences...
Are there any other (cosmetic) differences at the front apart from a bigger scoop and fog light covers - cos every STi I've seen seems to look a lot more agressive than my WRX...could it be ride height or am I missing something?

The main differences are
1 The front bumper has some overlays on both sides which give the bumper a wider look and a little bit lower at the front...these are available from the dealer at £104+vat for the pair and are prepainted and just clip over the standard WRX bumper(03 onwards).
2 Pink badge STI about £10 on EBAY
3 colour coded side skirts with a slightly different profile but WRX could be painted for about £180
4 215/45/17 on the wrx but 225/45/17 on the STI and gold...upgrade to OZ 225/40/18 for about £1000.
5 Bigger scoop on STI but with a bit of luck could get one i would have thought for about £50
6 slightly lower suspension and the cost is unknown but probably not worth the money....
so for about £1350 could look like a STI but with nicer alloys,but the best and cheapest upgrade is the Bumper ends and pink badges...
P.S i have a WRX 03 and have done some of the above and the car looks a treat...powerman
