MY NEW VERSION 8 STI!!!
Just upgraded from a classic to a JDM version 8 STI. IT's ******* amazing!!!!!
Will put some pics up when i pick it up.
It's had the horrible bugeye lights replaced with Moretti's.
Now looking where i can buy a WR1 upper and lower grill same as a car for sale on fleebay. Don't know how to put pic on this site but could any of you fine people have a look on fleebay and let me know if they are WR1's and where i can buy them? Item number is 150088237933.

cracking car you got there as well.

So what you have isn't like the ebay pic you posted ?
See - this is why STi7, STi8 is just confusing (confuses the hell outa me)
If you have MY01 you have what is known as an STi7 (bugeye 2001-2002).
An STi8 is MY03 (blobeye - like the one in the ebay link you gave).
Subaru never gave them STi version numbers. It sort of works for the classics, and ppl generally know what is meant by STi V2/V5 cylinder heads etc. But if you go and order some STi8 bodywork stuff, such as foglight covers, lights, bumpers etc thinking it will fit yours and you will be disappointed.
Mechanically (apart from suspension) MY03 stuff will fit MY01, but seeing as you were looking from mesh grill bits MY03 grill will not fit yours.
When looking for bits you are best saying it's an MY01 (bugeye) and you'll get the right bits

You could always ask for the supplier of the grille from SL, maybe you get it direct?!?

"See - this is why STi7, STi8 is just confusing (confuses the hell outa me) "
Definately agree!!
"If you have MY01 you have what is known as an STi7 (bugeye 2001-2002).
An STi8 is MY03 (blobeye - like the one in the ebay link you gave)."
And that's why!!!
If 01MY is called STi7, which it shouldn't-
then
02MY shouldn't be called STi8
and
03MY shouldn't be called STi9 either

I'd like to get the WR1 style grille too, not from Subaru though as too expensive. Where else can we go?
J - we'll order one each & drive the price down
