Default STI or P1 front end???

I've got a V4 STI Type R that is due to under go a V6 STI 99 spec conversion. View my scoob will show you its current state.

This will consist of:

Front Bumper
Lights
Fog light covers
V6 splitter.

I'm after opinions really as the P1 front end is just as nice.

Price is not important rather the end result.

Opinions please

Sti front is my favorite by far

I don't think many cars look good with the P1 splitter.

I've never been a fan of the P1's looks, and I think that's down to the splitter (and colour). I think the Sti has the better front, P1 better rear The splitter is too much like a snowplough for me.

I think I'm also in the minority

V6 Sti type R V-limited, with roof scoop, in white with P1/RB5 spoiler and volk TE-037 wheels is the ultimate for me

Forgot to add that I've got a P1 spoiler being fitted too!

I really like the P1 wheels in Gold but will look at the Volks.

Cheers RB5!

PS thanks for the comments David but we don't all use the word "NICK" down south

LOL, I looked at your car after posting that. It was an unbiased opinion.

I think they are very steep, Inovite (sp?) do a fairly similar wheel cheaply.

I have a black Type R V4 and am thinking the same. With yours being white, I'd say the P1 splitter would look great.
