Spoilers are pretty tacky these days, in all honesty.

If you like the look without, then I would go with that ...... you could sell the P1 spoiler to someone who will be wearing a baseball cap the wrong way round

^^^ well said tony .... very wise indeed

btw ... you cant really wear a cap backwards with recaros etc - it catches on the headrest bit and is very annoying

Hi fella, welcome to the site. I'm not a mod, but most will agree with the text speak thing. Try not to use it as it makes more enemies than friends bud

Half the time we don't no, but thats not the reason.

The reason is it makes the user using it look like a spacktard for one, and it is disrespectful to other users on here.

This is a Subaru forum for enthusiasts, not a Corsa or Saxo or any other chav forum.

Read the T&C's when you joined did you? It specifically warns you about using text speak

(and before you say it, there is a difference between being able to spell (if you're dyslexic for instance) and blatantly using numbers and crap to abbreviate words).

All IMHO

Maye it is "gay", but it's the forum T&C's fella.

Oh, the 'PEGEOT' is a temp measure till I'm back in Scoobaru ownership (do a little research before running your mouth, dear boy).

This is my old Scoob - look no lexus lights or stupid halfords add ons

Yep, they get in the way and make extra noise a speed!
Has anyone actually noticed a difference? I had a spoiler on my last Impreza, and haven't noticed any difference not having one on this one.

As I haven't tried to find the limits of grip @ 100+ on a motorway bend or slip road, I can't comment.

I would say though that for classics, they have a fairly mobile Rse end (apparently due to suspension geometry). Having extra weight high up on the boot will affect how it reacts to tighter cornering at lower speead, esp. under braking.

So you'll fly around the slip road at 100+ like a hero, then tank slap it into the centre of the roundabout.
