Go f*ck yourself you big loser! Its the same as the 22b wing which is at the end of the day an impreza. A little different from putting a sccob scoop on a clapped out astra.

I am seriuosly considering buying this wing also. Not sure whether to go for the DR or Scoobysport one. The S.S. one is a little bigger I believe but a little more expensive.

I guess you've got a good stock of those stickers and coats, probably free with your underbody lighting kit

whOOOOoooooo... touchy...

don't come the old 'well it's off the same car argument' - that doesn't cut it and you know it - ironic thing is you think it's 'looks the dogs danglies' - whereas I did mine <B>purely</B> for performance reasons..

- so tell me, who's the loser again ?

so I'll also put yer neon lighting kit in the post then, you big fat <B>angry blinkered</B> hypocrite

People are always gonna think the car is from the max power brigade.

Here in london, all the stuck up rich kids laugh at my car. They drive their TTs and their boxsters and think they are cool, yet they see a 22B and assume I stuck all these spoilers, gold wheels and tinted windows on myself.

you can't win.

If you buy/ do something to a car, so it for yourself, tell everyone to go **** themselves.

I decided that I couldn't argue on the boy racer/M4X p0wr front, so I've added a set of fluffy dice. The chap at halfords almost refused to sell 'em to me

As for the spoiler - do it . I would do if I wasn't moving house...

Thanks Chuck, Hows the estate car?

GP: Is it not possible that the bigger wing increases downforce which I would have thought could be considered a performance increase.





The wings in question are from

I wasn't giving 'input' - just pointing out the mutual exclusivity of your statements in the two threads

so...next time you feel like giving someone the one-fingered salute, I suggest you remember just how shallow <B>you</B> seem to be <I>before</I> making a snap judgement of others..

re : rear downforce.. lol - if anyone honestly believes my old nemesis here is changing it for that then <B>wake up</B> - he couldn't even grasp the concept of the importance of a good air feed - so he wouldn't know downforce even if Lisa Riley fell out the sky on him..

lighten up gordon - you seem to be all stressed out - it does take a big man (and not a just man with a big wing) to admit he's wrong I guess - and btw - a man that doesn't give a f**k don't reply does he

I like scoobs - and think the HL wing looks real good in the piccies actually - you can take that either as an Olive branch in the hand, or one round the face - up to you

Colin,

Thanks for that, the Prodrive one is really smart. If mine was newer I would go for it too, good to keep things original. Ill probably change cars in a year or so, but the DRM looks very good, and many happy customers by the sounds of it.
