Default UK300 Wing

Well the deal I had set for the sti wing fell through so I thought I'd fit my recently acquired UK300.

I'm undecided.

Looks really nice mate, in fact your car looks very similar to my old WRX

Sorry but those wings are bloody dreadful in my opinion. They don't suit the car at all.

Kind of agree. It is too angular for my liking compared to the front.

I think they look fine and it's good to have something other than all the big STI wings on every Subaru. Still that's just my opinion.

Nail on the head buddy. It just doesn't suit the lines of the car.

No doubt it'll sell well so at least you won't be stuck with it

I love mine but for some reason i only like them on blue Scoobys.

Also even though the rear end is the same, they only suit Bugeye's I think it's because of the smaller front head lights it makes the front end look slimmer so the rear spoiler compliments it.

Yeah you need more holes for the STI one, so if your going to go to a STI one it's fine, you can drill the holes.
If you go from STI to UK300 your going to need to fill the holes and paint or new boot.

Failing that swap the boot lids as well

I've tried spoiler less. I have a few boot lids in my colour so not an issue. I have a couple if the gen sti spoilers. Spoilt for choice. Lol

Well I'm going to leave it on for today at least. Will pop to the gym in an hour or so. The acid test will be the walk out of the gym to see my pride and joy. Then I'll know.

Then we are going to book a holiday this afternoon. After all that, I'll decide if the wing is staying or not.

I am going to go against the grain here and say I like it. The blob is quite a fussy design with a lot of little details on the body, bumpers etc so the wing works with it whereas on a classic it would look totally wrong.

To be honest if you got the right wheels now to compliment it I think it would look spot on

I defiantly agree that a change of wheels, or even the original wheels in hyper black would change how the spoiler suits the car
