Does anyone know if you can get a spliter for this front bumper to match in with the sideskirts

Cheers

 

maybe you should show us what the sideskirts look like?

 

Well there not fitted at the mo,just standard wrx skirts

 

Does anyone also know can i get clear front indicators for this bumper ?

btw still looking for a spliter

 

i think the best thing to do would be change the bumper, i know you probably like that one but you could consider changing if no one can come up with splitter.

 

Well i don't really want to change the bumper for a turbo one as mine is a 1.6 and i don't want it looking like a turbo as it is not

 

Most splitters could fit this bumper with a little modification - but there's not really any point on dressing up a 1.6L is there?

A front splitter is usually used for aggressive air-cooling - a 1.6L is unlikely to get that hot, and that bumper isn't designed for cooling ducts - it's a functional bumper used to house the lights and finish the car's nose. I know, because I've got the same bumper.

I'm upgrading to a MY2000 bumper - if you really want a front splitter you should consider doing the same!

 

huffer is yours a 1.6 aswell

Its just when i get the side and rear skirts fitted the front bumper is going to be higher than the sides of the car and i want a spliter to make it lower not for cooling

 

Hey Stevey,

Mine's not a 1.6L - it's a 2.0L non-turbo wagon. I doubt that putting skirts etc. on will make it look odd - I've seen plenty from the factory with skirts on and standard bumpers - it's not that noticeable.

I say if you're really worried about it looking off, save your money for some suspension kit - drop it down 30mm and watch the gap between the arch and wheel disappear. I think the money spent on a front splitter/spoiler would be better used elsewhere on the car.

Maybe you should post a pic up? That would be easier to give opinion on?

At the end of the day mate, it's your car so you do what you want with it.

 

Huffer You would'nt have any pics of them would you as i havent got the skirts on yet ?

 

Stevey - I haven't got any pics to put up, but if you have a look at any of the retailers on scoobynet (click on shop.scoobynet.co.uk at the top of the page) you should find plenty of options, both with, and without the front splitter/spoiler.

Cheers Dyney just what i been looking for but not sure if the front spats look a bit odd tho ?

 

Hey Dyney.
What car is that? just an Italian model, or what?
I have a 1.8 GL, and the front grille on that picture looks far better than mine..

 

Franx - depends on what Manufacturer Year. I think that model that Dyney has posted up is an MY98 or MY99. I can say that with confidence as I have an almost identically-styled car (well it was, right before I logged onto Scoobynet and got bit by the modders bug).

The front grill and bumper are the most obvious "facelifts" that the imprezas underwent in the late 1990s.

 

Huffer Is there any owners websites from your area where i can see the sideskirts and the normal front bumper ?

oh and have you ever seen clear indicators for this bumper?

Hey stevey

Sorry man, there's very little modding going on in my area which involves anything less than a 2L turbo...as for the clear indicators - I also considered that, but I think the best you might be able to do is find a breakers yard and source some non-subaru type parts. I'm sure other models of cars would have "clear" indicators which might fit.

As for myself, I've gone the dark side and had a complete front end conversion to the MY00 WRX bumper, clear indicators and all.
