That looks like it’s going to be a beast m8
I agree with the colour though! Silver wouldn’t do it justice! You would be better having a flip/fleck/flakes put in it. With the extra curves on the car they would stand out and look great

Was looking for kits the other day... I can't remember the site unfortunately - however, I came across another wide body kit for Impreza.
It was made by a company called Trial and if memory serves it was around the £6000 mark.
Has anyone heard of this company or kit or am I hallucinating and totally misread the price ?

Default wooowww

well to me that sounds a stupid price as you can get a 22b for around 800 and they are very good, oww the only prob i had with the kit was the spacers being 20mm on the front and 40mm on the rear but it looks the dogs just out Kei race wheels on to so its getting there but keep your views coming

That's the Storm kit blended in yes?

Often thought about that kit myself, but the front bumper put me off a bit.

Liking the look so far, but we DO need more pics.

Default more pictures are Due

Sorry there are more pictures on the way but i spend so much time on it its dark by the time we finish. But i must Give a massive thanks to my mates

Adam and lloyd because they are doing most of the work and they are amazing, so if your ever in Wales and you need body work done give them a call, they have only just started a bodywork shop but the cars they have done are wicked!!

Keep your comments coming, will hopefully be on the road in a few days tme so if you see me give me a flash

it is that price. but you get what you pay for. all top end kits are expensive. eg veilside. if any one has seen the maxpower video beasts from the east, there was one on there. i havnt heard from them since though. quality kit, looks awesome. would love to see one in the flesh.


yes hammers car has a storm kit, wide arch version.

Just thought I'd double check. First time I had seen it and to be honest first time I had heard of the company so was curious!
I know what I'll be getting when I win the lottery. Or sell my house...

Ah Trial....awesome!

If your talking about the yellow 2 door, then yes i've heard about it and seen the pics. Never seen one in the flesh as i doubt anyone can afford it, but then you KNOW no-one will have the same car.

LIKEIN THE WIDE KIT, What goes in the holes next to the fog lights could you cut the corners out of a classic and fit them in the holes or is it just going to be the halfords mesh it will be the finishing touches that will make the car
will keep an eye for the update pics
