I dont think it is it looked exactly the same as another prodrive one on the bay, which dean is on his way to pick up.

Will have to check.

If it's a prodrive one, you got an absolute bargin. You should be able to tell from the brake light and the wiring loom as to whether it's genuine, both should have subaru stamped on them.

There's one on there at the moment thats £137 with 5 days left to go, They noramlly go for around £400-£500

Longer than it normally would of went Abergavenny way coz i though it would be quicker than driving to newport and going along the M4, but i was wrong, about 1h 30min. Plus i was in the Mrs 1.2 Clio (cheaper on petrol)

Scudy - Has yours got 3 bolt holes on each side?? sure my standard one only has 2 fixings on each side

SW Sport Pilot - Yeap it's staying now, going to get a splitter and splash guards and have some marks on the car touched up at the same time when it's being sprayed, also considering delocking/flushing the bootlid. Just got to get my door cards retirm to match my new seats now, fitted the new component speaker i bought for the front, and get some new pads, ££££££.

Mines got a hella light, cant see any Subaru stamps, but don't really care if it is copy, looks identical to the real one, although probably is coz it looks like it came off an RB5.
I've never be able to find anywhere that sells prodrive replica spoilers and i have looked, i've seen so called replica's that look nothing like them and don't have prodrive embossed in the side.

Looks very nice, I looked for ages for one but got the carbon STI6 one instead,

I know what you say about a copy. If it's a good copy and no ones ever goner know, Get someone to make a mould you'd sell **** loads of um

Was thinking of doing that, i know a company that wants to do it, the only thing is they will become less exclusive then and i want to get it fit soon.

Looks genuine, mine is and it has a Hella light as well. Think Prodrive would have something to say about people knocking out loads of copies though

Think i will change mine, there is too many about now, will be keeping my eye out for a WRX style one (less drag)..

John

By the way Dean my inlet manifold spacers have arrived, got one pair of gaskets just waiting for the other set to arrive, picked up a set of M8x45mm bolts today, also have a set of header tank spacers as well, but still no sign of my i/c yet..
