New front Lip

Sneaky Peaky · 20 Sep 2006 at 18:09

Whilst the Foz was in having some bodywork done due to some guy deciding to remodel my back bumper whilst I was sat in traffic I decided to bite the bullet and get some bits put on.
So here we go, genuine Subaru front spoiler, rear spoiler and bug eye Sti scoop painted and fitted

Really pleased with the front lip,squares it all off nicely and makes it look more chunky and toughened up..

More pics later if anyone wants to see !

Looks like it came that way out of the factory. This is a good thing. Good work fella.

gobbo · 20 Sep 2006 at 18:32

Looking good!

Those Rota wheels btw?

Sneaky Peaky · 20 Sep 2006 at 20:59

Cheers guys..

they are actually 18" Prodrive PFF7's as normally seen as upgrades on Impreza's

gobbo · 20 Sep 2006 at 21:07

Just look very similar to these Rotas:

The Rotas are a replica of the Prodrives I think.

gobbo · 20 Sep 2006 at 21:47

The Rota's are a replica of some other wheel, i'd assume the Prodrives are a replica of those wheels too.

andi · 20 Sep 2006 at 22:45

I'm pretty sure the Prodrives are original. A copy of manufacturers made replicas of them

Do they make smoked headlights for the Forester......?

Malt_Vinegar · 20 Sep 2006 at 23:15

got any before pics?

Sneaky Peaky · 21 Sep 2006 at 09:05

Here's a before pic - you can see since then I've also changed the grill for a Forester Sti one.

The Fsti does have blacked out front lights, you can get them from Japan but they cost a fortune ! Maybe one to add to the list though

Here's a Forester Sti for comparo..

and mine again...

wow that looks a ton better

I'm REALLY liking your forester mate, it's different to most stuff you see on the road and sweet as

Tom.

Cheers guys..

Due some more fettling in the next couple of weeks..new air intake and shield, dump valve and Samco Turbo inlet pipe.

A quick tweak to the map and hoping to get another 15-20 bhp and close to 330/330

So is your car an STI? I don't understand why these bits weren't on it to begin with or are they not sold like that in UK?

welshboy · 21 Sep 2006 at 11:42

much better looking then before, good work.

how much was the upgrade?

Sneaky Peaky · 21 Sep 2006 at 11:48

The Sti is JDM only..

Mine is slowly evolving into one although that wasn't the intention tbh..just that I've been able to tap into a couple of sources for Fsti parts

Which bit of the upgrade paddy ? I've spent a small fortune on it since new

The scoop, front and rear spoiler came to about £800 painted and fitted..

Good Work, very subtle.

There is no substitute for using genuine parts when it comes to getting a nice clean look

willd58 · 21 Sep 2006 at 13:07

Thats really nice!

brakeinup · 21 Sep 2006 at 13:17

That looks really good - good job

Black cars always look wicked when clean and shiny
