spoiler advice please and bonnet vents question

[SergeantScooby]

Folks

here is my motor

http://photobucket.com/albums/e267/WRXRA/?sc=6

i take it the current rear spoiler was an after market addition, can someone tell me and point me to a picture of what should have originally be on there.

also question about bonnet vents, they have covers on the underside of them, is there any benifits in removing the covers obviously extra cooling, but i am concerned that if i did remove them water getting onto engine components cant be good over time.

 

any ideas

Spoiler is the original one in my eye's and leave the underside bonnet vent covers on, as it doesn't help cooling once your actually driving the car.

cheers drb, maybe you can advise on something else for me or anyone else for that matter, i notice a lot of references to version number when people talk about classic scoobies how do i determine what version mine is or can someone tell from picture ?

Did you mention that your car is a WRX RA and not an sti?

MY00 GC8G47D sept99- aug00 (sti6 is GC8G4ED)

MY99 GC8F47D sept98 - aug99 (sti5 is GC8F4ED)

[SergeantScooby]

dougster, it is  a WRX RA not STi

i have a note of the model code somewhere will look it out, the model code confirmed model type, but doesnt give me an idea which version, not important just curious, how do the version number work, are they just for classic or do that go right through wrx range to present

 

[drb5]

In my view your car is a.................

 

 

 

..........Subaru Impreza WRX RA V-Limited Version 5 and a nice one at that.

GC8F4DD is the code for a WRX RA STi5 V-Limited Version 5 special edition.

I don't have one for the car Dave mentions.

[drb5]

Sorry, i think i got it wrong.

 

Subaru Impreza WRX RA Limited Version 5

[SergeantScooby]

model code is GC8G47D and according to faq is wrx ra

[dougster]

WRX Type RA Limited 1,000 units/LTD.model

WRX RA but it's a 'limited' model.

thats the one dougster, front seats and console match would rather that steering wheel too, i am guessing previous owner changed it out at some point. is there a a4 size of the at brochure graphic at all ? where did you get it ? 

[dougster]

"where did you get it ?"

I could not possibly comment............the lexus lights however................[:'(]

You have a rare car. Get them back to what they should be. (my opinion)

[SergeantScooby]

absolutely agree re: lights not my cuppa tea either, they need to come off

Nice car but please get rid of the "chav" rear lights.........totally spoil it!!

(disclaimer -  Not implying you are a chav but the lights are!!! [])

[dan_jess]

Very tidy car! And glad to hear ur getting rid of the rear lights 2! Mind u if we keep on dissing them then nobody will buy them if he puts them on the 4sale section! []

Maybe thats a good thing tho []

The rear spoiler is a replica and not the cars original.

 

The wrx ra would have had a smaller spoiler, like the one on the other photo.
