Are Subaru Impreza WRX STi HID xenon headlights different from what a Subaru Impreza WRX STi normally has ?

Pink STi fog cover decals off - new silver/grey decals now on. Thanks for the prompt making/sending of them Scuzz, good price also. One things for sure, I won't become a car graphics fitter !! Started raining about 15mins after I fitted them, first washing test won't be till the weekend.

Scuzz-make some room in your inbox, info on it's way

Going to be adding a few little subtle decals to my car. Where are the advised places to look - shops/websites/etc ?

Well put together John (although you just starred in it, not edited it). Do you ever take those sungalsses off !? Recognised the EK expressway in there. Good to see something a little different.

Reckon there might be a few people interested in this outcome from Meercat, myself included. Looked in to sportcats DP a while back but everything seemed expensive (never tried Meercat though), especially when you add on fitting and then a remap. Mind you, who every thought improving an Impreza would be cheap !!

Similar toy you, WRX/Black/STi spoiler. Mesh grill kit on front though as a pointer to it being me.

Keeping an eye out for your car whenever I'm in Hamilton Gordon, not sure if the new look makes it easier to notice though, kinda blends in with the road too well !

What would the cost be to buy the prodrive springs from Subaru, and have whoever is setting up the geometry fit them at the same time, if possible ? Just a thought, or do Subaru have to fit them ?

Quite a few head towards Gary Moulson (0208 6427868 / 02083291167 / 02082880275 ) at Keith Michaels - although he is on holiday till Monday 25th Feb believe. Not always easy to get a hold of but quite a few Subaru owners do rave about the quotes. Tell them about all the mods. I moved from Admiral to them end of last year, beat renewal quote by over £100.

Nice trip away at the weekend to Peebles. Just wondering if anyone knows if it is compulsary to own a Scooby in your adult life in the town.....saw loads. Some nice classic and some nice Newage examples alike. Even got half a wave from guy in a classic. V-power cheaper in the town too, just the pump I went to let the stuff pi....pour out before the auto click off ! Okay area for the day/weekend out for a run if in to the scenery bit.

Was fillin my mothers car up with petrol (1.2 Clio), and at the garage was a young lad (18ish) in a modded corsa. As we both stood at the pumps I noted to him that his car was looking good (some credit due as it was properly done and not the ram raided halfords with the sticky tape on look) and looks like he'd spent a lot of time etc on it. He said "aye, a've spent loads on it....bla bla...and it'd beat yours no problem mister!" I gave a short quiet laugh and said, "I'm a little old to be racing on roads, but I'm quite sure you wouldn't beat mine". He scoffed, "it's only a 1.2 Clio mister". Me - "Nope, this isn't mine, mine is 200metres up the road there and just round the corner, the black WRX, you might have just passed (I smiles )". Aye, I dud see that wan, eh, nice car, eh, aye". At which point the head goes down and he toddles off to pay for his fuel ! Bless im

I went with Gary at Keith Michaels when I renewed, way better quote than anyone else. Haggle a little too, might get a little off still.

Ah don't worry, cheered me up just a little before having to enter the DFS showroom ! Next time. Oh aye, and cheers, I have now managed to persuade my wife that I have a bigger say in her next car, as she is now driving mine a lot more,........there is a but though ! Due to her liking the decals on your car she says the deal is that I get similar on mine....a black car....and the decal colour....yip....PINK ! Eh, nope, not my thing !!

First time I think I might have seen one of the folks on here. Top of London Road (opposite DFS) on Saturday around 1pm, you had the "cool" shades on (only 5 minutes it wasn't raining!). Blue car fully rally stickered up, thing that gave it away might have been your name on the side window (didn't catch it fully but reckon it was close to your name on here!) ? I was sitting at the lights on your right hand side as you drove through, you looked like you were concentrating hard taking the 4degree curve to notice me - either that or getting excited at getting on to the M74 ??

Had the same cautious issue too, having seen all the pics with the orange removed decided to go for it. I left loads of time so could get it done best I could. I went with the hair dryer method for heat, slower, but the oven way just doesn't seem best idea to me with all the rubber and plastic parts on it.

Not quite a mod...but new headlight to replace the not so good one. Not that bad just not up to the standard of the second one ! Got a list of things to do, but new house on the horizon and the good lady would boot my b*#s (not litterly of course) if I spent the kinda money next needed ! Sports cat downpipe & remap, lowering springs, ARB & droplinks and 18s...eh, that's all !!

Well, car now de-tango'ed. First headlight...nightmare. Second headlight...half the time and a lot less mistakes. After what seemed like ages, loads of swearing and a few cuts to the hand, looks much better. Just the ewather to find out if it's going to leak : Also spent time cleaning the car up last weekend, just an excuse to try out some nice new BF midnight sun wax, and other products, that received for Xmas - 1 mile down the road and the car was filthy again - oh well it is January after all. ....and while the car was off the road ,got some caliper paint too (white Subaru lettering is tough to do...yes I know the "B" isn't perfect!!).

Reckon I'll still do it, does help out the front a lot (no orange anywhere else on my car!!). Maybe the sales guy just has to say that so there's no come back at all from disgruntled customers who don't seal the unit back up properly. Sure I also read somewhere that someone got a Subaru dealer to do it for them when buying their car, must be okay then. Reheat and then a little mastic should easily be sufficient.

Over next few days plan on taking the car off the road to try out a few of the new cleaning products, and also decided at the same time the orange tint in the headlights has got to go too - aka detango'ing. Read a few threads about how to do it, think it's something I could manage (might regret saying that!). Thing is when I ordered the PIAA indicator bulbs the guy said they were really only for the rear lights as the front headlight is sealed...this I know....but he "strongly" advised against opening the headlight unit up. Just wondering if anyone that has done this before has had any problems after resealing (newage) ??

That's lurvley looking all detailed up like that - nice car too. Shame the roads are so dirty just now, but just shows you what your car looks like underneath the muck, incentive enough to keep it in top shape. If only cars came out the dealers looking like that !

So it does say 98 RON on the fuel filler flap ! I need to start reading instructions ! Just as well I use v-power anyway !!

Un-mapped normal UL should be okay, mapped it'll tie in with e.g. v-power, for better all round result. Personally I always use Shell v-power (unless light comes on and no Shell station about) and not remapped. 99RON, better performance, allegedly bit better fuel economy and cause it is meant to be better/cleaner for the engine on the whole. You've got a couple to choose from in Hamilton and think they are reasonable prices (as far as current prices go anyway!!! ) . Watch out for the v-power days that kick about (v-power at price of normal UL). Think the Tesco 99RON is thought of as good too.

Welcome. Same area as myself (just outside). Get my v-power in Hamilton just now so might see u out and about. Have same colour with STi spoiler, I have the mesh grill on front which might help u recognise me - give a wave or a flash (not the rude one - the car lights one !)

Looks good, must've just got a wash recently nothing on the roads is that clean just now ! They 18's or 19's, sit nicely on the car, perhaps a lowering too ?
