Sounds like a great idea Pete. 
Let's have a few pints, and then let me drive the scared "wabbit" then you won't need anymore cosmetics..
Just kidding, we're really looking forward to meeting U guys.
Cheers

A VAST improvement - makes the front end look lower too (yes I know that it IS lower but it seems to take a lot of the bulkiness away). It actually reminds me slightly of the Triumph Vitesse that I used to crave in my long lost youth (showing my age now!!)

Our price for the lights will be cheaper than anyone else, as we are buying in bulk, so in a way yes, but it will be the same price for individuals or groups.
On the spoilers, no. We can't keep up with the orders we are getting and do have a lot of development/mould costs to recover.
Maybe in 6 months time, when we have covered our set up costs.

Cheers pete,
It actually looks like an Impreza now, much, much more agresive.
Why the factory cant do something similar is beyond me.
Is it me or is the car running a lot of positive rake? That is *** in the air.

Hi John
It does a bit of roll axis bias, about 12mm. This gives the most stunning turn-in, without excessive LOOS.
The weight distribution of the new car is quite different from the old one and the arches gives the impression that it could go even lower. In reality, the big arches are to allow the use of snow chains, a requirement of EC type approval.

I admit the bug eyes were a bit off putting at first, But after driving the car at night i'm really starting to appreciate the Bug eyes. the performance of the lights are superb. Even the indicator lights seem to bounce of street signs approx 100 meters away.
The lights are still ugly.. But they work excpetionaly well. Not sure if I would change them for that reason only really. Unless the Morrettes perform as good as the bug eyes.

That car is a <B>beast</B> I love the upgrades. Are those 18" Wheels or 17"??
What a great site. I live in the US and have ordered the Americanized 2002 WRX can't wait. My concern were the lights as well, and found this set:
I contacted them and was informed they don't make the light kit for left handed cars yet. Does that make sense to anyone?
Well my first post, hope for many more. What a great site

Been away from my desk for a few days.
Night performance is great. Beam definition on dipped is very good and main beam performance is much better than the original lights.
I am currently working on converting the dipped beam to HID, for even more light
On the stock situation, our orders are still being accepted and I understand that any deal with Subaru UK has not been finalised.
I also understand that the UK300 cars will be fitted with lights that Prodrive have made.

Hi Pete,
This HID thing - is this something you can do for punters like me?
Do i have to come to Basildon to get them fitted or is there somewhere nearer to Leicester that i can go to? Can you paint them DBM?

Yes - the reflectors are different - right hand drive lamps dip to the left, and vice versa.
