Default My ****

I managed to get hold of the OE Subaru Australia kit at a very good price, so I spent a day or 2 painting the parts and fitted them today.

I like the skirts



But I'm not sure about the **** end



What do you think ??

I havent bonded the rear bumper trim ,so its easy enough to remove if I can decide wether or not to keep it

opinions ??

Hmm, does look a bit saggy, is there anything you can do to straighten up the edges, if so I think it will look fine then

Side skirts look nice tho

he said he hasnt bonded them on yet, hence the sagging like an ol' ladies t1t$

i think it looks good all round mate, like the colour of the graphics although IMO the rear swoosh is way TOO BIG, needs to be smaller (it looks like the logo has been stretched vertically)

nice car madgrip

The **** would look better with a straight exit exhaust IMHO.

Other than that spot on mate.

The position that its in now is the position it'll be in even if I did permenantly bond it, as all the brackets are in place. If you look at the pic from the side you can see its pretty spot on behind the rear wheel

Theres not many ways that it can be fitted wrongly really, as its dead easy to fit and everything I needed was included with the kit.

I thought the exhaust (TSL Firestorm) was straight exit before I fitted the kit

Thanks for the opinions so far

Phil

PS Sonic.. the GFX are looking

Cheers Phil

When I bonded my P1 Splitter, it wouldnt stay in the position it needed to be in (even with the self tappers in place (much like you rear skirt), so what I did, was apply the bonding stuff, and get some big ****** concrete slabs, some towels, and basically wedged the slabs to the splitter to hold it in place overnight, and that did the trick

You 'could' try something similar with bricks underneath to hold the splitter in place


edited to add, I take you found the spraying a doddle then

If you get the 'swoosh' graphic on the side to overlap onto the sideskirt it will finish it off, IYSWIM

looks good

Phil, cars come on a long way since I last saw it although the tailgate and spoiler look familiar Bodykit looks good, rear section just doesnt seem level, seems to be pulled up under the number plate holder, what have you got on for a front spoiler, how does the front end look in comparison as the side picture doesnt show it.

Conrad

Crying out for some wheels and lower springs m8.

I haven't got anything on the front yet. I only got the sides and rear. I've had a look at the brackets again & everything is as tight as it can be, and positioned correctly.

The rear apron brackets ,use holes that are already in the bumper (no drilling required), so they should be in the right places and it is an OE kit

dont know what to do now

I've had a look at the various company websites who sell the kit but non of them show a square on picture of the back.

Phil

PS it's already lowered by 35mm would love some new wheels, but not got the funds at the moment

Is there no way to pull the part under the plate down to make it parallel with the existing lines?

no mate, like I said, the brackets are a fixed length and use existing holes in the bumper & the apron so theres no adjustment at all.

I'm still trying to find a pic of the rear fitted to another car but no joy yet.

reply Madgrip -

"I havent bonded the rear bumper trim ,so its easy enough to remove if I can decide wether or not to keep it"

- it probably looks better without those bonded to the rear bumper like what Nevetas said '... but the **** looks abit saggy'

yes mate ,they are (sorry 'bout that)

I still cant make my mind up about the rear apron though, and it cant be adjusted. I do like the sides though

still, I could probably sell it and get at least what I paid for the lot, maybe I could sell my old skirts and front splash guards aswell ..Mmm

The mudflaps I've fitted are the Scott Lowe jobbies, and looked pretty good before the rear apron was fitted.

I wouldnt mind a look at the prodrive flaps though

Hey Phil

Side skirts look the dogs on your car mate!! **** end looks ok, but I can see why you and other have concerns. Still looks great though!

Keep up the good work... Never a dull moment at the Bridge, always something new to look at...

Cheers

Hi Phil

Your car looks awsome mate... i like the rear too... maybe would've thought it looks saggy if the centre where the exhaust comes out of was straight across... looking great mate

Shame i cant add bits like that onto mine... i'd be scraping all the rubbish off the roads with mine lol
