Very nice........can't wait to finish mine off !!
Didn't realise the Subaru front/side/back lips looked so nice. I was looking at the DR Motorsport ones.

Nice looking car - the Eibach's work a treat don't they?
As regards the side indicators - do it - they look much better when colour coded in.
Here's mine:
or an alternative (TSL I believe)

Great ride height! Suits the 18's very nicely.
Can I get more details on the Eibach springs you used? Where did you get them from, what's the exact model? Is it their Pro Kit?
Many tks.

mbc - just asked the dealer to colour code in the side indicators when I bought the car. Judging by the quality of the finish they do look like blanking plates.
Chris
Eibachs for those that are interested:
There are basically two types that you can get - the 'official' Prodrive lowering kit which uses a slightly modified Eibach spring that is slightly softer than the 'normal' Eibachs (these are blue in colour). Or you can go for the normal Eibachs bought from any decent supplier. They are the same as fitted to the earlier model. These give a slightly firmer ride, but the offset in improved handling and balance is well worth it IMHO.
Cost wise I believe that the dealer fit Prodrive kit will cost you around £450 (not sure if this includes geometry and alignment setting). The normal Eibachs are around £140 a set, plus fitting and geometry setup (fitting and geometry at Powerstation cost me £160 and they did a great job).

the prodrive springs (which i had to have as my insurance only allows prodrive mods unless i want to pay more) cost £200 from dealer- dealer wanted 84hrs labour to take each wheel off and couldnt line up a spirit level so i went to Power Station who fitted and lined up for £160 (total £360)
