Zip Boing Arial Whoop

Thinking about fitting the above to a MY05 WRX. But first a few questions:-
1. Is the mesh grill a Subaru Part, if so how much, Can't find it on Subaru UK's website (any Piccies Pref. on a crystal grey car)

2. Anyone fitted the Prodrive Springs to a MY05 yet, if so feedback and prices paid, also if I wait for Eibach to bring theirs out does this invalidate the warrantee?

3. Is the quickshift worth the money (about £200 i believe from a dealer), is there an aftermarket one and if some warrantee issues again.

Sorry for so many questions..

Cheers

Well at a guess the answer to Q1 is that it is probably listed as a WR1 specific spare part as that is the car they were fitted to as standard. They do fit straight on to other Scoobs as I have seen them though.

I believe that if you fit the Eibachs it would impact your warranty - worth checking directly with the dealer but questionable as to the benefit of this anyway (unless cheaper) as AFAIK the prodrive springs for the MY05 WRX are made by Eibach to Prodrives specifications - I seem to remember reading a post on here somewhere that the MY05 WRX kit was in fact based on the MY04 Sti kit.
Gonna get mine done at the 10k service

Bugeye version of mesh here. May fit?

IMHO the mesh grill does not suit the shape of the car's nose (in the colours I've seen anyway) and for the money it isn't worth it.

Solid alloy droplinks and spring kit definately worth while. Quick shift can make gearchange notchy apparently, I find the gear box in my 05 wrx very good and short enough as std.

The money saved on the mesh grill I'd spend on a lower lip spoiler from Scott's. This does improve the look of the car more so than you'd think..!

PS I've so far only fitted droplinks (they do help reduce understeer very well), boost gauge and a ninja BB. The other things are going to happen when the funds are around..!

Don't know about the 05 but I can tell you that my local dealer wanted £800 (springs, bumpstops, fitting and geometry included) so I got Powerstation to fit some Eibachs to my 03WRX for a very reasonable £250 but they rattle like buggery and if the dampers fail before 60,000 they won't replace them under warranty!

interesting...was thinking of a mesh grill but may change my mind and go for a spoiler lip now...anyone know how easy they are to fit...?

I've fitted them to other cars and their usually quite easy 4-5 screws/bolts. Not looked to see if holes are already there, but it should be easy to drill a few in the underside of original chin spoiler.

Seriously though, the money for the grill can be better spent..!

bloody hell, i think i would use the grill off a disposable bbq and pocket the money...

Go for the mesh grill & the STI lip.. looks mean....



Not sure if it has the quickshift, but it felt like a similarly short throw to my old RB5 and that had a quickshift..

Looks really nice on the Crystal grey I think, but i love that colour...
