These turned up yesterday, so decided to cut my sleep short & get fitting. Old ones took ges to get out as they were bonded in!



Before



During



After



Also my Type R splitter turned up as well as fog lamp covers too. I loosely fitted them to the car to see what it's gonna look like .... just to get them painted up and fitted now

Because classic impreza boots always form a swimming pool due to leaking from round the rear lights

Im not all that keen on the replacement grills for the prefacelift, unless theres any new ones out from when I had mine. If I still had mine id want to give it the facelift front end, like SetH done with his, does the bonnet, lights & grill to later spec & looks much nicer.

But it's better than my one
Watching 2 on the bay, one is apparently a pro drive one, the other same as above. Both look the same though?
Either way they are both better than my current one, also looking at the 22b side vents for it
