  1. Tbh, its mainly for the look most people go for. Just buy the horns and fit them with no wiring lol. They are loud and sound better tho. Watch this for the install:
  2. The horns were easy. Remove the bumper, install the bracket and horns, pop out the plug from the factory horn and attach it to the wires in the kit, run the live to the battery and the ground to the bodywork. I ordered the kit from SubiSpeed in the US. Everything you need is in it.
  3. The mudflaps on the black one were already on it. On the blue one it was rallyarmor I ordered from tarmacsportz. Exhaust is borla, ordered from the US via a UK supplier. I put my mishimoto cold air intake on the black one too.
  4. Not on this car. The girlfriend had an accident and wrote the car off. 2 weeks later I bought the same make/model & year but in black. Already has some of the same stuff on it as I put on the WRB.
  5. Have you done any power mods? I hit peak boost of 1.31 with a CAI and cat-back.
  6. Maybe https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161571016177 dont enter car details, it fails most of the time as it hasn't been entered correctly. Look to see if it looks the same as your current ones.
  7. Inverness! Not seen anyone in this thread from here yet lol
  8. Got the shock of my life tonight. Came home to the girlfriend hoovering the car lol. I guess if you nag enough she will do it. Decided to give it a wash and she helped too 👍 Got some photos of the hellahorns too. I also got some nice door striker covers today. I thought they would look good and get rid of the horrible steel/silver colour.
  9. Is that 2015+ STI an import? It has the USDM grille and the UK doesn't get that, we get the JDM grille. Wish I'd known this was on
  10. Finally got the front lip on the car. The rear spats went on 2 months ago. It was a bit of a pain the butt trying to get the bolts into the bottom of the bumper but got there eventually. Got the hellahorns installed tonight. Not got a picture yet as it started to get dark by the time I finished. Will post pics tomorrow or the next day. Ordered some LED indicator bulbs. Just need to find a relay with a resistor built in now to stop the hyper flashing. I got some fly eye on the fog/drl lights as the shop didn't have the full yellow I wanted. Waiting for it to arrive then changing it. Also going to get the roof wrapped in gloss black.
  11. Looks like from Feb 2011 that they must have DRL's. Might have to find another way of running a set. There might be a better set of fog/drl housings online.
  12. Tbh, it is a crap idea for them. You need to go under the car to change the bulb which is rediculous. -1 for Subaru! I was going to get rid of the DRL's and put in a better set of fog lights but not sure if I should.
  13. Has anyone replaced the OEM DRL bulbs with LED's? Ordered some but they are too wide to fit in the housing. Looking for somewhere that I can buy them in the UK. Not sure how wide they are. Ps. The housing with the fog lights and DRL's together.
  14. I fitted my ht autos front lip last week or the week before. The 3 bolts along the front edge of the bumper were a c*nt to get my fingers into to get the washer and nut on lol. Do you have an image of the hose clamp on the exhaust? I was thinking about doing that but i'd like to find a better way to achieve the same thing
  15. Thanks. No, you dont need a remap with cbe or cai. If you change the down pipe then it would require a remap. I will be doing this soon. Just got to find one that I want or someone in the UK that can supply one. Not sure if the 2011-2014 model has the same pipe.
  16. Been busy for the last few weeks so not had much time for posting. Got the HT Autos front lip installed yesterday. No pics of it yet but will post them when I do. Put the rear spats on about 6 weeks ago so thought it was time for the front lip to go on. Just got the dreaded side skirts to put on now. Ordered a set of led number lights and installed them last week. They are really bright and crisp looking. Got a pair or red led footwell lights that I need to install too. Not sure wether to hook them up to the dome light so they come on when the door opens or to the map light.
  17. Borla https://vimeo.com/209462153
  18. I wondered the same on my 64 plate. I just checked the vin number. It confirmed it was a 15 model
  19. Its the look that made me buy them. I found them for £14 on wish. If id have seen them first id have bought them and not even bothered wiring them up.
  20. If I could find a decent priced grille I'd have changed mine by now. Only one I like so far, not fully set on it, is the subispeed nbr grille. Seems the UK has sweet FA for the 2015 so far. The US seems to have all the parts, and a lot cheaper too. Maybe I can make a friend in the US who can buy the stuff for me and send it over
  21. Haha i ordered mine from subispeed for my 2015 STI. Arrived in 3 days. Cost £150-170 all-in-all with import tax etc
  22. A lot. Its not really the sound but the grumble that makes it louder. Its hard to explain. I have a before and after but can't work out how to upload via my phone on here. Hope this works: Stock https://vimeo.com/209461986 Borla https://vimeo.com/209462153 Video doesn't do it justice. I'll see if I can get more this weekend.
  23. How are you sound proofing it? Where are you buying the stuff from?
  24. Does anyone know where I can get these gloss black buttons in the UK?
  25. Picked up the Borla exhaust at 6pm earlier/last night. By 9pm it was all installed and sounding perfect. It has a much better rumble than the standard exhaust and boxes. Id recommend this exhaust to anyone looking for a better sound.
