GavLadLeeds Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Hi all. I have a 56plate hawkeye WRX. The guy before me has made it look like an STi. It has the STi rear spoiler and STi pink badges on the front and rear. Should I remove the badges and stop pretending the car is an STi? Should I put the original WRX spoiler on too? Can't decide.

Gaulson Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 The only thing that would possibly bother me is the badges, the spoiler has a much nicer look than the standard :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R0llamite Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 could probably turn a little profit off the STi bits but id keep the spoiler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tlag Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I agree. I'm a great believer in not badgeing something that it's not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I would say go with your own personal preference mate if you like it I shouldn't worry about it. But if you was asking would I do it no I wouldn't :) I had STI stickers on when I've had the WRC decals on but that was part of the set :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GavLadLeeds Posted July 10, 2014 Author Share Posted July 10, 2014 I'm going to take the badges off but keep the spoiler. It is probably less likely to get nicked without STi badges too! Thanks for advice all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Pete Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I had a classic that had P1 splitter, Sti spoiler, 22b bonnet vents and I de badged the whole car apart from the front grill. As gambit said it's your motor so go with what ever floats your boat. Personally I don't like cars that have the Sti/Gti/turbo/RS badges when they aren't.

GavLadLeeds Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 The car also has wind deflectors running from the front to rear windows. Does anyone know how to get these off? Is it an easy job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 should be just a case of unclipping them - wrt the badges, up to you but I would go with others stay with the styling but remove the badges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Pete Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Wind defielctors will have 2 metal tabs holding them into the door frame and some dble sided tape at the edges. Just give them a pull from the middle and they should pop out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfnick Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 As others have said, I'd get rid of the STi badges but definitely keep the Spoiler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
