My brother in law doesn't want to have anything to do with the Subaru, reckons it's better to just sell it and get another later in the year :(. Suppose he is right as there will be someone out there who doesn't mind a little project as the car is fixable. I am going to put it on ebay along with my spares :). Shame really as the engine, gearbox and interior is all lovely. Also with having all that work done to it recently, new decat up pipe, turbo reconditioned and ninja back box (Prodrive back box included in sale). I will be getting another one because I feel lost without it!

It's alright, good on fuel just boring to drive! The wipers on mine are normal thank god. if it helps... it's blue?

This weekend I'm going to start stripping my car of it's damaged panels ready for new ones :). I'm missing the car loads! EDIT: Savage that engine bay is like !Removed!, some great work :D. Was it hard work reversing the inlet?

Have you checked torrents?

Avoided seeing my car since the crash, waiting until this weekend then starting to strip the damaged stuff off and get shopping :D. Quite enjoying driving the Leon... the fuel gauge doesn't go down!

It was either get a replacement which is hard for that spoiler or go crazy and get the wrc one ;). Probably wouldn't look right though lol.

If you do have that boot and spoiler up for sale that would be awesome! I was gutted to see it smashed :(. Nice, will have a look. Reckon he will send a subframe via post ;)

After the following (ordered by importance): Front subframe Front cradle Front crossmember Alloys wheels (possibly just 1 Dare ST in gold) Front NS wing Rear bumper Front NS door Rear NS door Rear NS quarter Spoiler Think that's about it... not much of a shopping list ;)

:) ;) :D :o

Browsing bits for my car, hardest thing is going to be that rear panel... will leave that until last I think. Major ones first such as wing, rear bumper and spoiler. Also done a little diagram to show how the car span, more for my own understanding of what went on. (Art isn't one of my strong points)

Yeah that was exactly my plan ;)

Thanks for the messages guys :). I've just written it off as a bad experience and focusing on setting things right. I've got a Seat Leon 1.9TDI now as a run around will then start buying bits for my Subaru :). On the bright side insurance dropped by £240, tax by £100 and fuel is gonna be cheaper as well haha. Head has been really sore today! Not able to leave your car alone are you savage? :P. How much neater can you make it? Looking forward to racing tomorrow night guys, watch out though I'm prone to spinning out ;)

Well, farmer will accept cash so that's calmed me down. Probably because the road is covered in **** from his fields lol. Car is off the road and will now be a project getting a run around. I'm going to keep this Subaru till death I think, I love it! Even if it is a bit dented.

Big time, having people stare at me sat there as they drove past . Was amazed though, after checking fluids are all okay I turned key and it started straight away!

A lot of it is panel damage, alloy wheel is knackered and subframe is a little bent. Other than that it can be on the road soon.

Yeah testing my skills for forza lol. I'm sore but okay. I will get a few more pics of car when I start looking what's wrong. I've had the car a year Ash, brother had it for 3 before me.

Inadequate driving skills mixed with an unexpected slippery road

Oh dear

Why not... it's awesome ;)

On the mounts yeah, standard 3 bolts. Then on the brace bar one thick bolt. I didn't try forcing it into place as such seeing as it was so far out, if that is what you are meant to do I may have been a bit too impatient lol

Won't fit if the bolt holes don't line up matt, when I had the brace mounts fitted to the strut tops the brace bar itself was too long. Thought it was my car but Gambit just confirmed the length is wrong

Thanks Gambit, that's a fair difference. Could say 82cm for me if it was measured the same as yours which is still going to make it quite a bit bigger

haha yeah that's right, will drop them back down now I've had my fun

You sly dog savage, you know all the tricks don't you . Decided to up the tyre pressures as an experiment, bad move, car slides like its on ice all the time lol. On the plus side I'm having loads of fun on corners now, who needs snow?!

I just measured the bar, bolt to bolt (center of each) and it comes to 83cm
