51E - Pure White. Same as my bug eye, I bought a touch up from paints4u.com a couple of years back, the match was pretty good. I think it was about £8 at the time.

That's a good point actually 😄. I've been working from home for the last two and a half years, so haven't driven in the dark for at least that long. I can't actually remember what the beam pattern is like (whether or not it kicks up to the left). I just don't want to give the French fuzz any excuses for a fine 😁.

Hi all, just wondered if anyone knows whether a JDM STi needs beam deflectors? I've got a set just in case but I'd rather not use them as I've had damaged headlights after using them in the past. Are the beams flat enough as is or is there a way of changing the beam direction within the lamp?

Declared SORN but hasn't been MOT'd since 2017. Maybe it's sat on a driveway somewhere?

Is your car an import by any chance?

Hi all, got a question for you Forester experts! My sister owns a 2007 JDM Forester. This morning she noticed that the headlining was wet pretty much all around the edges and also a small patch near the courtesy light in the front. My first thought was that the roof rail seals were letting in water, but thought I'd check here to see if anyone had any other ideas? We pulled the rear portion of the headlining down to see if we could see anything and it looks like the entire roof panel is wet too. The car doesn't have a sunroof so it's not the drain tubes..... Also, could someone confirm if it's an SG5 or an SG9? Pic below: Any advice is greatly appreciated!

About 13:45 today, guessing you were paying Triton a visit? Car looked and sounded phenomenal!

That is a seriously good looking car .

Welcome along! 👍

Thanks dude, that's very helpful!

Mine doesn't have the lights behind the covers, apparently you had to spec them when the car was new. I'm trying to find a pair as I prefer the look tbh. Rumour has it they're the same as the GC8 fogs but I can't find anyone that can confirm that 100%. I'll settle for a pair of UK spec lights as there's no way I'm paying £300 for the JDM ones .

Necrobump :D My current little project, a 1996 Toyota Glanza V. It was a right pile of poo when I got it, full of mouldy old food and other unidentifiable crud. It had been stacked into a kerb, had no oil in the sump and needed a thorough disinfecting. Shame really as it used to be a really really well looked after little car - my sister was the first UK owner, she then sold it to someone locally who ruined it. I had the chance to get it back so paid £500 for it last summer. Now it's almost ready to go back on the road, I just need to fit some new handbrake cables and it'll be booked in for the MOT. Then it'll be time for new paint, wheels, blah blah blah......it's already had a small fortune spent on it since I got it.

2003 is the changeover year isn't it? If yours is a BP, there's this one in the classifieds. I'm not sure if it'll fit a BH though.....

Evening all. I'm looking at this part on ICP (https://www.importcarparts.co.uk/parts-info?id=13586&cat=0&sub=0&sec=0&var=0&dc=&gen=&searchKey=&searchPart=J2010FE022), however it says it's for LHD cars only. Does anyone know what the difference is? I can't see how it would be different with the latch etc being in the centre and not offset like the later cars. Or is there's a part number kicking about for a RHD version?

Still looks fairly clean though! Best of luck bringing it back to it's former glory 👍
