nice, but really it should be plastered with mud

did it work out much cheaper than just buying a Forester STi?


oh and welcome to PH!

Mud ?! The most offroading this car is likely to see is going up the kerb onto my drive

tbh I'd have loved a Forester Sti but the intial outlay was too much for an 06, plus I had an Impreza to px which was easier through the main dealers rather than on a grey import. I've probably spent a bit less though I would say overall..

Couple more pics with a new Forester Sti grill fitted..

A friend of mine has bought a Forrester XT with the Prodrive Performance Package.
In fact it WAS Prodrive that was the owner of the car and it was their 2005 development vehicle.
Bloody quick !!!!!
