Doesnt look much but................

Automatic or manual folding mirrors that retract when you switch off the ignition!!!! Ready sprayed in Sonic blue!

The bizarre thing is that when my P1 was shipped into the country as a JDM STI version 5 to be fettled by Prodrive it had these mirrors on it! Prodrive then took them off and put the non folding mirrors on it!!! Same as the STI rear lights that I had to buy and "put back on it" (the reason for the lights was the obvious lack of a fog lamp but why were the folding mirrors taken off?)

This is like Aprilia, they send the bikes from Italy with full power, only for the retailer's to restrict them and remove the powervalve?

I mean WTF? What a waste of time, everyone is going to drill out the restrictor and fit a powervalve as soon as they get it so why waste the time?

The other thing is............they are totally plug and play!!!

You take out the original switch, plug this switch in. Take off the original mirrors and plug these in!!!???

I can see why they changed the rear lights but why the mirrors? Do they fail the crash testing or something???

Also they take out the nice climate control and put in air con!!!??? Why?

Nice to see someone doing a styling mod on a scooby rather than just tuning the balls outta the engine!

They look pretty cool them!

Cheers pal! More of a gadget thing tho really cos they look exactly like the mirrors that are already on it!

Will save me having to keep getting out of the car tho to close them when i put it in my tiny garage, so I guess they are a good security feature as well!!

I wanted an Evo but my cheapest insurance quote last year on one was over £4k cos they are mainly imports!

Thats why I had to settle for a nice UK Impreza P1

Same here I wanted an STi but insurance was double so got UK PPP for now - another year I think and a Type R or Evo 5/6 will hopefully be mine

What year is it? What power does the PPP take a UK turbo 2000 to?

Just went with a MY96 - PPP takes it to about 245/250bhp it will do me for now then hopefully get something else once insurance calms down a bit

A couple of things for you Stu on the P1, P1 didn't get the intercooler spray and the adjustable centre diff was deleted and four channel abs was fitted instead, also climate was deleted and air con fitted due to the switchgear protruding to far. this was same for the mirrors no european model was fitted with folding mirrors so the P1 was no exception. the Glass was also changed from the type-r dark tint to EU reg green All this is to keep within EU regulations.
