You are quite right (ofcourse!:D) Ive said my bit (rightly or wrongly) so i will climb back in my shell now.:blush5:

Ha ha :)
I think you have every right Russ. Every right to admit you were wrong ;) and every right to speak your mind, even when you're wrong ;)
I suppose I just like things to be a bit different. I like Impreza's wingless too, like Ian's (DaOne's) Having said that, hot hatches with big wings is wrong.

Please tell me you haven't got any Clio's with big wings? (New project etc :D )

These are great value cars if you find a good one.

I have driven/worked on a couple. Tuneable to 250hp easily and for reasonable money to 300hp which is enough really as then you really struggle for traction.

Good! I`m glad we ve cleared that one up!:D
And unless its a factory spec dynamique etc.. item, then absolutly no big wings have/or will ever be fitted to any of my clio`s:thumbs:
That said the new WRX (note not impreza anymore) is creating quite a stink for not having the rear spoiler as standard.

Or an E39 M5, a IS-F or a few other powerful saloons I think. Not bad.......but why drop the Impreza name?
