Some of you already know about this, but for those who don't...
Yes, it may sound strange, but i've been toying with the idea of fitting a WRX front bar onto an EA. Dave, John an I went to the same plastics recycler John got his front bar from (they give them away for free. They had a huge pile of bumpers and the front, so we went rumuging to see what we could find. We came across a damaged WRX front bar, and for a laugh we put it next to Dave's EA. "Holy sh!t, this might actually work!!!" So we took the bar home, and had a go at balancing it in place on my EA.
Here are two pics, one of the actuall photo, and a photochopped version of what it could look like. (just ignore the STI badges ) Note that the front bar has not been modified at all to fit the front of the EA, it is as we found it...

I am torn as to whether i should keep my car looking stock (less attention from theives, cops etc), or whether i should make a nice looking kit for it. The main reason i'm thinkin of doing this is i want to fit a cooler to my car in the near future (it will be supercharged for those who don't know) and i simply don't like the look of an EA bumper that's been hacked up to fit it, so fitting the WRX front bar will be both functional, very unique and IMO really suites the EA.
Let me know what you guys think!! I know this is prolly gunna divide the ford community in half, as some will see it as rice, while I hope others will see past it's Ricer origins
