Check out these WRC style lights.
 

-The WRC style headlights have a turn signal lamp right next to the air slit.
-I also like the twist of the sideskirts and rear bumper apron.
-Is that low profile spoiler the same as the factory unit?

Found them at Goeckel's site:

Where can we buy those?

The company is in Germany. I don't know if they make these exclusively or if they buy from somewhere else.

I had purchased a bunch of aero parts from them last year, and shipping is, (in my opinion), very expensive because the packages are oversized.

I have encouraged them to find a US distributor. They also sell pieces for the Forester, and the Legacy. There is also a Holzer designed supercharger kit for the euro 2.0L NA engines. >>>>Vendors??

Retail prices are fair, and most items are unique.

That website is in german, which I dont read.
How much is "expensive" for shipping, and how much did the parts you buy cost? I doubt I could afford buyign from overseas, but its worth a shot to see. The dollar now, is strong like bull.

On a $1800 order shipping was $385 +$50 customs.

These are the UK300 headlights, or seems that way. Which is the English (UK) version of WRX.

Correction, the UK300 is a [b]special edition[/b] WRX only sold in the UK, but it is not the standard UK version WRX. The "300" in "UK300" means that they are only making 300 of them.

All items these guys sell are for LHD cars like ours.
It is likely the lights will require splicing since the euro cars use different wiring.
Also their twin headlight assemblies for the GC8 Impreza's use H1 and H7 bulbs.

Thanks for sharing Albert. How difficult of a job would it be to splice those headlights in? I e-mailed the company and they gave me a reasonable (if my conversion is correct!) quote. I will have to consider shipping charges and the difficulty level of installation next before I order.

I have no idea, I would speculate it's along the line of some of the earlier imported morrettes that required splicing.
Great prices, terrible shipping:(

I found the kit at a UK shop. They say they expect them around August. If you are interested here is the link:

Wow, they export to the UK, but not North America.
Wait till August and do a price + shipping comparison.


edit: Shop wisely folks

Example>22B vents
Goeckel: 97DM(no vat)=$43
drmotorsport:65UK( ?? )=$92

A 55% markup?? To be fair do drmotorsport prices include vat?

ok, just found this thread. Anyone find out how much these headlights would cost? How about that grill. I think this is the best headlight option I've seen .

Ok. Wait. Are these the same rally style headlights that some of us have been so patiently awaiting in the Vendor classifieds??


Cause I am on that list and if these are a pic of them I will be happy. Nice.

Anyone noticed the grill on the 2nd pic is different from the other grills? Is it photoshop? Because it seems to be the same car and all the pics have the telephone pole on the back ground. Also, those are not the same as the WRC lights because the pic shawrf1 posted had the turn signal light at the top, the WRC lights has no lights at the top. Hope this straight things out.

Well, the shadows on the hood are different, looks likes some time had elasped, (it only takes 5 minutes to change a grill anyway there was no need to move the car).

Does it really matter even if the photoshopped it, the pics are for publicity and advertisement. my .02c

I believe the company has 2 different WRX kits. I like both the grills, but I think I like the grill in #1 more. those little circle grills on the sides make the car look exotic IMO.

I really like this entire kit. Even the roof scoop looks like it's supposed to be there. (wonder if it's functional... probably not) The kit is agressive looking but not so "knock you over the head look at me" as others such as the C-West kit.

Me like lots

I have had this web site many months ago, they are the best lookin lights avaible, i just havent been able to get them, but ONE THING, please dont ever compare these to the uk300 there so ugly (my opinion) compared to these, the uk300 look lopsided and uneven, and the way the have that turn signal.....YUCK, this is so much more like the actual wrc lights AND use a nice grill the uk doesnt....and position the turn signal in a better spot.....I hope some 1 sells these for a good price, i got a quote from a dealer in the uk that sed he could get them for me for i think it was 450 PAINTED the color of my car, i dont really remember, it was like 4 months ago...

Now that's the best looking front end I've seen yet, those lights (and grill) looks better than the JDM HID's.
Are you getting the rear window spoiler also??
Which skirts, rear apron, and spoiler so you think will complete the package:devil:

Well im getting the zerosports wing, but im getting the rest of the kit from the picture i showed above, the only thing im doing different is, instead of those foglight covers im putting the light covers from the silver one, i know it will look good.....I've been planning this for months.... -=)

I am seriously pursuing the import of the items seen on both the german site, and the drmotorsport site.

We will try to carry the lights as well as the full WRC style bodykits.

I can get the silver ones prepainted, but pretty much any other color is out (you'd have to get the silver kit and get it painted). The blue ones are backordered for the english market so there's hope of getting them here, but not soon...

I am receiving a price list this weekend, and all I can ask for is your patience for the next couple of weeks.

The official announcement is coming soon.

I agree. Silver mesh = Civic.
