Perfect, let me know because it's a mod that I really want to do but without a template I can't do nothing, do you have some additional photos about the installation?

No, sorry, was too terrified of making a mistake to stop and take photos. I basically held the vent up to line up with the body line, marked where the legs landed, lined the template up to these and drew the cut line, dremel to cut it off along with some of the bumper bracket then trimmed the front of the vent itself to clear the metal bulge on the chassis. Push clips on the legs along with 3m tape and a bead of white sealant to close the gaps as our bumper is slightly different to the wrx curve
Got the rear fog delete done today, super easy, rear garnish off and straight swap of light housings. Came with the loom extension from the reverse light on the other side. Havent tested it yet. Just gotta wait for xmas for my wrx style centre light and ill get that wired in as my rear fog along with the black led reflectors. 
Still waiting on my led reverse bulbs to brighten up the rear but all working well. Did start to wire in the reflectors and make a loom for the wrx centre light but all my crimp pliers have disappeared so thats on the back burner. Instead, i got the varis mid level wing out and got that stuck on, did a bead of panel bond round it along with the 3m vhb tape so hopefully its on there for good!

Very interested on wrx style rear fog light, do you have a link or some photos?
Also got the headunit swapped temporarily until the few other wiring adapters arrive: 
For anyone else doing the headunit swap, i needed a 20 pin subaru adapter for the audio and power input, luckily i found one that went straight to the android plug. You also need the 5 pin vehicle information loom to get reverse and parking brake and speed signals. Saw on another post that a 12-6v converter is required to get full function of the multifunction screen back so got that to fit along with the reverse camera wiring when the loom adapter arrives from japan. Currently no compass or fuel consumption challenge screen but no big drama.
I went with the xv aircon controller as well as looked the same as wrx but cost £15 not £100.

Thank you so much mate, appreciate
Little more done today, pull this rats nest of wires out from behind the headunit and speedo that all seems to have all been mainly for the etc reader. Also ordered a replacement fuse box coin pocket door to replace the etc version. I got the reverse camera wired up and working from the steering wheel controls until the adapter comes for the factory “vehicle information” plug

Got the zerosport style extra induction scoop for xmas, bit of a bigger job than expected but still fairly easy. Front bumper off, crash bar off, radiator panel off and cut up then just bolt the scoop on. Fits great and pretrimmed for the crash bar mounts etc. Can just see it through the grill but not really in the photo. Dont expect it to do much but love me some carbon, haha
Over the last couple of days, got a few bits done. Got the wrx style fog light fitted, waiting on adapters to wire in along with the corner lights. Wrx style can be stop/tail/fog/reverse/indicator, i was only planning reverse and stop/fog so may not connect it all but will make the complete loom anyway. Not sure on mot rules so will have the bumper reflector lights as either stop/tail or brake/fog too.
My c-light led boards arrived from aliexpress. All worked in the box so bumper off again and headlights out. I think the cold made the mastic easier to split as they werent too bad at all, plastic trim tools got the lens off. Tee’d into the original board wiring for c light and ran a wire down to the indicator wiring each side. Will see how long they last.
60mm oil pressure gauge arrived too. I wasnt expecting a sender with it but there was so now ill just tee into the factory switch location under the oil filter. KillerB tee on its way.
Painted the silver adjustable ring on the front black and highlighted the marker in the white pearl of the cars exterior. Just waiting on the zerosport speedo gauge pod to arrive to get this fitted.
