Sorry, but do you actually mean you're looking for the wedges under the front indicators that aren't orange??
AFAIK, they are painted orange on all colour of classic Impreza. I wouldn't wate your time trying to find any simply coz I don't think they exist in any other colour.
Anyway, a Dealer will probably charge you more than they're worth and they take a matter of 20 mins to re-spray them whatever colour you want.

Yeah, just give them a quick re-spray; it doesn't take long.
I've done mine twice. 1st time I just gave them a very quick sand, then sprayed them with some colour-coded paint from Halfrauds.
2nd time was just the other week. Wasn't because the 1st time sucked, but I was re-spraying my PIAA lamp pods anyway and fancied re-spraying them black. They'd been on the car for almost a year and they still looked in tip-top condition.
So, this time I sanded them, covered in a couple of coats of primer. Then 3 coats of gloss black and finally a couple of coats of clear lacquer.
Spray time is literally 20 mins and if done outside in decent weather they will dry in 5-10 mins between coats.

Use some thinners and take the orange paint off, they are black underneath!!
LOL, that's far too easy :D
Anyway, they don't look as nice and shiny with some coats of gloss paint and lacquer :)
