Don't think so chief, I don't have an sti! My point is that a standard bug wrx looks ****e with its wafer thin bonnet scoop and black plastic side skirts. Sti bugs and ones that have been cosmetically modded a bit look quite cool, But standard ****e.

Thoughts guys?

I had colour coded door handles on my RA. Swapped them for the OE black plastic ones and got loads of compliments on them.

Love is in the eye of the beholder. OE is the new modded.

Agree, the best looking cars ive seen on here the past 6 months have been That restored P1, That mint type RA(silver scooby sport??) in the projects section, and that blue Type RA with gold milleniums/st2's, and your Type RA isnt to bad

Love restored cars, and glad that more and more Subaru's are being restored

I see one every week when I visit my dads house, as he has a mint standard bug WRX, that has no rust on the rear arches and is detailed pretty much every 3 months, but I wouldn't say it excites me in the same way when I see a mint classic.

Even a mint classic Turbo 2000(old version of a UK WRX) I can appreciate, Think there is a nice one Ive seen on here, a mint silver turbo 2000 owned by Scott.T(I think thats his username???)

I appreciate S202's, Bugeye Spec C etc, but I dont think newage Impreza's have that same wow factor as the classics.

I'm from the USA but bugeyes are my favorite of all years. Here are my two bugs. I also have a 2004 Foz xt and the wife has a Legacy.

Here in the states bugeyes only came as WRX so it took me time and money to make them nice. Lots of rare and jdm parts on both my bugeyes.

Thanks, I think haha. It's aggressive but I used to have just the stock with no fogs or covers and it needed something better. It's an authentic JUN bumper.

Here's a pic with stock.
