Never liked morette headlights on any Impreza, apart from the Bugeye, as standard lights look awful. Can't see what can beat oem lights on a classic.

I must admit, I wasn't as excited as I thought I would be when seeing the final result for the first time.
The next exterior mod in line are the Morette headlights which should complete the look (or at least so I hope).
So time will tell if the mesh grille was a right move or not.




I apologize for the bed pictures

Default Rear calipers

My rear brembos desperately needed a re-paint! And I’m well chuffed with the results!

Fitted this alloy strut brace originally supplied by TSL but not sure if they fabricated it or not. Lovely bit of kit though and was silly expensive when new.

I have a huge list of things I want to do to my car and this probably could have waited but it looks so much better.

Is it simple to fix the rattle from the reverse lifter?

Finally sourced a clip from the air box and quickly snapped my broken one.

Finally upgraded all speakers with Shaun's 3d printed spacers and sound deadening.

Sounds a lot better over standard

the picture above. The plastic along the edge of the header tank preventing the pipes rubbing.

Default New battery clamp

Since getting my hawk the positive battery terminal wouldn't tighten leaving the clamp loose. The only fix was to put a screw in it to tighten it.

Worked forever until someone in Russia sold me one for £11 delivered. So much cheaper then Subaru and I really don't like fitting second hand if I can help it.

Literally a 5 minute job.

My DAB signal is truly shocking and someone mentioned that the sticky copper section needs to stick to metal. I didn't realise this but went to tackle it today.

I can't stick the aerial any higher up and therefore can not stick the copper section to the roof of the car. It's just not long enough.



A quick think and wrapped the copper in tin foil and joined it to a long section above the headlining.

It's better then it was but still drops out.


Anyone else have a dab working?

Stick to metal ??

I see where you are coming from, just solder a length of wire to it and connect the other end to earth.
Maybe the orientation is wrong or you need an amplified aerial

Wanted to do this for over a year and finally think itll lool awesome when the new grill arrives.

Put the plate on a bracket for it to sit in the hole rather then on the bumper.

Just need to replace the screws with black ones.

I think it looks better in the hole.
