Damn you would have to be pretty picky to change anything, she is pretty damn good as she is
But if you want an opinion then here it is

JDM blob rear lights (they look nicer than the UK ones) and a nice big brake setup.
Gold actually suits white cars in alloy wheels, though antracite would also be nice

I would get STi headlights, WRC/prodrive front bumper or only foglight covers if you can't afford the bumper, repainted rims in gunmetal or white and maybe WRC S7-S8 styre mirrors.
Yes mate you are! The "lexus crap" on the Hawkeye I'd agree looks crap on all other versions of the car BUT the white one - I think looks mint.

Anyway, if you look closely at the photo above you'll note that it's not all silver, there are fine grey lines in it, so it just looks a bit different.

Prodrive bumper is great but rare, especially in white I'd wager! I don't favour the WRC one so much - bit cheaper looking I think...
What do WRC S7-8 style mirrors look like?

Haha i guess im "special" then But i prefer the "old" and milky look to them, dont like clear light everywhere, looks to cheap IMHO But i seem to be the only one with that opinion

And i know the 07 hawkeye taillights are grey and not chrome, still looks like crap i think

S7-S8 mirrors are the mirrors used on the 2001 and 2002 spec works WRC Imprezas, they look like this:



From 2003-2008 they used this type:

I think bumper and clusters conversion cost me around £160 including the respray.
the bumper was bought from japperformanceparts for £90 which needed repair. the rear lights were £80 from a member off here. spoiler is an original sti8 one which i bought for £150. plus i have a ht auto carbon diffuser which cost me £150.

respray/repair cost me another £150 and £30 for fitting the diffuser

Black Front Splitter and Perrin Veins in the STI rear spolier along with some Dark rims would be my next steps.

I think that's cos it has been lowered mate.
Mine's on Prodrive springs and it doesn't look much lower than that.
I wouldn't want it much lower or you'll be getting your front splitter repainted every 5 minutes

bug-eye STI scoop.

Two Perrin wing stiffies.

Rear roof spoiler a la hawkeye.

P.S. I personally would go for black on the splitter myself.
