Kit looks excellent tho cant wait to see the rear

i am very interested in these arch extentions too

It was only tongue in cheek the comment about leave this thread buddy , I've no problem with other pics/posts .
I'm waiting for some arches to come so I can alter them to fit a classic ,I know some people use arches made for other cars on Impreza's but I can't see many being happy with the fit .
I'm relying on someone else to get them to me so out of my control atm ,I'll keep you all informed
Does anyone like my kit btw

I've made the rear diffuser which we've just trial fitted ,hence the masking tape
