Much better!!!

Even when you look through the showroom shine!

Still won't buy one though. Not yet. If this is what people can come up with after just a few months, imagine what is gonna be availiable in a years time!

I can not belive how much better it looks with this. Why could Subaru not do this to begin with???

On the black version it looks like they are trying to disguise the look of the oval housing by making the lights, grill and bits in between (what ever they are called) into one black area. Looks pretty cool like that. I'd love to see it in the flesh though, but it's making me think twice now..

Are those HID lights???

Sorry but it still looks AWFUL, no amount of new lights will help

Can't someone make a new front end, thats the only way.

If I want a Corolla I'll go buy the real thing not a bad copy. As sad as that is, its true.

Not that I'd actuall buy a Corolla, mind.

Maybe a brisk shunt into a brick wall will help??

PRODRIVE ARE SUPPYING TWO MY01 TO HUMBERSIDE POLICE IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS. THESE WILL SPORT THE PPP PERFORMANCE PACK, WRC TYPE REAR SPOILERS, TWIN H/LAMP CONVERSIONS ALTHOUGH THEY WILL BE THE WRC GAS TYPE SUPPLIED ONLY THROUGH PRODRIVE (MANUFACTURED BY HELLA ) SUMP GUARDS ETC. SEATS WILL BE MY01 1/2 IE SIMILAR TO THOSE IN THE MY00 IMPREZA. THE CARS WILL ALSO SPORT OTHER UPGRADES, DETAILS OF WHICH I AM UNABLE TO RELEASE. ONCE ROLE EQUIPPED I HAVE BEEN ASKED TO TEST THEM AND I WILL REPORT MY FINDINGS ON THE BOARD.

Just need the foglight blanking covers now... I think I hate those deep recessed foglights more than the bug-eyed headlights.

New front bumper anyone?

James.

Now that would look alot better

Subaru could offer it as a free bodykit upgrade??


Andy do you know what happened there? Quite a crash, excellent skid marks, nice whole in the wall.

Think the poor guy lost out to the cars will of reverting back to its past history... ploughing fields!!!!!!!! LOL

In going to fast round the corner, the car won and at the sake of killing itself, it went like all Subaru's wish to go, like their tractor/combine harvester ancestors did, in the middle of ploughing!!!! ROFL

Although it is good that the police buy cost-effective performance cars, I do not see how the rear spoiler or twin headlamp conversion is a justifiable use of taxpayers' money.

Also they could buy the non-turbo models instead. They would catch criminals who wouldn't be able to flee as they would be in fits of laughter at the ridiculous-looking police car!

Words fail me. It looked bad enough already, but those new lights? About as sexy as Nora Battys stockings. (Before anyone says it, that means NOT very sexy at all really )
