Should look .

Looking forward to seeing the TA ones.

Need to sort out some arches. Itching to get them on now. There was a point when I thought the scoob would have to go but it's staying .

I was thinking of going black with them to contrast the white and match the splitter. The roof needs painting as the lacquer is peeling, or I have got enough black vinyl to wrap it. Think it'll be too much black?

Spoiler should be coming off this weekend and for now I'll just cover the holes with some white vinyl. So full steam ahead in time for the main shows.

Looking forward to seeing yours Matt.... I think it would be best all in white.

You going to stretch to some TE37's? I think this kit would look awesome on yours, in white, with dark gun metal TE37's.

I think it'll need a little black to break it up. Perhaps I'll have to have a little play with photoshop. TE37's would look schweet but funds won't allow at the moment. The missus got made redundant whilst on maternity leave so have to hope she'll get a job as soon as she can. The earliest being September.

The wheels I have my eye on are white but only 15". Althought they are fairly wide and have an offset of 11 M444GY has some wheels I rather like as well. They'd have been on the car already if money had been better.

Maternity leave... redundancy... sounds like discrimination a court case and mucho compensation to be spent on Impreza mods to me . Seriously though, seen many cases of maternity leavers never being made redundant due to potential court cases (including some kept on despite being useless).

Best of luck to her finding a new job!

I was dreaming of some Advan RS, which are what the Rotas on this thread are based on, but ended up buying 2nd hand MOs.

Offset of 11!!! cripes! Going to running a seriously wide track!

That'd be wicked. could have a nice 450/450 classic off the back of it.

To be fair we'd known about the redunancy for a while before she fell pregnant. She hung on at her place so she could get paid out rather than going to another job and not having any maternity leave. She is getting maternity pay which is a good thing. She could start working before september but we'd have to pay back a portion of the maternity pay.

I'm trying to think of things she can do so that she can work from home. I did suggest that she learns to drive and I teach her to detail. Wasn't up for that though

Mo's are a stunning set of wheels. Always wanted a set of them. The Advan RS are gorgeous to. But for the cost over the Rotas, I think I'd take the Rotas and spend what's left over on other mods. How's yours coming along?

Fair enough... can't understand why she didn't want to learn how to detail

Advans too much for me as well considering other costs so went with my next favourite. Mine is coming along well, problem after problem (due to previous bodged attempts) to overcome but getting there... Will be out and about soon.. I hope.

Some moan about breaking her nails and it involving cars

Be good to see it again. it's a cracking example of a classic Impreza, one of my favs.

For me if you go for the gti it'll need putting back on standard rims and trying to make it look as original as possible. That just the way i am with cars like that.

Your scoob looks very nice too. The right colour to make it look like the one that started it all off for Daren to make these arches.
