my car is insured correctly,,,, standard, no mods. 1.2 engine, no turbo and 7 doors and seats 12 people just like all other imprezas
some forums at times are just soo uptight,,, ive got alot of cash and time invested into my shed,,,,, i know how much these cars are to run,, i spend 380 quid a month on fuel using it as a daily runner though my insurance is very cheep ( i REALLY recomend keith micheals,,,,,, and thats ignoring the fact i would rather drive with no insurance than get my car insured with Aplan again,,,, the company who got my car taken from me for no insurance !!! when it was )
--To the rest of you guys...
I'm not sure if this is the same as neffy wrap but bounced up on it on another forum and it looks a little glossy:

Good work there Stu. I've started mine the other night, started with the rear interior window switch/handle, getting the feel for the stuff.
Heat from the hair dryer is a massive help, really easy to mould rounf the corners then.
I see your finding plenty to cover lol, but you had no joy yet in finding out about the front round air vents?
Maybe poss to cover them whilst still attached?

WOW STU!!! I'm really loving this... I think I'm gonna copy as much of this as I can (in terms of parts to wrap) on my 98 classic, along with the center console trim and vent surrounds and so on. Just plain amazing! 
I was really thinking of doing those parts like what you covered on mine too but didn't see any pics as reference as to how they would turn out. But after seeing yours I'm sold!
Quick question though... Which material did you use? Di-Noc? And how much did you need to do all those parts. I wanna do those parts and the few i mentioned along with the top blade of my wing and the lower section of my bumper in that sits below the radiator grill between the fog lamp areas.
Any idea on how much I would need?

Not sure how much you would need for spoiler and bumper, just measure them up and add some extra, never cut them to exact size trim when it's been appied. If you email the seller he would prob sell bigger sizes.
Stu.... that looks fantastic. My alternative 'Neffy Wrap' arrived on Saturday as well as a sample piece of the 3M Di-Noc stuff. From a distance there's very little in it.
The 3M stuff is vinyl so seems to be a lot easier to work with whereas the Neffy is a fabric-like substance requiring spray-on glue. Gonna give both a go next week and will pop up pics soon enough.
Incidentally.... if you pop over to the 3M website, you can 'request' a sample piece of the Di-Noc (in any of the 8 colours) to have a play with
