Looks great mate. Reminds me of my old red one.
I wouldn't bother painting the skirts and door handles. Looks perfect the way Subaru intended.
Now if I can only find one in that good condition for 2.5K. There some dreamers about who still want 4k for similar specced motors.
Can I ask how many miles it has done?

Just a small update guys, sorry about the crap iphone pictures. Not much been going on with the car, I am thinking of maybe having a red/black theme running. Redoing the alloys Matt Black would go well and a carbon fibre bonnet scoop? On the look out for some STI rears aswell. Any resonable thoughts welcomed?
Anyway an STI carbon strut brace has been purchased and needs fitting, I did try it earlier today but it seems to be a few mm out, any advice?
New Hayward and Scott back box has been purchased, much happier with it than the old Prodrive one, Prodrive is far to quite, Hayward and Scott has a fine balance not in your face but you know its there.
New Toyo T1R's fitted to the rear and new Impreza and Prodrive badges fitted, far better than the crappy sticker you get. Thats all Folks.

These were always good alloys for a classic, better than the standard ones 
had some on my sonic blue MY00 when they came out (same colour as these, one of the first to start this trend ) a bit steep on the price and they have the usual bubbling around the centre but a good starting place for refurbing in the colour you want 
(these are called PD7's btw )

Looks nice, not a big fan of the badges/stickers, however the impreza badge is quite cool 
As for STi rears keep an eye on the for sale section as they often pop up. You need to be quick as they don't hang around long at a decent price. Expect to pay between £120-£150 for a pair.
You have to add a separate fog light or, like us, re-wire the D/S reverse light to the fog circuit and add a red bulb!
They'll look like this on yours

Just a small update, decieded to have the wheels refurbished matt black and redid all the brake calipers with a fresh coat of red hammerite. Fitted a pair of black Prodrive for lamp covers and a Prodrive sun strip. Car could do with a bit of a clean though.

Thanks thats a good idea, cheers pal. Yea teh black on red theme sets it apart I think.
Cheers, it was a bit of a job getting them fitted but I feel they do really look the part.
