Unfortunately you'll pay over the odds for them as they are quite sought after nowadays.

Just a set of standard UK ones would be a big improvement.

Then all you have got to do is re-spray the wheel in a non-offensive colour ( ) and fit a standard front bumper.

Its also got the wrong bonnet on, hence the gaps above the lights.

A later bonnet, rear lights, some colour coding and spray the wheels black and it'll look tidy.

this is what it looks like now after spending around £35 on paint and some time up the garage and i think its a vast improvment.

Tbh just lower the car, get original rear lights and decide on a better colour alloy, I personally think red doesn't belong on any car, only a Ferrari.

i really dont get the need to paint wheels in stupid bright colours,it looks awful regardless of model/brand/colour-not just on subaru's but on all cars.

i would be embarrassed to drive around in a car with orange/green/purple/red/pink wheels etc

Is he starting on you now? He's not a very nice person from what it seems. He only loves his car and everyone else's is **** to him apparently! How about illuminus yellow will be hard to keep clean though
