The silver one works well in car, but could benefit from the instrument binnacle surround being silver too. The impreza interior is pretty dull and dark, so a touch of silver here and there could improve things.
Both look good quality.

The silver brightens up the interior, but its a bit much on the eyes, I prefer the black one, and as you said, it lights up at night which helps

UPDATE PICS
NEARLY FINISHED
Can anyone help need to get some backlight dials made Ive managed to make a actual size template but just needs refining as only got windows paint and the white is a bit blurry,Will be leaving the aircon/re cerc switches in the top vents as this saves smoothing them off.This version has got the cup holders at the top,ashtray, cig lighter and din size heater controlls as suggested by other members
Bellow is what I need made up they must be able to be backlit either sticker or if possible on a thin piece of plastic in black
cheers KIP
If anyone has got any ideas for consoles let me know and ill have a go if feasable
