Default Advice on totally standard Silver UK Classic- my first Subaru

Hi guys, I've finally bought my first Subaru and I'm picking it up this Friday. It is COMPLETELY standard and I honestly don't know whether to keep it looking that way.

Do you think I should colour code the wing mirrors, door handles, side skirts and rear spats or leave them all standard? I am really torn because you don't find many in this standard original condition! I have some tein lowering springs ready for when I get it and crystal clear side lights but wondering whether to leave the orange side lights in now as well....

Opinions needed! Thanks all.

Turbo 2000? All the parts you have listed and east bold on, so I would get some
Extras cheap and get them painted and keep
The black items in a box if you ever wanted to swap them back

Yes 1999 v-reg UK Turbo 2000.

I think that colour coded would look a lot better but just don't know whether to keep that complete standard retro look? Buying extra replacement bits separately and painting would be an idea I guess.

Yes it has the standard 16" 5-spoke silver wheels. I will post pictures at the weekend when I get it home.

I'd keep it standard if its in great condition. There are plenty that are modded.
But as has been said, its your car, and perhaps keep the bits to put it back to standard when you sell.

Enjoy
