Haha cheers. To be fair though that new shape looks mean in person, those wide arches give it real stance and presence!
It's also been mapped to just over 320 horses. My classic is probably running about 265 horse as it's older and never been mapped to my knowledge, so in a straight line sprint these cars are perfectly matched!

I agree with this. It was the shape I/we all fell in love with in the 90's.
Not a massive fan of the new Impreza shape tbh.

To be honest I've just bought this car and it came with the mini front plate... Not even sure if it's legal!

It's not.
The font has to be a specific size. Only import cars, which cannot physically fit a UK sized car number plate, are allowed small motorbike fonts. I got pulled because the No 4 was "Squashed" on my number plate (same as you, was on when I bought it)
Nothing a quick trip to Halfords won't rectify.
The size of the number plate isn't an issue...it's purely the font size and spacing.
