You should give it a clean mate, looks filthy

Crystal clear front indicators and paint the wedges, and that would improve the front no end.

Then,

Go for colour coding the side skirts etc.

Then a new exhaust, maybe some 17's or 18's, lower it.....

The list goes on and on!!!!!

Have fun!!!!

Get another mortgage to cover the mods

Leave it alone, it looks great the way it is. If you modify it don't forget to buy yourself a baseball cap and put it on backwards.

In 5 yrs the only people left interested in Imprezas will be true enthusiasts who for the most part will want a standard one. Look at any other cult/performace car and you'll see this is true.

A zorst is the only acceptable (visible) mod, all that cosmetic crap with different coloured indicators just smacks of halfords/max power modding. Plus its naff to change the styling of your car. The only exception I can think of to this rule are true custom cars not just changing bits of plastic and colour coding skirts etc.

Before I get flamed by the mod your car styling brigade, please feel free to carry on doing that stuff to your cars it seems to make you very happy. The topic asked for an opinion and so I given as honest an answer as possible. I think his car looks the bollox the way it is now. Nice and standard, just needs a zorst and decat for the extra power along with a remap. All tasteful mods that will leave your car looking standard (ish) and will surprise the hell out of a lot of other drivers with its speed.

forgot to add a set of PIAA's will improve the lighing no end and they don't screw up the cars looks.

Keep the original fogs too for later.

Thanks for the input.

I'm not going to go mad or anything. Would like to put a decent
exhaust all the way through inc downpipe.

Hiya chap, the other side of the coin regarding keeping your car standard....................It's boring

I have modded my car (Same as yours but y reg) and kept all of the original parts. This means that when i come to sell, I'll turn it back into a standard car, sell off the spoilers, dump valves, exhausts etc and everyone is happy AND i would have had an "individual" car.

Looks nice mate. i know loads of people trying to update their car (as they have the earlier scoob) to look more like yours. The bonnet, lights, grill and bumper looks 10 times better compared to the earlier scoobs. Thats why i updated mine.

Get your **** round my house mate! lol
