Nice new blue color, but I think the gold was rather nice, certainly unique.

Much nicer than that horrible bronze/gold colour!
I hope that you are pleased with it as you spent lots of hours re-painting it in a different colour! ...btw a great choice of Blue!

no.6 here. was gonna try and politely type a response to the gold/brown car when I realised I was being an idiot. who`d want a gold/brown car? very nice indeedy

Paul Palmer: last night you told me that my older grille would look much better colour coded, I agree now

WRXSMO: still need to come down and discuss colour coding on mine. I`ll be there soon as.

It was me who painted this car, I had to do a complete respray as the paint somebody had used previously had cracked like I have never seen before, which you can not see in the first pic, which is why I had to paint strip it. It was silver originally but fancied WR blue. Thanks for nice comments....

Yes, LittleKnocks is owned/run by 3 brothers & a friend, we've all worked for various dealers in the past like Merc, BMW, Porsche etc
Martin (scoobyfury) did most of the paintwork on this one altho we cant miss out Dave & Tom who both put in hours & hours too getting rid of that mosiac like gold paint & preparing all the panels !
We chose the colour because we had never seen a classic in WR Blue (plus it's been great to take a 10+yr old Impreza & make it look like new )

Thanks for all the kind comments.

Without the labour (coz we did it ourselves) it cost about £300

Took about 4 weeks in our spare time

If you are going to something, you may as well do it right!
