Looks better doesn't it ?
Now for some arty shots
and my username sticker thanks to baldrick73 - Thanks make, spot on.
She does look good even pretty much standard form. I just can't wait to get the lowering springs and rear arb and other mods that I want to do which I mentioned in my wonderful thread in imprezasport.net

I did think about that at the time of removing the 2.0 badge from under the o/s rear light.

Thanks mate. I might remove the other sticker on the other side. not sure how I would remove the SUBARU lettering. Same method as before, hairdryer and ease the letter off??
The stickers where £10 for the pair from a guy on imprezasport.net. The same guy did my imprezaspot.net stickers as well.

Yes. It may not be for plastics, but I find it works and quite well. The plastics on imprezas is more rubbery than atucal plastic, so the tire spray works.

My sport has got the same sort of door dings, one a pilar dent (not sure how that could happen there) and hairline scratches. But my cleaning and waxing helps to disguise them
