Default Thanks to NASIOC, mine could look like this...

Being a member on NASIOC.com I see lots of loverly styled, tuned, modded Impreza's, Legacys and Forester and the od Justy.

This got me thinking on mods I could do to make my UK sport, look a little less UK and a little more JDM/USDM.

I have had a little play with photoshop with some of the planned mods I hop to do:

16" UK Turbo alloys painted in matt black
H&R 50mm lowering springs
STi6 Front lip left matt black
STi4 midlevel spoiler
Hella Supertone Horns



What do you guys think.

IMO - the wheels look crap. Bigger and lighter in colour is needed.
Other than that, it looks very similar to mine.
Do a search on Silver Scooby Sport and look at his car on H&R springs with Rota 18" wheels

Your are entitled to your own opinion.

I like it a lot. Have a look on nasioc.com and see for your self, black alloys can and does work, even on a DBM.

I know SSS aka Simon I have seen his car and have meet him this year at Alton

Wait til you are old enough and buy a turbo! I'm sure you've heard it all before.

Again IMO i don't like black alloys, and i can't think of a single car anywhere which would suit them. It's your car so you do as you please. You probably won't like my chosen route with ma car

Dazza, why get smaller 16s and paint them black. Your 17" PFF7`s would look better if you sprayed them, if thats the way you want to go.

Thanks guys for you comments.

Its was just an idea going around in my head. It might not actually happen. Things that I will be going deffo (as and when funds become available) Springs (H&R 50mm or Eibach 20-35mm), rear arb, Sti$ rear spoiler, and an Sti6 front lip left black.

The rest, 16" alloys were going to be a winter set and the horns

I like it, although I'm not a fan of 16's as they are in the states

Here is mine with the unpainted STi 6 front Splitter

Yep, I've a gold set and a silver set, they have a couple of curbing marks but nothing major, The gold ones have a very, very, very bold set of F1's and the silver has Goodyear NCT's with a couple of mm left, one of the silver ones has a mark in the middle of wheel but nothing that can't be painted out.

you could always do the wheels white

nice colour car the red one whats the colour?

i am finding that 17" wheels are a liability. the tyres dont last long ad its really easy to dent the rims....just had mine refurbed so i will look after them this time ....the black wheels look nice
