My New Car
My bargain (03) WRX bought for £9k off ebay, 19800 miles, FSSH & five months Subaru proven warranty thrown in. I love this car! 
This car really is absolutely immaculate!!
Love to slightly modify it in the future but my insurance co. (Admiral) charged me an extra £50 just cos it's got an STi back box!
Anyone tell me approximately how much a service will cost (main dealer/independant), it's due one the end of April

Well done
As an MY03 it is due its major 3 year service which on my MY03 STI cost 350quid. Not sure if the WRX is any cheaper. That's a main dealer price by the way.
Enjoy your purchase.

Do you have a pic?
How much is your insurance altogether? mine's £713 fully com, I'm 38 with 7 yrs protected no claims.
One of the first things I'd like to fit to the car is the STi rear spoiler, anyone recommend a good supplier?

STI spoilers don't even look good on an STI. And they flap around at speed....
Low spoiler or no spoiler, it's the future

In your opinion of course 
True they do bounce a bit but i had a copy on a wrx which was rock solid.
No spoiler at all looks crap.....In my opinion
I must admit that the bonnet on my STI does get me thinking when it starts moving about....Pray to got the catch is strong enough to cope

Hmm, you maybe have a point there...
each to their own of course, but I've never been a great fan of those gold wheels either..
