thought that the c-west bumper would look really good with spoiler-less rear, bit different!!

what you getting now then???

iTrader: (4)

Put the C west bumper back on. There are too many scoobys on the road that look the same and yours stood out from the crowd with that on!!!

Hope the garage that you bought it from is paying to replace the drive shaft.
You aint had it long if I recall

yeah the garage, i bought it from has payed for the drive shaft he wasnt to know it was faulty as it only sarted making noises after driving for a while so should be fixed this weekend going to pic a drive shaft up from api on sat.

as for the bumper i left it on to see if it would grow on me but i couldnt get used to it just looked out of proportion to the car its a very aggressive lookin bumper compared to the smooth lines of the car just didnt look rite to me so iv opted for a faclift bumper with gloss black p1 splitter.

also im stugglein to clean the front wheels want to get them back to showroom finish but breakdust has real gone to work on them and is well baked on, iv used all sorts to try clean them anyone know of some real aggressive wheel clearning products

thanks for your comments anyway

You getting rid of the wiper completely?

adam knight

iTrader: (3)

prob leave it as it is should imagine it would be a rite ball ache to remove compleatly to put a rubber gromit in its place, i think it looks quite funky, its got a stainless cap on it which look like bullet casing

Have you tried Autoglym metal polish. NOT the alloy cleaner. Brings my wheels up a treat! Requires a bit of elbow grease though.

If you want to get rid of the rear wiper then i'll buy it off ya. Mine has never worked since I got the car.

We have rear wiper kits/bits off the shelf, gimme a call on Monday if you like. I doubt Adam will want to sell his. If he does, then I won't get in the way as this is his thread. Imprezas are a real pain without rear washwipe.....

Not a big fan of the lights IMO but the rest is spot on buddy

+1 I agree. The rest is spot on and very JDM-ness look about it, but those angel lights let the rest of the car down.
