Sorry mate, that belongs on Corsa's and Saxo's, u don't need to do that to the Impreza, sorry. Apart from that, these cars suffer from depreciation enough, but you just speeded up the process a whole lot more.

I too was expecting some horrible bodykit, so the actual thing is quite refreshing.

I suppose if you'd had a bady kit and that colur it would have been too much.

Fair play to ya fella.....I think it looks ok :thumbs:

I like it mate!

Its the type of thing you wont really notice until we have a nice sunny day, id imagine the pearl can only really be seen under bright lights so it would be fairly subtle.

its not really "a bit different"? i bit different would have been a **** sign on the bonnet or a fat lady with a so called "great personality"

when i first saw it, i thought, "its a red classic"... maybe im just tired

do like that colour, not too bling, like an orange metalflake.

better than the blue abomination floating around on t'other thread.

Considering the number of stupid VTA bypass valves and A pillar gauges lashed onto Imprezas (along with other tat: oversized wheels; pointless stickers & drainpipe sized exhausts), it amuses me that people are suggesting that a non standard colour will depreciate the marque.

Well it looks to me like your in need of some inspiration, theres plenty of mint classics on here you can look at, especially this time of year, get to the NBO or SBO. and you will soon realise what a dogs dinner you've made of yours

Your'e not from around Tunny Wells are you? I have seen an orange classic several times heading towards Hastings on the A21? If it is you then I thinks it looks pretty good in the flesh.

I recon if Ronald McDonald was to drive a car through one of his drive thru's he would do it in this car!!!
And can u believe some other chap on this forum has painted his wheels the same colour as his car..................red.
I was just thinking about going over to fast car or max power to shoot myself when i happened to come across a post on here from someone asking for fatman scoob about a set of copamotive alloys. So you all get yourselves over to that post and see how an impreza should look and stop mutilating perfectly good cars, or giving encouragement to those that do.

Dude pipe down yea, it's personal choice, you can't just decide just because YOU don't like it, that its a lost cause, and more to the point you can't and won't change peoples opinions. He hasn't mutilated it at all, it's just a colour change ffs, and quite a decent one at that. Ok it's a colour thats a bit marmite, but props to the guy for trying something different. Most ppl on this thread like the colour, and you don't, therefore you are the one whose the minority, so change your mind. Comparing it to FMS's scoob is pointless and irrelevant, as it's a completely different model and a 2door, and one of the best on snet anyway. Btw where's a pic of your scoob? Let us see it, so we can judge you to
