The front end looks so aggressive with its flared arches (have to say the car is slowing growing on me...even though I still haven't seen one in the flesh )
But still not too keen on the rear, I think its the lights, Subaru really messed up with the lexarse lights on the hawkeye and now the hatchbacks.

But nice car. Have seen pics of the new sti in various colours (including my fav white) but I reckon WR Blue suits the hatchback the most and looks the best

This model of scooby Im slowly starting to like. The front end shot looks so aggressive.

But the rear end looks so chavy, those tail lights ruin the look of the car to me. Also it still looks like a focus/astra on the side shots which is not good.

Glad you like the car and its had some good reviews for its handling and speed, but as above, not my cup of tea. Prefer the Saloon's.

List price was £26900 I believe, But we bought the 3 month old demo for about the same but with £4000 worth of extras , A brand new car is old as soon as you drive it off the forecourt, So I wasn't bothered about ours being 3 month and 2000 miles old.

Hello all I thought I'd share one of me discovery's today, Be very careful when you turn off the traction control , I tried a couple of launches today, Was damp and a bit slippery.

Launch 1 with the traction control on, No problem pulled hard and straight .

launch 2 with traction control turned off , Pulled all over the place and was a right handful indeed .

Like your new rear lights Lee . Certainly look 100% better. Can't wait to see it in the metal. Modding bug still going strong I see .

Cheers Paul.

Cheers Paul. You know how it is, just making it mine. Couple more bits then wait for Prodrive to pull their finger out!

Modifying never ends . Thought you might go back to Andrew Carr like with last one. Nearly talked Jeanette into having a re-map (got Andrew Carr's number ready) .
After looking at photos of new Subaru's I'm starting to really them, black 1st and blue .

Cheers Paul.

It's just a film I believe.

I think Iain Litchfield can sort you out.

Cheers.

Looks good, the only thing i would get rid of are those silver things above the exhaust. They just look odd and stand out. Nice car tho

I kinda sorta like it the lights and wheels are much much better but it's RB320 money and I know where my money would go and what would hold its value better.
