Crikey guys when you said it wont be long till your modifying it.....you wasnt wrong !



Recently done the indicators and side ones.... might replace the side lights as well for crystal ones.
Also put the decals on, wasnt too sure at first but its grown on me alot .
Well seen as i've had two people take photos of it outside work and when parked up,and kids think the car looks "lush" when you go to tescos ! LMAO !

Done a service on it, going to start on the engine soon !

clolour code the skirts and give it a face lift front end it makes the car look soo much better imo, then hit the brakes and suspension before you touch the engine, a car that handles better and can stop later and quicker wil make it feel faster, then when that is done up the power

thats the way to do it imo

Nope I think he's referring to WRC "copies" or "oh look at me" stickers..

That's a stupid comment, they are rally cars not road cars. You either like it or not, and I don't, and there are quite a few of us in that camp.

Well hitting 29 ,i hope i aint turning into a chav !

I agree with you in some ways that the stickers "could" make it look chavy , but in other ways i feel different......
I've always said to myself that if i did get an impreza (after owning quite a few cars and bikes ) i would put the rally graphics on,and then if i did get bored or got it out of my system i'd take them off, but currently at the moment i do still like them.

Theres a fine line between "chav" and tastefully modifying cars .....
Stick a loud exhaust on and people call you a boy racer.......impreza has already got one, is that proper forshizzle !
Big tarty spoiler,bit chavy on a nova..... but the impreza has one.

There was a discussion a while back on one of the bike forums im on,alot of bikers (including myself) stick loud cans,race rear sets,carbon bits on,lighter wheels on their bikes....... Is that chavy ?



One mans chalk is another mans cheesy whotsits !

BTW I've just changed the front disks and pads, so the respraying of the side skirts will have to wait for a bit !

Thanks for all your comments !

Good point.
I'm one of those that aint too keen on the rally-slag look.
But then I'm sure most out there wouldn't be keen on my "bling" 19s... but at the end of the day it's whatever makes u happy that matters... cos like they say... the world would be a boring place if we were all the same.
