Cheers for the comments
I just sold my Focus to get this. I just got 18s/High lift cams for it aswell. But the Boxer engine has been drawing me in since i was 15 lol now 22 i managed to get a half decent Impreza
So over the moon with it
Had a **** weekend. Went to Birmingham on Saturday to get an Impreza 900mile round trip from Inverness £150 in fuel on my Focus....... Then the guy had lied to me an the clutch was slipping an it was rotten on the rear arches.....
Made my way home an got to Inverness at 9pm then a lad from Boston called to say could he come see my Focus. I said fire on an he left at 11pm an was at mine at 9am lol then it was job done. Connor is on the Focus ladder

Ordered a abs JUN front splitter an some paint for it so will get it fitted for the Highland Run on Sunday :-)
Gave her a good wash aswell.
Before - I was testing the 4wd up at the farm :-)
Then i gave it a good clean today before it started raining
Bear in mind i am getting the standard grill as the previous owner wanted to "debadge" it lol

just wonder if your needing a bumper support bar mate. notice how theres kind of a droop between bumper and grill. very very common but i kind of notice it after replacing my own.
dont mind the afterburners, wouldnt class them as chav unlike lexus style.

That looks cracking now, keep up the good work. 
I had to rewire my two front speakers. One had a loose wire, and the other one had about a foot of wire missing when I took the door card off. lol! Went out the other night and one stopped working again...can't have done a very good job - will need to investigate tomorrow!

I grew up on a farm as well. My grandad sold it and retired when I was born, but gave a cottage each to my Mum and Aunt, so I've lived here all my life. The farm has now been turned into new houses, and the land rented out...but still plenty of fields to use for toys like bikes etc. I've thought about buying a quick buggy before. Love the rage buggies, they look a handfull!

Looks really nice that mate. You've smartened it up plenty already! As said get some standard/STI rear lights and it'll look lovely. You still getting a standard grille too?
What have you used to sound deaden the boot? I'm after doing it.

Im trying to source a smashed scoob so i can get all the running gear. Me an my gf dad are going to do this in January hopefully. Would be easier to buy a turbo but wheres the fun in that an i love the colour of this an the paint is really fresh.
Just about to buy some rear lights from a lad on here just waiting his mail address. Im not liking the afterburners at all.
Awaiting a new grill as that one is hideous
New sparkplugs an a general tidy up
Going to paint the wheels on Saturday Anthracite i think
Been having alot of fun in it actually here are some pics an a poo video of me in the snow
Before anyone says its stupid i was off the road an it was about 2am in teh middle of knowhwere
YouTube - Impreza doughnut,drift,slide
