Know this car from the previous owner, bet you're well chuffed with it, it's a great car, very well kept and maintained

Get a V6 sti splitter on the front bumper and lower it a tad and it will be perfect

Sold my last Impreza just over a year ago. Do I miss them? NO! 55mpg on regular diesel, 6 gears, £120 pa tax.

Was thinking of getting another, but keep seeing stories of blobeyes blowing their engines (thought it was a classic problem only), so I very much doubt I'll be getting another.

Slow lane? I find that the diesels I've had I've driven faster than the Imprezas I've owned Try doing a long run in an Impreza at 90 MPH and you'll be seeing a fuel pump every 200 miles. Throw in a £2-£3k rebuild and super unleaded prices and I'm sticking with a VAG diesel for now. I'll live the same life but with more money to spend on more important things.

Mechanicals pretty well sorted (400+bhp ) so probably limited to some cosmetic tweaks ... I'm a JDM fan so will probably get her looking more Japanese!

v6 spoiler won't cover the intercooler sticking that far down, I put one on mine (to do the same) and they are only deeper by the thickness of a bit of plastic at the centre part.
