I dont mind this kit apart from the front bumper. All looks a bit too messy.
I know Veilside were going along the same lines as their MR2 kit but it just does'nt look right. Rest of the car looks great

Looks good, but I think the flaps and the wheels don't do it any favours. Black flaps and black wheels, lowered too ;0)

Its up to you as its your scoob :0)

Yes I think a carbon roof might help the colour scheme. We fitted 3M carbon wrap on a classic the other week and sure it was the 1.5 metre size from Carbon Vinyl UK - Carbon Fibre Wrap Material for Cars & Motorbikes - looked class

fair play to ya mate, a lot of work gone into that.

i'm in the "dark wheels, no flaps" corner at the mo and i think a big suspension drop would suit it !! just watch for kerbs.

keep up the work !!

dazza

edited to say: **** the scoop and spoiler off too, they dont do anything and will make the car look MUCH lower !!

Not a fan either, looks like it belongs in max power or barryboys.
But like you said, it's marmite.

Will definetly look better if you lost the flaps and chrome rims though.

Sorry dude, I think it looks f*cking horrible (I'm a purist).

Although at least the work done seems to be of a good standard (just no taste imho)

It's yours so enjoy but expect comments from both sides

Very marmite, and certainly not one for my toast, but hey it's your car

I liked the veilside combat kits from that time period (esp supra and s15). This one always looked a bit OTT on the Impreza I thought as it didnt look as well proportioned as the others.

Having said that I do like it on yours. If it wasnt a complete veilside kit it may end up looking gash but jap modding purists will know what it is Im sure. Horses for courses but I wouldnt change the kit or wheels. the flaps would be one though and I wouldnt replace them. Its a street kit not rally! Looks odd.

I think those wheels have a major say in the way it looks m8, let it down badly, ditch them for either a black or white set and you could be on to a winner.

got to say i agree
black/carbon on white looks great but the 5 spokes really let the car down
veilside front end always looks top heavy to me but wtf do i know


cheers
