Default Vortex roof generator

I'm thinking of a Vortex roof generator next but I don't want the car to look 'chavvy' - 'chavvier'
What's peoples opinions?http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...=STRK:MEWAX:IT

I also want to paint the rear calipers Black but don't know wether I can make a decent job of it and change the centre caps, but to what?

Beautiful looking scoob Bob, only read about what happened to your RB5 a few weeks ago.
How does this one compare to your old blob ?
Brake calipers in black with Brembo lettering would be a nice touch, personally I wouldn't put a vortex generator on it, roof tip spoiler maybe

Very nice car bob r, dont get the vortex thing, Evo's have them and best to leave them there I reckon. Go for the roof spoiler as said mate

Spray the rear calipers black too. Centre caps look good to me.

I think I will pass on the Vortex based on general opinion. I'm not keen on the A line spoiler either.

Visually, my WRX could be it's smaller brother
I'd be interested to see how the high spoiler looks if you go for one.

I'd like to know what they are too. Did you have to fit any PCD adapters with it not being a wide track at all?

Also what is the grill on the front under the number plate?

Love it, black is easily the best colour for the blobeye impreza.
