Default Mica Green Classic UK Turbo Impreza!

Hi all, been on the look out for a while now for an Impreza, was originally going down the Blob eye STi route but insurance being the nice people they are were wanting far too much. Gave up the search then thoughT I'd have a quick look at the older UK Turbo's, found one straight away and in less than 24 hours it's sat on my drive! Insurance is only £100 more a year than our old Astra 2.2 convertible too

Also have a daily driver which is an Olympic white Insignia SRi!

Spec to my knowledge:

18" Inovit ST VI wheels
4" exhaust with sports cat
STI rear spoiler
STI Carbon Fog light covers
STI rear lights
P1 Front splitter
6000K HID headlights
Baileys Dump Valve
3 Gauges in centre console
remapped by ScoobyClinic with EcuTek chip @ 263bhp with standard boost

Absolutely love the car, goes like a rocket Only plans really are to tidy it up and get the wheels refurbed! Maybe more power?

Will get some better pics when the crap weather clears off!

Lovely pal. Nice and clean too. These are probably the only cars that I'd have in green. Not sure about the white wheels though. How about going for like a bronze/copper colour. Be a bit different

Thanks for all the kind replies.

I've toyed with the idea of getting the wheels in bronze or gold but to be honest the whites starting to grow on me now, and yeah they're a pain to keep clean! washed it yesterday and they're filthy again haha.

While it's in for the spoiler to be resprayed I was thinking about getting the skirts/spats and front splitter colour coded too. what you guys reckon?

Also the subaru fitted alarm is acting up - would it be difficult to completely remove it and install a newer one?

Cheers guys I think I will end up leaving the splitter.

Another quick pic after a wash yesterday which I forgot to include in my last post:



Edit - WOW!! just found my car on here while searching for Mica Green Imprezas, from 2009 haha

At least now I know what it looks like with front splitter colour coded lol

Cheers guys getting it booked in next week to get the spoiler and colour coding done.

I have definitely got the need for speed now, already looking at bigger turbo's and injectors and I've not even had it a week yet!
