Don't hate me, but it's nicer in the top photo. If you fitted the oem lights. Less it more in my view.

Nice location on the first pic... The car is really nice there...

However I am not a fan of the boot colour, roof colour and bonnet colour. Halo lights at the front, lights at the back, the sticker above the exhaust. the exhaust its self... the mirrors and the bonnet pins... plus the despoiler thing was a bit last year.

Please say the first pic is the car how it stands now?

Would look better with STI or standard lights and all the mirrors/trim painted gloss black in my opinion.

yeah I know its not to everyone's taste but I added the vinyl wrap as I got quotes for over 1.5k to respray them red. is a bad colour to maintain and was faded when I got her the wrap was a cheaper option the lights came with the car and the spoiler is being resprayed and refitted soon

do the panels have laquer peel? could you not get a detailer to cut them back with polish and then give it a good wax? you would be surprised how well red can come back to a finish/

We tried to polish it up with some stuff that cost me £65 but it was quite bad as the car was stood for two years before i bought her the roof was nearly white before we polished it up boot and bonnet came up ok but not fantastic

that's it KELJON I am going for the chav look as I don't want to get mixed up with the boring run of the mill lot when I drive to a dinner party if some one says "nice car" I reply "Thanks" if they ask "is it fast" I say "its OK" and that's the conversation done & I have a good time chatting to others about day to day stuff your answer to "nice car" would be the start of a long boring chat (for the other person) were you would be doing all the jaw slapping, on what your car has got and what you will be doing to it in the future & the person who said "nice car" will be thinking OMG (that's chav for ho my god) I was only being polite I aint got a clue what your saying lol (chats chav for laugh out loud) I've also owned three subaru's all turbo models and I've never so much as had a car park ding let a lone a crash

when i go to a dinner party (which is never) and someone asks me what car i drive, i quickly change the subject because if i say the magic words Subaru Impreza i know they will have the image of your car in their head.

as much as i appreciate the offer, i dont think a vinyl wrap will increase my social standing. i am betting you havent used either the 3m or the Hexis wrap in which case give it a couple months and it will look like **** anyway
