Fancied some bigger wheels (19's???) in gold, and a 2" drop.
So this...

Before you launch an all out attack, I'm no expert with bitmap editors, I'm a vector guy, so go steady. :)
...and I actually like the original wheels (could be bigger though)

Nice - Wish I could do that type of thing, but I'm talentless when it comes to graphics! :D:D:D:D

Audio's my thang.. :cool:

Veyr nicely done though!! :)

Looks good to me.

Where did you get your flaps from :eek: and if you don't mind how much? Do they have brackets or just screwed straight in?

The flaps are just the cheapo Sparco ones, available from most places like Larkspeed, Demon Tweeks, etc. Removed originals and used them to align holes, drilled 'em and screwed 'em up, took about 2 hours, cost less than £30 for the lot. One word of advice, don't put 'em too low, they scrape EVERYWHERE.

Looks nice mate.

Another mudflap question tho - did you have genuine subaru flaps before and use those fixing for the sparco ones and are the sparco flaps specific to Impreza or did you have to cut to fit.

TIA

Edd...

Yes, it had the original rubber guards before, so the holes and clips were already there. The Sparco stuff is just a thin mudflap material, available in white, red or blue, in sheets of about 10" x 14", two in a pack. In truth the red is in fact more of an orange, but a little covering of the right colour vinyl soon had them looking much better. I've since removed the back ones, and the fronts are coming off shortly. This pic was taken just after putting them on, and so it looks okay, but now there a bit cruddy and tacky looking, but for £30 what do you get? Gonna put the originals back on as soon as I get a bit of time.

Hope this helps.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

Why spend good money on wheels that look like they're covered in brake dust all the bloody time?
