Default Bugeye Wagon Project

As this is my first Subaru and i ended up getting a cheap 2002 Impreza Wagon i thought it would be just a few quid i would spend and be happy but that just seems its not going to be the case.

I managed to spend £1000 in a week and decided to document the progress of changes if this is what happens when you get the BUG (pardon the pun)

Spec so far and this stuff all came with the car, once i receive the new parts i will update the thread

HKS Full system
Bailey DV (removed)
17" Speedline Prodrive P7 Wheels
Brembo Grooved Disc F+R
Prodrive Bumper, Wings, Grill, Scoop, Skirts
Sti Steering Wheel
Sti Gear Surround
Sti Clocks

Loving the headlights. Could do with a set myself. Are they a direct fit or is the wiring different?
