Default Upgrade a 1994

I have a true classic Subaru 1994 L reg
Have been told I may be mad doing this as my car is mint.
But if I wanted to make it look newer what bits would fit to make it look
Like a newer one . Any ideas

Any pictures? I believe in 1997 is when the impreza was facelifted externally.

It was the bumper,bonnet,grill,headlights and then in 1999 the front bumper was updated again,easy way to tell a 99/00 bumper is a small vent either side on the bottom of the bumper.

you might be able to fit facelift bumper/grill but not sure the gaps will be perfect

mine is a facelift with a v5/6 bumper but tbh I quite like the pre facelift mainly because of mcrae's 555 impreza

+1 the only thing your going to do by face lifting it is reduce it's value.

My philosophy on car modding is simple. If it doesn't improve performance or serve a purpose, its non value added and pointless.

I have changed the brakes to four pots for safety and the OE Wheels are in for a refurb. Its on 70000 kms and all original parts.

OE is the new modded!

No rear spoiler on a WRX RA, no ABS, no DCCD, no electric windows, no central locking, no electric mirrors, not much sound proofing, no airbag, 4:444 diff, VF22, 280bhp standard ECU and cats, a manual IC Spray and only 1190kgs.



The four pots are an upgrade just for safety.

Wow did not no that . When I have seen them around they all or most have the spoiler . It's a nice looking car . So loosing weight is what that car was all about . No AC & so on .
