Default First thing i bought for my Classic. and what next?


square JDM


or normal


Like my Impreza so much I got it its own Number plate. I'm leaning towards the square plate.
Next purchase is either Morettes or 4 pot calipers.
And I should really replace the tyres probably before new lights or brakes.

Square plate looks nice.

Get the four pots, you wont regret it as the standard brakes are ****e.

After 2 years I finally got the 2 pot rears as well as a 3 way whiteline arb and rear polybush kit. Really tightened up the backend and transformed the car.

I know it's not legal but the 3/4 size front plate really tidied up the front end.

Agreed really don't like morretes on Impreza's. Prefer standard number plate.

Love the number plate. I have morettes and think I prefer the standard look. However, everyone said the light is much better from Morettes.

Get the calipers first, then, if you do much driving in the dark, Morettes...they put about twice the light where it should be. The standard lights may LOOK OK, but seriously, what's the point if they don't perform?
