Dump valves, loud or a nice sound?
Front grilles, anyone seen a nice one?

Morettes or a la UK300 Style. Personal choice but I understand that the UK300 style can not be colour coded as the have a gloss shell finish, and they will not be available until September and will be more expensive than the Morette's c.£500? If you go for the Morettes make sure you get the ones with height adjustment. Morettes are cheaper from the likes of Scoobysport rather than the dealer network. Morettes can also be fitted with a HID option for another £300 or so.
Dump valves - waste of money IMHO.
Subaru sport grille is nice - ask Mr or Mrs T-S.
Induction kit/panel filter - waste of money IMHO.
Brakes - Stick with standard until they wear out. They may well be fine if you are not going on the track. Once worn you could invest in better pads/discs if you felt it necessary, but IMHO the OEM 4 pot caliper is not that bad really.
Spend your dosh on exhaust system tweaks or a decent ICE set up.

TONY
MY00 but MY01 due in 6 days

First of all
Get Armourfend on the whole of the front end from day 1 , that will mean you still have some paint on the car for its 7500 service.
Exhaust / yes all of it makes an amazing diff..
Brakes are poor for fast road use 3 - 4 heavy loads and they are gone !!
Morrettes look sooo much better and work well to.
Front grill and lip spoier essential( well not essential but looks far better)
Order 6 pots of touch up paint for the parts of the car that do not have Armourfend.
Use 97 ron only and 99 ron is you can makes it fly.
18" Oz or Techno's makes turn in and feed back 3 x better.
replace the tacky silver interior bits with some black or Carbon kit.
ICE is required very quickly , the standard unit and speakers are ^%^*(:

They can be painted, oakley garage (my local dealer) did this with 2 of the 3 uk300's they sold. And it makes them look a lot better too.

After being in/seeing Dave T-S and Carolyn T-S's MY01's, I think you need at least:
Morrette's with colour coded surrounds (Scoobysport or soon from Subaru dealers also)
Full Scoobysport Exhaust system
18" Wheels
Lowered Suspension (to get rid of the Forester look
) (Leda seems popular)
Scoobysport Rear Wing
Subaru Front Lip Spoiler

That is where I got mine from, so don't stress yourself out. Pete knows his onions
Slippyr4
I stand corrected. Also price rumours seem to be £500 min and £1000 max.

Visual,
Excuse my ignorance, but what's amourfend? Does this protect the paint work? What's it cost? I've got a MY01 and no real paint damage yet, but sounds like I will have shortly.

Thanks for the post tonybooth I feel better now!
About the discussion on armourfend...I know it protects the paint work but it looks really horrible...personally I'd rather have the whole front resprayed than wrap my car up in horrible looking plastic! anyone thinking about it...make sure you see a car in the flesh with it on before you decide its worth it!
Wear your 'battlescars with pride!' hehehe
