I'm thinking of getting a silver MY03 WRX with PPP. Only thing that spoils it is the black sills and to a lesser extent the black bit of the wing mirror housing.

Anybody any idea whether these can be easily colour coded to match the rest of the car?

Cheers

Mike

 

Got the dealer to colour code the sills prior to delivery of my silver MY03 wagon. Also had optional side-protection strips fitted and colour coded too. Obviously cost more through a dealer but I wanted it all sorted and done properly from day one. Looks awesome though! Sills make it look much lower, and the side strips just look meant. Well worth doing.

 

Why not just get a black one .

 

Chiark - here you go, my wagon + colour coded side strips + sills.

 

Ah well, looks better colour coded

Never mind

 

I must be in the monority here as I think, after owning several colour coded cars, that the impreza looks daft in one colour.

The side skirts in black match the roof bars and gives it a look that the car was designed for, that Motorsport look.

Yes the skirts coded make it look lower but it also makes it look like a modified street car which it isn't.

The same as the orange indicators imo, they suit the design of the cars purpose, aggressive, sporting, no nonsence type motor not a slick, smooth, nicey nice looking car.

Then there's the lowering, again imo not necessary, wrong car category.

The STI8 in the gallery with mudflaps on looks the part.

Obviously most will disagree but i'm sure there must be others that agree.

 

The orange wedges are okay until you fit clear indicators and then the stick out big style. I prefer the no side skirts, no roof bars, full motorsport/rally look myself .

 

Back in 1998 my dealer did my old red 98 UK turbo, side skirts, rear skirts and wing mirrors for £300. Give you local dealer's bodyshop a ring.



Made a good job of it too but they wouldnt do the door handles as they say the paint may crack over time through use.

Silver wagon with colour coded sills and "plain" side protection...



I would be interested to see what the strips look like colour coded?

Each to their own I actually think mine looks v. nice. So there.
