Default MY00 styling advice please...

After considering changing my Scoob and not getting any worthwhile interest from the classifieds I've decided to hang onto it for a bit longer now. If it aint broke don't fix it etc...

I've taken pride in aiming to keep my car as near to standard as possible but am now thinking of perhaps a couple of subtle external mods to freshen things up for me.

I've put crystal indicators and side lights on a while back. It's all fully colour coded from the factory too.

Two things I'm considering are getting the colour coded front fog light covers like the STi ones. I'd have them plain though wouldn't want any decals on them and perhaps a front splitter but not sure on this. Either a P1 or STi style.

Here's a pic below as the car is now. Don't need to touch the interior as it has two tone leather factory fitted from new and a nice neat little momo gearknob.

I want to keep the car looking as neat, clean and classy as possible. Oh and morettes are a no no, don't like them! Thanks in advance...

thats a very nice looking classic, subtle yet different from standard. I'd think about a splitter and possibly some front fog light covers, but nothing over the top.

Thats a tidy car you have there, I'd try and keep it as subtle/standard as possible, standard Imprezas are getting rarer i'm sure keeping it subtle will help you get more money back for in in the longer term!

I've got to agree with TAINTON consider an Sti6 front lip especially on a silver car it will look fantastic.... it levels off the front bumper with the side skirts just right..

all i would do is fit the STI fog light covers and a genuine set of STI rear lights, wouldn't bother with changing the rear spoiler or fitting a front lip but thats just my opinion.

Yeah add a sti6 lip , leave the Rear spoiler, Go with the sti rear lamps and have it de-badged, Leave the front grill and have a light tint to your windows

Thanks for all the replies guys some good opinions and pics there, cheers!

I don't want to change the rear spoiler, will leave that as it is. I've always wanted the STi rear lights as I think they'd look great on the silver car. Thing is I don't really want to be spending close on 200 quid for rear lights to be honest!

The STi fog light covers are a definite I think. Will try to get a pair of them on first. Would keep them just plain colour coded to blend in with the car, no decals on them.

Out of the front splitter options I think I'd lean more towards the STi6 one now. I like the P1 splitter but just feel the STi6 one is a touch more subtle and would be more in keeping with my car and how I want it to be.

Glad to hear you're keeping the scoob Dan, regarding your mods, I think an Sti6 front splitter and Sti lamp covers will be spot on.

Welcome aboard mate! Congrats on RB5 ownership too! I've heard nothing but good things from the others about it, look forward to seeing it soon myself! Email me some snaps if you've got some.

Just got to find the best place to get the fog covers and splitter now. Will take a look on flea bay tomorrow...
