Default Can't Belive I own an Impreza now after Evo Ownership lol :D

Hey guys, I have bought my first Impreza WRX yesterday,
after owning My Evo3 for 2 years i faniced a changed,, but i was after an upgrade in Evos, somthing like Evo5 or a 6...... But after seeing this Nice Scooby, i really Felt for it :P, so i thought to give it a try and be an impreza owner and see how it feels :O

well guys have to say that it feeels great, i wish i'd bought an impreza 4 years ago when i bought my evo, the car is totaly fantastic and mint.. has been just imported to the country and it drives like new. loving it . and yee, i feel much safer in the impreza than my Evo for some reason lol !!:P


just one little thing.... could you guys give me some advice if i was want to Facelift the car ? do i have to just change the grill?? i dont really mind the lights

would the a newer version fit into my car, or it will need modifying?

i am sure alot of you here have done this ...






and this is pics of my Evo, was a fantastic car again, loved it

Well to face lift the car fully, you will need a new bonnet, new headlights which are sharper at the edge (view my scooby to understand what i mean) and yes a new grill is required with the new lights. There is also a facelift bumper which i think looks a lot better but it depends how far you want to go.


personally if it was me, i would just change the lights, grill and bonnet as the older bumper looks good


nice evo btw, and nicer scoob

I'm in a similar boat. I've just sold my EVO 4 which was the worst mistake of my life buying. Still in a court battle over the car with the dealers.



Bought a Subaru WRX PPP two days ago and it seems/sounds 5 times better than my old 4 for similar money.
