Default Nice Tommy Kaira Wagon

I like the look of this lots, and if I had the money i'd have it! I don't often like the Tommy Kaira specials as the front bumpers can look awful, but this one is quite subtle and suits the lines of the wagon well. The Legacy wheels really suit it too.

looks to have been well cared for, just a shame about the Bailey DV...

Tomy Kaira were a well known tuning company in Japan, they took stock STi's from the factory and did a variety of engine / bodywork mods and sold them as being their "Brand". Like the M20b

Have seen this advertised a couple months back.

I love wagons, but the bumpers dont do it any justice. It looks a little out of proportion. Nice ride still tho!!

Worst still was the TK rear wing on a saloon... Now they do look ****.

Never been my cup of tea to be honest, rare beast though.

does it really matter whether you think its **** or not?whether you think its chavy? I'm no chav, and would own one again. isnt it the owners preference? i always say every impreza is different in its own way and most reflect the owners personality.... I'm definatly no chav. these are rare as hell, unlike the STANDARD looking saloon or wagon, in a legue of their own... remember the 6 PAGE FEATURE incl. Front cover of TOTAL IMPREZA mag Oct 2010? that one was mine... and i loved it.....Mark & Clare S.S.C Simply Subaru Club... The "FRIENDLY" Subaru club.

I have to agree with you to a degree, but I did state IMHO ,it's nothing about chavy , whatever that is as I am 46 and IMHO certain cars look good straight out of the box, like my rs cosworth from many moons ago. But like most things, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.if you like it fair play.

everyone is entitled to their opinion mate. My post was aimed at someone above you, Someone previous said they looked chavy, thats not right at all. No Subaru is chavy if its done right,and this Tommy kaira is a nice clean tidy car, with or without the front bumper.
We try to portray Subaru owners to the general public as a good community... not chavy and not boy racer style cars. Its hard enough getting the public to GIVE US A BREAK... let alone other Subaru owners lol.
