Looks very nice, and in my opinion would look even better with the standard front and rear Sti lights. Steve.

Looks like a mighty quick car for a GL, just please don't crash into me or the missus

I agree with others tho, sort the lights out and its pretty tidy, on a serious note, if it is insured as a GL then be prepared for a flaming.

Welcome aboard

Welcome aboard!

Well done getting an Impreza insured on Merseyside. Nice looking car but agree the rears are a little too aftermarket looking. Rest of the car looks very tidy from the pics it must be great fun to take out on a run.

I'm not having a go at the area as I know Wirral is a nicer place than many, but make sure you have some top security on that motor and don't draw too much attention to yourself in it.

I personally know of two people down that way who have had their doors booted in at 3am and had their Scoobys nicked. It can happen anywhere to anyone but do be careful.

Welcome mate.

Your next spend should be to spend £60 on having it dyno/det checked as with all those mods and no mention of a decent remap or aftermarket ecu (simtek etc) its more likely producing 260bhp tops. You can have it mapped using an ESL daughterboard which most mappers can prove, usually around £550 mapped.

Your car looks great, just make sure it goes great too, before it goes bang.

Yeh firstly fix the faults.

Slight rad leak (hoping a k-seal will sort that)
Central locking not working (i think its a wire caught in door)
Drivers door and boot painting (bloody decals took paint off!)
And get a detail on paint as abit shabby. old owner use to wash it in shell jet washes!

Then future mods.

Find out what exactly its running. internal/external and also bhp.
Mapped if it isnt. (wouldnt mind a power fc)
Lightend flywheel.
Uprated clutch if it isnt already running one.
Hids headlights.
Crystal smoked sidelights and indicators.
Sti rear lights.

And much more lol

im never finished always find something i like and buy it!
