Being the V3 it has the newer bonnet and lights but old bumper. I quite like this combination, I was tempted to fit a facelift bumper to my old car but just added a splitter instead and really liked the look.




Its not a big job swapping bumpers so try it and see how you like it.
Stick a pic up of your car.

update to p1 front end in my opinion looks much better and more aggressive, and being a v3 its half way there anyway. if it had been a v1/2 front end then i would of left it standard but since you have the bonnet and lights you only need the grill bumper splitter and foglight covers.

everyone goes face lift. Keep it retro if I were you, get some yellow tint for the headlights too.

I think P1 splitters are too much and currently having mine changed over, dare I say they look a bit..... chavy?....

the v3 front end isnt retro its semi facelift i dont think the p1 looks chavy and in most peoples opinion the p1 is the best looking impreza but its down to personal taste and only you can decide the look of your car its not up to others, you have to live with it.

I agree, the P1 (after the 22b) is super looking. However my personal opinion, is that the P1 splitter is getting a tad common.

I still think it looks great don't get me wrong, but for people not in the know, is just another bit sticking out!

Says me with the carbon fibre wing the size of Everest and 18 inch rotas, but still, subtleness I feel is the way forward. For me!

goujon has a point though, do what you think looks good, everyone will never agree. That would be boring wouldn't it.

Oh and if you want a facelift bumper and p1 splitter, inbox me!
