Looks good. It's a shame you're not back in the Scooby fold, but it's nice to try other cars while you can. Drop Dean a message, he can give you some info on ownership.

Love that Lee mate, toyed with the idea of getting one myself a couple of times before getting the scoob, and before having the little boy of course!! For a jap car they have a high quality feel to the finish compared with a lot of other jap cars I have owned or looked at.

Nice car Lee 
Check the rad fans are working, they fail every 40/50k. Was the flywheel changed along with the clutch? Has it been UpRev'd? (remapped). Is it still on the original exhaust (can't tell in the pics)?
Mine is also a GT spec but has the "touring" alloys. On 68k now and not let me down at all apart from overheating in traffic on the M4 last summer (rad fan motor failure). My front bumper has plenty of stonechips on it now though so was going to pop up to OSE for a quote on a front end respray

The uprev remap (around £400'ish) will remove the factory limit on revs in 1st, 2nd and 3rd gears as well as upping the power and torque across the rev range. While not giving massive power, (around 14bhp on mine) it does improve the car across the rev range, making it feel far more alive.
Nothing replaces the buzz of a 300+bhp impreza, thrusting towards the redline though. I miss it.....quite a lot......shame the STI Hatch's have poor engines or I might have been tempted.
