Default What Has Someone Done To My Car?



That had you going, it's the first Impreza I owned.

It was a great car and now look at it, it's now officially the car of a chav.

I hope that's a joke statement. If not you're one of those things described above that rhymes.

When you fitted the Prodrive lowering springs for me? Probably the best mod apart from the remap by Bob Rawle that was done to the car.

No need for that Robbie, we don't burn down English homes anymore.

Remember that they are still looking for you...

Apart from its a bit too low to actually drive I think it looks ok, like the aggressive wheel offset...
Its probably on air bags or hydraulics coz i can't see how it could be driven around that low to the ground.

I quite like it but its more of an ornament than a car now. I would imagine its on bags which won't help handling but still better than much of the DUB stuff out there.

I would like my car to sit like that at times but wouldn't compromise handling for looks. I think that is where this style/culture falls down.
