WRX Wagon Tweak Advice
After some advice chaps... Have aquired a lovely, standard late '01 WRX wagon (new shape) which I'm very happy with. However, although I'm keen to stay away from chavdom with it, it would obviously be rude not breath on it slightly, so do you all have any advice on the best route to make it even more interesting. I've spotted Superchips upgrade, but any advice would be apprecitated...

My 2 pence worth on stealth styling -
1/ WR Rear Waist Spolier
2/ De-tango lights
3/ colour code and make it all look clean and smooth
4/ eibach or wr springs
5/ 17" rims - Rays or Ultralites IMO - Anthracite/ bronze/ gunmetal
6/ tints - not limo pimp ones, but tasteful
7/ Nnja BB, centre section and de-cat - so everyone knows your arriving but doesnt make you sound like a chav salon
8/ change the front grill
9/ Morrette Quad lights - Jury still out on that
But its each to their own

Ah, panel filter - thats good news... I've run 57i kits on various alfas and a Mazda and never been that impressed. The 57i just seems to dispense of the torque...whereas the panel does actually seem to make a nice difference...OK, so in a perfect world a decent replacement panel filter and what system or decat pipe - hayward and scott?? Are you suggesting just a replacement cat section or after downpipes downwards?
