I reckon theres a fine line between good natured p1ss taking and crude comments tbh, hopefully the OP has thick skin.

I'm sorry but why would you do this to a limited edition car? why not have bought a normal WRX and done this to it

As for the kit itself, not to my taste

fair point, but your intervening with the freedom of speech thing. having changed his car so dramatically, the o.p. would lead a blinkered life if they didnt expect a mixed array of comments. remembering this is a performance car forum, aimed more at the enthusiast rather than some "maxxd/modified" car forum where this is more frequent.

simply if the o.p. didnt want any negative comments, why ask for comments at all? its a car forum, take it on the chin, i do when i get critisism or my scoob...

Being honest.. I think it looks wicked. Rather different which is what I like about it. Nothing like a car being 'your own'. The only thing I am unsure about is the bonnet vents. I would say a little on the large side.

Your absolutely right tbh mate and correct, I suppose it is an open forum and he DID ask for comments, I just think its a case of, if you've got nothing good to say...say nothing at all kind of thread.

The OP is obviously very proud and happy with what he has, we all have diverse tastes, I wouldn't have a classic, but others wouldn't touch a newage with someone elses...horses for courses, but fair point mate.

my 2 pence....

Lots of different points of view here, to be expected, however, i do think its unfair to say things like "The car looks gash" or "its fooking horrible"

if its not to your taste, i think you can say that, without being nasty.

It is a subaru after all.

Save the other comments for the Saxo and Nova boys lol, oh, and the Red MR2 owner glued to the fast lane on the M25 last night!!!

Gotta question you on this, mate. Most NOVA's nowadays are proper enthusiast-cherished examples. I am 35 and I've owned some cracking NON CHAV Nova's. In fact, on the Nova site that I still frequent, I am called a chav cos I drive a Subaru!

haters? thats very "urban" of you dear sir...

you may or may not grasp this, but several members on here are purists. maybe we like us standard rims, maybe we like us black mirrors. all each to their own, but ive never had a nasty "hater" comment re. my "bog" standard looking impreza. not that your opinion would influence my decisions anyways

I think it's meant tongue-in-cheek! Can a 35 yr old married father of one, respectable member of the community be a chav at all anyway?

I don't neon/lexus light my scoob, nor hang about at Mcdonalds with 12 year old girls doing burnouts and buying Elisabeth Duke gold or wear hideous Nike Shox trainers that make me 3" taller LOL!!!!

I think you are tarring them all with the same brush (nova owners I mean)........

Have a look at these and tell me they're chav.............



















I am a self-admitting Nova lover.

TBH I SEE MORE CHAV SUBARU'S NOWADAYS THAN CHAV NOVA'S!
