I have thought about going ver5/6 but my car isnt a ver5/6 plus like the fact that my spoiler doesnt atract lots of attention.

Actually I do have a spare boot lid so I might have to try it for the sake of spraying the lid yellow

I think spoilerless suits the 4 doors much better than the 2 doors.

without all day long. V5 and V6 look stupid imho. Far to big for the car. V3/4 or low level is the best size for the car if you have to have one imo. Won't be long before my v4 goes up for sale.

Definatly with spoiler fella. Sorry my personal view is an Impreza isn't a true Impreza without the whaletail spoiler. You say Impreza to me and I immediatly thing big bonnet bulge and huge rear spoiler - sorry can't help it.

Note - That's my personal view - no need for flames or anything. As said each to their own !!

I like the spoilerless look but how does it affect the car at highish speeds?

You just have to adjust your driving a little to compensate. It's more noticable in crosswinds I found.

I love spoilerless but I can't bring myself to do it. v5 & v6 (among many other aftermarket ones look dafty.

I've already brought a genuine v3/4 otherwise I would have had yours Matt.

I found mine ok up to around 130mph(on a private road) then the back end got a bit light but i think that has to do with the front splitter.
Also heavy braking with no rear spoiler and a front splitter is interesting

With a top speed of about 115mph it makes no different to me really. I've uprated every part of the suspension so handlings not an issue.
