Love the front end Si, I reckon a GT rear wing would look really cool also.

It looks good, thats a super agressive front bumper mate, dont think I've seen it before, what make is it??

Not sure on rear spoiler, a larger STi Style one might look ok, got to be careful with which Carbon/Metal Rear Spoiler as the wrong one might make it look a bit Max Poo/Halfrauds.

Are they Rotas??


Cheers,
Grant

Just my opinion but here goes:

1) I'd remove the wing extentions
2) Needs bigger wheels. The body kit makes the car look heavy and very tall. Larger open style wheels would offset this.
3) Needs a FMIC to fill the front bumper opening (or charge cooler heat exchanger)

And last, I would be worried sick about getting door dings... looks like very tight parking. The S C O O B Y on the back is a nice touch.

Looking good Si

Needs a different wing though, something to match the mean looking front.

cheers for your coments. Makes it all worth it.(if only the other half see it that way.

the kit is chargespeed ABW. the blobeye and wide boy kits are mental.
The kit importer did mention the carbon spoiler from ripspeed as they dont supply a GT type wing....ummmmm have to think about that.

I think your right. the wing has to go.
bigger wheels would be nice,plus the fmic.

Door dings do get on my **** there. which is why im glad im moving.!!!!

NOOOOO sorry to disagree with the general consensus
But that is one molested impreza! The rear is ugly and the front is no better. Only hope that you have spent your money on aesthetics after you sorted the engine out!

From one WR blue bugeye owner to another, my personal opinion of this is:

I like the front end, I dont even mind the rear end, even though spoiler raisers are not usually my cup of tea, theres just something wrong looking down the side of it!! I cant put my finger on it myself, possibly bigger wheels needed, possibly its the side skirts im not liking, possibly it just a crap photo angle
Im sure you`ll get there in the end mate

Cool

it looks very mean and moody from the front, but not sure what it is but it just doesnt look right from the side, bigger wheels and a bigger spoiler would improve it to go with the bigger skirts

I think:

It's ugly as sin.

The body kit throws all the proportions out.

It looks like a different car that someone has tried to turn into an Impreza. MR2/Ferrari 355 stylee.

Cliff - I think the problem you are seeing is that the front splitter and rear skirts have lengthened the car. This gives the impression that the wheels are closer together (shorter wheelbase) and in the centre of the car. The side skirts then make them look a bit smaller and as if they have sunk back into the wheel arch.

IMHO

I like the front end, not so keen on the rear.

I'd :

1) lose the rear wing. Short term, take the risers out and drop it back down to a normal level.

2) Debadge the rear.

3) Bigger Wheels

4) Bigger backbox

5) Front mount

Looks pretty clean though, hope you manage to avoid carparks.

Looking good mate, looks very aggressive from the front, the only thing i would say is the spoiler needs replacing, with an Sti item, then it would proper cool.

Thanks for all your comments chaps.

It was a bit of a gamble to how it was going to look.

As from the comments. The wing and wheels need attention to finish it.
