Thanks for the nice comments. 
The muds flaps were from Scoobyparts - Subaru Impreza parts and accessories . They came with white sti stickers, but after much 'umming and arring', I decided to go for the clean look.
Just got sort the tatty calipers and the small rocker cover gasket leak.

I love both, quite sadly I think I like the standard one more!!!
Looks like a very clean car, good base to start from!
You dont happen to have those wind deflectors still do you?

Can you mod the STi lights to get the foglight integrated instead of the ugly thing hung under the rear bumper ? Change the bulb holder for the 5w tail-lights to a stop & tail bulb holder, like they (used to) do on Fords.

Looks very good
IMO you should get rid of the number plate bracket thing at the back, since you have a UK spec plate.
I yanked at the one on mine until the spot-welds gave up.

Looks nice! prefer the original rear spoiler though
Yes, was going to say this.. just take the wiring from the original fog light up into the boot and cut the near side reversing light wiring and splice the fog light wiring to the reverse light bulb. You'll then need a red bulb for it, I've got some red stain glass window paint and paint the bulbs red (done it a few times)

looks fantastic mate, did the same sort of update on my old type r, totally transformed the look of the car! would move the rear fog light to the rear lamp cluster though as advised earlier in the thread by others!

Chris car looks good, although the front brakes do look a little over whelmed by the 18's
