Question

Got a std looking Red MY98 Impreza UK Turbo just want to do a few subtle mods to make the car look a bit tidier....

So far...

Clear Front Indicators
White Side Repeaters

Intended

Half White/Half Red Rear Lenses (From an STI?)
STI6 Lower Lip (or is there a nicer looking one?)
Colour Code Wing Mirrors (Essential)
Colour Code Sills (Essential)
Colour Code Rear Black Plastic Bits (Essential)

I want to keep the rear spoiler std and not fit a big f**k off one
I'm also debating whether to colour code the door handles or not

Any suggestions / ideas / futher mods are more than welcome!...

Kind Regards,
Me!

MY99-00 clear headlights.
Silver or anthracite 17" alloys, not sure about gold on red.
PIAA or Cibie driving lights, or possibly STi blanking plates.

Yeah Gold on Red, I've only got 16"s but 03STis are on the 'todo' list! - But you're right they do look better with the low spoiler - which has an added benefit that you can actually see out of the rear windscren

I've already got a set of Subaru 4-pots fitted (re-painted black with white Subaru lettering)...

Got a lovely 4/5" Magnex Round Back-Box

I'm very happy with the 16" Subaru Alloys (not a scratch on them)


The MY99 Clear Headlights sound interesting.... How much do those retail for?...

New, I think you're looking at around £300 the pair, I think £150-175 is realistic second-hand.

OUCH! That's too much just to change the headlights - I'll pass on that and spend that money on something else I think!

STI6 spoiler wont fit. You'll need the STI4 front spoiler.

You could do no worse than view rthe Red Scooby Corner

Personally, I quite like Pele's, but then she is a friend

Howdy Folks - I've just changed the front lights on my red 98 to clears too - are the sidelights the same on the later model as the 98 ones ? - I'm pretty sure they are....

Need to get the skirts and bumper colour coded (and mirrors) and some decent alloys (going to look tomorrow)

Maybe 22B vents.....
