Jon's easily pleased eh!

That's what I thought. I'm going to see the car shortly so will get a better idea then. It's just the information i've been told...

Thanks for the info Davy, just had a wee look on your website too

Just had a look at the skirts and there is no way it would need much of a respray.

Yeah, put on the standard skirts with a respray. Can they blend the colour in or would that look like a dogs dinner? As there is no point in getting a FULL respray costing 1.5k+

Thanks Stewart. The rear spoiler would be an easy change along with the rear bumper. I've been informed that the skirts have been smoothed on to the body I guess so that would be more difficult or ££ to change? How are skirts smoothed anyway? Would it be difficult to remove the skirts leaving little evidence of this if I took it to a bodyshop? I reckon nowadays they can work wonders eh? I'm not really a bodykit man and think the impreza looks good as is with addition of a front splitter.

Cheers for the info mate

How "interchangable" is the spoiler on a classic changing from versions? Also the rear bumper is that an easy swap too? Reason i'm asking is ive found a car I think has potential but the way it is now is a no go.

Did you give it a test drive before you bought it or did you just look at it and hand over the cash?

Really like that...Nice!

- That's brilliant MM. I've tried the old pen and paper thing with finance business but she has found me out. Now, I like to just say a fraction of the cost. Keeps both parties happy

Just make the plunge mate. My gf didn't like impreza's at all before I got one but it all changed once she had been in one and appreciated them for what they are. If she is that dead against it then maybe think twice but if it's just "i'd rather you didn't" then that can be presueded otherwise. To be fair they are quite practical with a massive boot, child seat harness, 5 doors and car overtake safely. Albeit the fuel economy is not the greatest! Let the storm settle and get one on your drive...

Heard this on Forth One the other day (Last Friday). Very nice gesture and will be well recieved.

Scared them off to go out and buy a scoob is no bad thing mate

A Type R mate. A few on the horizon so shouldn't be too long

Pistonheads gets visited every hour so I don't miss a good one mate!

4 Doors, Manual, Saloon, Petrol, 31,000 miles, Metallic Obsidian Black, 2 Owners. ....SORRY SOLD TO LESLIE FROM SCOTLAND...FULL SUBARU SERVICE Good detective work mate!

The amount of modifed imprezas on PH that doesnt mention mapping is unreal

Have a read through this forum. I had a read at the first dozen or so and it might help you. http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/archive/in...hp/t-81843.html

How does it feel on smooth roads? I think you need a hovercraft to go around the roads in Edinburgh, mate. "The Whiteline anti-lift kit is the one that started it all. Whiteline is a very reputable company from Australia that has been making suspension parts for subaru's for years. This piece changes the mounting point for the lower control arm in increase caster. This gives the car a quicker steering response and will lower lap times greatly. There are 3 versions of this kit. Normal, Race and Comfort. Comfort is for people that are people who want little to no increase in NVH(in cabin noise) with a little lose of performance when compared to the normal ALK Normal is the original ALK. It is the middle of the road kit. It gives a increase of performance with a mild increase in NVH. Race is for the all out performance. This is made for people that are not worried about NVH at all and want the best performance." Taken from Rally sport direct.com...

I have a set of these in the box somewhere, unused obviously. Cost around £43 from Pentland Components I think it is in Edinburgh. I will be selling them for £30 once I find them!

I reckon the valuation means nothing on insurance. It's only when you get an "agreed price" through specialists that it means anything. If you claim through mainstream insurance companies they will just use the current market prices and knock you down.

OK thanks mate

I've PM'd the guy about the car as i'm on the hunt for one. I forgot to question the 52 plate...It must be illegal as you can make your car look older than it is?
