md performance Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Well you can do the detailing so like stick stickers on it or custom re spray it's how u want your car to stand out really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Becky22 Posted July 23, 2013 Author Share Posted July 23, 2013 I was thinking about black alloys and black spoiler but then other people have said no keep it original , but it's not really doing much for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
md performance Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 It's your car so you have to have it the way you like lol black alloys and spolier would stand out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
md performance Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I think gun metal grey on your wheels as its a blue car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I would go for subtle changes then have a look at grills maybe some change to the fog surrounds could always go for painted alloys rear spoiler if it's not got one I can't remember off the top of my head :) But just remember once you start it never stops :D Lol looks like we are all on the same page with ideas then :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Becky22 Posted July 23, 2013 Author Share Posted July 23, 2013 Very true , haven't seen many hatch models to get inspiration from , would like to get car already for japfest next year , so have a lot to get done lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
md performance Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 The only hatch one I've got a pic of is a racing one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exup1000 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 My legacy is met blue with met grey wheels and people seem to comment on them as they look a little different. I'm going to put a carbon fibre grille in and under the bonnet with black/ grey samco hoses so it's not in your face but looks good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
md performance Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 That's what we use Matt black Samco hoses subtle changes but looks good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exup1000 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Yeah totally,my cars old so After a full service I'm going to clean up the engine bay new hoses maybe a tiny bit of colour but nothing goldie looking chain ! I've got green exhaust wrap which looks pretty cool, had to loose the tin ware as it was rusty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Pete Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 The only styling bits I've seen have around the UK have been grills, front lips and different exhausts. There are also a cple of options for the rear lights like swapping the rear red fog for a clear one so the rear matches. Apart from wheels, lowering the ride height, front lips and lights there's not much stuff for the hatch in the UK, you'd have to look at the US, Oz or Japan to get aftermarket styling bits. http://www.just-subaru.com/ http://www.japanparts.com/ http://www.avojdm.com/ http://prorracing.co.uk/ http://www.scoobyparts.com/ http://www.scoobyworld.co.uk/catalog/index.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miggs Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 my little brother lives in Oz so if anybody wants parts sending over, depending on size, i might be able to get them shipped over as gifts from him to avoid the import duties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay762 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Wotcha and welcome - IMO standard original for the most part is manufacturers compromising so I tend to put my own mark on each model I own - the research I have done has LED me more to the Japanese kits as they appear a little more subtle than the US ones... problem is I have a huge shopping list and am just awaiting the funds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobs Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Welcome Becky, I do like the Blue Mica but agree with the fact the standard WRX doesn't stand out enough. I think little things like the wheels and grill will change it for the better. One of the reasons I chose the WRX S over the standard WRX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Spoiler - Top end of market but carbon fibre and integral LED brake light - its a simple remove / installation, few nuts and retaining clips http://j-w-racing.co.uk/product.php/5268/1416/seibon_oem_style_carbon_fibre_rear_spoiler_for_2008_2009_subaru_impreza_wrx_sti something a little less subtle http://imexdesigns.co.uk/impreza-c-1_31_156.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
