November 30, 201510 yr Hey guys I'm Tom from Cambridge. Just bought a '57 plate impreza wrx hatchback in the rally blue colour. Completely standard for now. Only plans for it are to change the exhaust to make it sound like an impreza should do as it's far too quiet as standard and to sharpen up the suspension so it's not quite so boaty in the corners. Other than that I couldn't be happier with it :D.
December 1, 201510 yr looks smart. change the alloys to something like these.... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4-X-18-GENUINE-PRO-DRIVE-GT1-ALLOY-WHEELS-SUBARU-ALLOYS-5X100-WHEELS-TYRES-GM-/181791095263?hash=item2a5397f9df:g:LakAAOSwu4BVlU41 your car is 100pcd alloy fittment (not 114 like the STi) front grille swap to something like this STi one.. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Front-Mesh-Grille-2008MY-Impreza-WRX-STI-GENUINE-SUBARU-ACCESSORY-/191747467315?hash=item2ca50a2833:g:rNoAAOSwcnpTnvv~

December 2, 201510 yr Author Salsa-king I am liking the mesh grille swap idea :D Bigbear007 I bought one of my last cars from fenstanton, a nice little black mk1 mx5
December 2, 201510 yr @£52 delivered you can either have it wrapped.. or rattle can it ;) HAVE a look at this thread... starts off like yiours.. but in silver... they have the STi open grille http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2577879&highlight=2008+wrx+hatch
December 8, 201510 yr Author When searching for bits for my car what is the model code for it? Gh? Ghe? My08? Hard to find a definitive answer anywhere.
December 11, 201510 yr I'd search for Impreza Hatch if on like eBay or my08 when looking but not easy to get parts for the hatch. I know 3 people local to me that have them though and have even had to get parts from the states :( I'd have a word with Alex on here he has done a bit to his car recently :D but probably be better asking in other parts of the forum mate. Not everyone as you can guess looks here :)
December 11, 201510 yr japanparts.com is a good site to use, just bare in mind Postage, vat and import duty. .... delivery times too you can save a few pounds though and least you now its proper stuff.
February 6, 20169 yr Author Open grille fitted. Started the de-chroming this morning and very happy with it (apart from the raw arms from fitting it of course, thank you subaru designers)
February 22, 20169 yr Author More dechroming. That nasty rear light bar is next on the hitlist. Spot the difference
