First Subaru

[paulwist]

Hi All

 

Just bought my first Subaru Impreza last weekend. I have a couple of issues with it which I'll start new topics for, just thought I'd introduce myself first.

Hi mate welcome to S.O.C :)

 

Looks good from the Advert

Being a hatch lover myself could I suggest saving for one of these, it just sets it off a little more

I believe there are plastic versions as well but I cannot fond a link for them

Thanks for the welcome. The body is slightly worse in real life. Surprisingly, rust is already breaking out on the hatch above the chromed "plate" by the Subaru badge. I would like to tackle this on the weekend. Do I have to dismantle all the trim from the inside the tailgate to remove this plate (i.e. are there lugs that are pushed through the panel), or will it pop off with careful use of a screwdriver?
