I agree mate I think it's scary how many I'm seeing being broken. I got speaking to a lad the other day who said he's been buying them just to break does it all from his garden, said he's been doing about 3 a month :(
I've always said to me the only black car I will ever own will be the RB320 :D
Even though I do like black cars but knowing what I'm like for having a clean car I'd be forever cleaning it :D
Opps sorry my apologies I thought this was the bugeye being sold :D
Joy's of joining the party late I guess ;) And yes they should fit fine I've changed them from 2005 and fitted a 2001
I would go with the 1st option myself ;) MOT guy
It look's far enough away from anything and behind it you can see it look's rust free. I'm not sure with the inner wing's but as long as you did the above and then replaced it with a fiberglass wing would do the same job. But I would see it as a waste of money if you can do it yourself :)
I'd say from looking at that as long as all the rust can be taken out and you can get a bit of plate welded on there almost like a body panel maybe some filler for extra sound proofing it is doable. Is a strange place to see rust on an Impreza. But think that is repairable and make sure bit of underseal is put around there after repair I think should see it for the rest of the car's life.
Well either way has a result :)
Do have a lot of members that don't post from what I have seen but I see them online, not sure why this is must be my profile picture :D
I know what I'm adding isn't a fix but with Tlag and Adam what ever they say/recommend I would agree with I would even take advice on my own car from either one :)
Seem's a lot to me that who did you take it to a main dealer
Be cheaper getting another engine and swapping it or having it swapped would be a lot cheaper then that. :(
