Went to look at number 131 yesterday and ended up buying it. I have owned Imprezas now for the past 6 years and none of them come close to the WR1.

The car is completely standard apart from some of the chrome on the front has been powdercoated black.

I don't have any mod's planned, I did think about putting in a new stereo but I haven't even put the stereo on since yesterday as I love the sound it makes!

Been out this morning to take a few pictures:

have to agree mate....the combo of a backdrop with pure white virgin snow and a nice clean WR1 is hard to beat. Turns more heads in the snow that during a clear summer day..

Cheers! Although it was immaculate when I picked it up it is far from it now.....bloody grit!

Definately need some mud flaps fitted ASAP.

Gotta agree with Caveman !

There's nothing better to set the picture off than having a snow white virgin behind the car. :roll:

Bought this one in Black Satin just before Crimbo http://www.scoobyworld.co.uk/catalog/pr ... ts_id=1378

Thought it might look ok with the black wheels & front splitter, will get it fitted when back home, if i can find the car under all the snow :shock:

Yeah i've seen that one before mate, I'm not keen on how it makes the black section just above it more visible though, the standard WR1 grill covers it...

huzzy - cheers for that mate 8)

Tend to agree with you there Clark, i have seen them fitted to others and they look ok, just not sure how good it will look against the 23g tho but i may have a cunning plan for the solid section.
And then again they might be in a for sale section in Feb if they look that crap
