To a Type R?

Infact surely no impreza deserves this!

Oh dear oh dear.
The prat has even got a neon light kit. But it's ok as it's got £5K worth of subs in it.

It's a shame really but the sad fact is that classics are becoming more affordable to buy. This means prats can now save a few months doll money and buy an Impreza. A few more months saving and they can afford to turn a lovely car into the **** you see above.
Shame but makes enthusiast owned cars (like mine) rarer and more valuable.

Totally chavtastic, what a waste of a Type R - I suppose you could rip off all the cr@p and put it back to standard.

Put the parts up for sale and some other muppet would be bound to buy them to bring their car up to the chav standard.

tbh, i think it depends on taste. I'm not a big fan of bodykits on impreza's, but I seen the chargespeed widebody kit, and I think it looks pretty sweet:

It's because of scummers getting these car and giving them the Halfords make over , that it is even more difficult finding a nice standard example.

I knew his name wasn't going to be David before I got past the pictures, and guess what, it isn't.

Some people are born with taste and the rest just aren't! What a waste! Good looking classics are becoming a rare breed! That's worth about 3k IMO! Taking the kit off and binning it would be a better idea than selling it!

What a bag of sh1te!!

Damn that's a Barry boys car if I ever saw one, just such a shame that under that fibreglass ****e there is or was a rather desirable classic. Makes me want to leave mine well alone !

I really like a type r in gray, what a shame he saw fit to spend a fortune on that body kit and respray instead of spending it on the engine brakes and suzzi.

It looks like its had a good job done on it too.

some people just have no idea.

Neons and flamer kit lol.

more money than sense.

Bloddy immigrants!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oops wrong thread!
