My old man got this Subaru Impreza Litchfield Type-25 over the weekend, after getting rid of the old subaru. Managed to get insured for 450quid aswell which i dont think is bad atall. a few pics below and a vid of it on 5th gear

Don't like it, firstly i dont' like scoobys, the rear top-spoiler and porcsche breaks, at least hide them for crying out loud.

not the biggest scooby fan in the world, but I like these. Not sure I like that spoiler on the top of the rear screen though

They came as standard like that? These are absolute weapons of cars! Lovely.

Why would you hide the brakes? I think the Porsche calipers look cool. Unique to the Type-25 too.
I'm not really a fan of the wee spoiler, but its just a tiny downside to an awesome car.
Your dad has good choice in cars.
Edit: Just realised its got the same seats at my dads focus.

The Gold wheels came on the Spec C version of it, and even more hardcore one 
The new Type 25 for the Hatchback shape actually looks fucking mean in black

You get the 6 speed box on the 05 (blob eye) STi's And also the older 01 (bug eye) STi's.

Yeah, I know what you meant, but why would you hide them? Its a sign of quality brakes.
Would you get some Brembos or AP Racing calipers and hide the name on them?

Just got a house. Can only really afford to run a wrx, plus having my girlfriend on the insurance is a killer

At the porkie brake haters...
The only quarm I have about those brakes is not being yellow, and ceramic....
Top spoiler will be function over form. Come on people........
Not keen on the car looks tbh, but I bet that goes and stops like a hooker on acid. Ace
