    I dearnt take those off for fear of the car coming with hahah.

    In all honesty I could colour code them

    I'm in a dilemma really, being nearly 17yrs old the body's in great condition.

    But the rust has set in on the lips of the front wings and a tiny bit of the rears near those black bits, I've priced up new wings from Subaru, best part of £450 for the pair, bearing in mind a full blob conversion is only £700.

    Second option is fg wings, but there's the inherent risk they will look pants too.

    Finally in the new yr, take my wings off and have a good luck. TBH it's all Kev's fault for being a scene queen running 9" wheels hahahahahahhababahahha

    It's the weight the cars carrying now, bottoming out on the lips and rubbing paint off.

    I know a good bodyshop if you want it doing ;)

    What does a full blob conversion involve Jake ?

    Most parts are bolt on/off

    The front panel is different so that needs drilling and removing then a new on welding in place.

    It's just the cost of the bits.

    Front ends start at £700 then you'll have to do the rear, side skirts, mirrors, all adds up to the point you can add the money to the sale of your car n buy a blob.

    Depends how much you want to put into it.

    Most Impreza I've had/seen are rusty as underneath.

    The arches tend to go eventually too.

    Need to think will the car be worth more in a yr once you do what you've done
