Finally, Snooker got a Digicam and here are the pics of my orange Impreza. Sorry for the bad quality of the pics, maybe someone can give me some tips for better ones.

Looks very clean but there's a lot of wheelgap in the back, is the body all the way on?

Yes, the body is all the way on. I can´t understand why there´s such a huge wheelgap. But I don´t want to push the body more down ´cause I fear that something will break.

I built the same kit and I don't have such high wheelgap in the back. I think there's something that must be obstructing the body from going down any lower. Didya check all the fittings?

That´s the problem. I´ve chosen the orange color because neraly every Impreza is blue, so I painted it orange.

Yes I did some weeks ago, but I´ll do again.

Hi,
I like the color for fun but i think that the fram is too high... and i will prefer some wheels of 18 or 19"...... the result will be better..... but it depend of your taste......
Enjoy....

You have a problem with the rear wheel gap. Check that the chassis is sitting in the correct place on the inside of the body. It may need a weeee pull to get it right....most of them are a tight fit to get right.
Apart from that it looks good. .....i kinda like the orange for a change

GTI1800: It´s impossible to buy aftermarket stuff for cars. My only chance is hlj.com, but they don´t have many rims that I like and shipping is a bit high if I just order some wheels. Do you know model shops in Mantes la Jolie, Le Mans or Andance in France?

P-Man: Thanx, that worked, but I killed the left taillight and the muffler, so I have to glue ´em back.

Hi,
i bought all wheels of 17 or 18 or 19" at HLJ and i think it's the only way to have some nice kits to transform you model.... Between AOSHIMA and FUJIMI you have a large choice.... To order some 20 kits in one time is the best way.....
Thanks and enjoy......

Nice Orange, kinda reminds of either, sport compact car, or super streets project cars!
