Derricks Story

We will kick this blog off by finding out as much as possible about our customer Derrick, who owns the beautiful Impreza Type UK STI.

We asked him what made him get into modifying cars and he said ‘I got into modding my cars simply because I love them and love even more to make the car my own. I like my cars to stand out but also ultimately be in the best condition possible!’

Like many car fanatics, Derrick spends his time going to car shows. He said ‘In my spare time I like to get to car shows if any are going on I enjoy looking at other people’s inspired builds and generally the car scene is a good and friendly one.’

One of Safely Insured’s Trump Cards – Derrick’s Blue Bomber Impreza

Derrick has owned this car for a whopping 9 years, and what a mark he has made on this car! He told us ‘the reason I bought it was because it was my childhood dream car that I wanted to build to my specification!’

Surprisingly, he told us that his car can sometimes get mixed reactions ‘ most people have good reactions to the car, and some are shocked at what I have done and how good it looks however, it doesn’t seem to apparel to the purist who believes nothing but the factory will do!

This Impreza has been featured in the Japanese Performance Magazine which can be seen on Derricks’ Instagram @blue_bomber_sti

Plans for the Impreza

Derrick told us he has some plans for his car in the future ‘ his plans for the car would be to fully forge the engine and build a 600hp engine. And maybe tub the front arches and minimalize the engine bay.’

There are no other projects lined up for Derrick currently, however he did mention that he would love a C63 AMG as his daily car!
