i've called up Subaru to get a my07 - 09 front bumper but unfortunately they dont fit.

would be very helpful if anyone could give me some recommendation and pics of some new front body's.

It's not as easy as just buying a new front bar to make your car like that. They're two different models (yours vs the one you linked).

What you'll need for the change as far as I know is;

Headlights
Quarter panels
Front bumper
Grille

I'm sure you could source all of those things second hand from a wrecker, but it won't be a cheap project.

+1 Won't be cheap.
Most 2nd hand parts have scratches, dings, damage, etc They will need to be repaired, painted, and fitted.

+1 again, definately not a cheap option. the bonnet is about the only thing interchangeable from the front of the 2 cars.
For example, headlights from subaru are about $750 each.

If you are after something different, maybe try a stock pre facelift bumper and an STI lip, like this http://redbook.com.au/used-cars/details.aspx?R=98469&__Qpb=true&Cr=9&__Ns=p_Make_String%7c0%7c%7cp_ClassificationType_String%7c0%7c%7cp_Family_String%7c0%7c%7cp_Year_String%7c1%7c%7cp_SequenceNum_Int32%7c0&__N=2994%204294944089%204294842807%204294943765&silo=1300&seot=1&__Nne=15&trecs=12&__sid=12ED961395C7

Or have a look at Tangcla's car for the JDM front bumper, which you can also fit a lip to. Plenty of pics around here of his car.
