I guess you've just solved the mystery........Sumo wrestlers DO NOT drive Scoobies

Fat-*** Americans, however, DO drive 'em.

All down to personal preference (of course) but I've never liked the decals. Have you got any ideas for the paintwork instead of the decals?

Have you still got the original STi wheels? I've ben looking for some for my Bug for months.....

No mate, it would stay a blank black canvas if i removed them, it would just be machine polished and kept clean..

My biggest worry is the car losing its identity without them

No, the wheels were sold along time ago.

Hmmmm?!!?!?!?

Decals off - "Wow nice Scoob - I wonder who owns that. Whoever it is has done a good job. I'd love to know what work has been done under the bonnet."

Decals on -"Hey!, there is Frayz' scoob. Looks even better in the flesh. That Frayz has done a blinding job on that! You should see what he's done under the bonnet - that man has some serious skills in the engine building department too. Must be one of the best builds on the planet."

That has hit the nail on the head. Its like with FMS car, you know straight away whos car it is with out even thinking twice. So Frayz, if you do remove those cool graphics, then no one will know whos car it is, well not staright away, it will be like any modded bug eye and not frayz's. But with those graphics, then anyone that follows these posts on here will now straight away whos car it is..."did you Frayz bugeye"...." yes I saw it is was amazing" compared to "Did you see that black modded bugeye parked next to FMS?"...."no I did not see it. I did not know it was Frayz's bugeye"

Kind of says it all really. Keep them on!!!!!

Tiny update,

I didnt tell anyone about this as i didnt know how good it was going to be.
Basically with the new turbo setup im gonna have to run a large 4" inlet pipe with an RCM style inlet cone/trumpet and big 6" K&N filter.

Well the RCM one is a spun alloy trumpet, of which was nice but then i had another idea. Basically i found a guy that does specialist carbon fibre fabrications for alot of high performance cosworth applications.

I told him what i wanted and he agreed to make me a 6" to 4" vacuum infused carbon trumpt. I never knew if it was going to be any good or not.

The quality of his work is absolutely staggering, i never thought it would ever be this good. Im totally made up with it. Here it is, arrived this morning, now just gotta order a filter to fit
