Not my cuppa I'm afraid. Why on earth did you put a blob eye scoop on a Hatch?

A mile or two preferably, or maybe from around a corner,...sorry.

Not my cup of tea either matey. And that "Move over" sun strip really is the icing on the cake. You weren't lying about it being marmite haha

Carlh

The scoop isnt a blob/bugeye scoop, its part of the carbon bonnet (Seibon CWIII)

Heres some other pics, im not the best photographer so my pics i posted at the beginning of the thread, probably dont justify the looks. Hopefully these might sway some...

Carlh

and yes, grills need to be sprayed black. ive got the paint, just waiting for the nice weather

Some nice wide rotas would go down a treat dude.

It looks awesome in the first on the new photo's, I like it and hats off to you for daring be different bud. Different is good obviously I am being bias there as mines modified too.

seriously, take a step back and look at it!
all i can see is this.

Admittedly still not a fan, however, it does look better on shots not so close in... black mesh and rotas... hmmm....

Lose the bonnet, not a fan on carbon on black, and that scoop looks out of place, original bonnet would be much better imo, black mesh, big phat rotas and you're getting there

Not my cup of tea i am afraid. The front bumper

The only opinion that counts though is yours

love this hatch

Carlh

couple of more pics, the dyno run at scoobyclinic




and a pic of the engine bay. might paint the blue piping black, yellow bits to gold and re-paint the strut brace.




The reason I changed it so much was to put my own mark on there. Im very happy with it. It looks the part, sounds the part and walks the walk.

If I wanted a classic, or a bug or blob, I would have got one. I probably could have bought 3 out of the mods I have put on the hatch - but Im loving EVERY minute of it.

If you intend to sell your scoobs on, then I say, yes, dont waste money on mods as you'll never get it back but I dont intend to sell. I intend to enjoy every minute

I love being an Impreza owner.

Carl, How will you come on when you change the turbo ? I mean that plastic manifold surly cant hold much boost pressure ?

me too, its what inspired my white/black look for my hatch and I would love to have that bonnet for mine, think its carbon and painted but i refuse to fit any carbon bonnet to a car of mine.


Carl, looks better in 2nd batch of pics, will look much better once that crappy mesh has been painted (you should seriusly consider getting some decent mesh - like the zunsport / pro-r material)

IainMilford

^^^^^^ agree with that, get some decent black mesh will make a big difference

really n ot liking that massive bonnet scoop tho

riggedSTI

yea i agree with everyone here, the black grill will make things a little more subtle and not so screaming......but otherwise good luck on the build.....

here's a pic so people here can kinda of get off your case about the silver grill....what it would look like w/ the black grill....

Much like Marmite I do not like this lol

However aint my car and I don't have to be seen in it

So by painting the mesh black it would look like that,... tidy.
