Having spent a reasonable amount of time hunting down an unmolested WRX STi, I promised I would not get drawn into this 'modding' game.

All these tweaks & add-ons seemed to be typical of 'boys & their toys', and anyway, I love my Scooby just the way she is................

.......well, that was until Saturday night when we attended our first cruise - wow there are some lovely cars about!! Most of them owned by ESC members!

Anyway, having spent the rest of the weekend discussing it, I have decided the bug has bitten (much to Arkwright's amusement & joy - god knows what he's planning...)

I have decided as a first step I would like to add the full Rally Graphics and wanted to know if anyone could recommend someone to both supply & fit?

I have found the set I like on ScoobyWorld - has anybody got any experience of these? Or do you know of a better / equally good kit?

I would be grateful for any comments / suggestions / advice, good or
bad....! Also if you have any piccys please post them so I can get some more ideas!

NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!

Please for the love of god all that is holy and Subaru don't do it !!!!

Yours is lovely as is.

Flaps
Name

Then enjoy your classy unchaved motor.

The only thing I would recommend is a visit from www.jollygreenmonster.co.uk if you want to enjoy a bit more Ecutek poke

100% Addictive!!

Agree with Stu, unless your going for a full Rally rep like Tiny or Darren from ABW then the rally graphics look sh1te. I'd save my money and put it towards suspension upgrades, or summin that actually makes a difference

Totally agree mate... you tracked down an unmolested, un chaved, unabused example.

Then go and put graphics on it?

Graphics kill your paint no matter what anyone tells you they do and teh car will never be the same. Worst days work i ever did was putting graphics on my paint.

Performance upgrades and subtle classy exterior mods are what get you noticed

SirFozzalot

I agree with the comments from the guys above!

Nurse Gladys

Ok, thanks for that guys - I think I know what I'm gonig to do now - or rather not going to do!!!

Thanks especially for the comment above about your own experience. Defo put me of now.

Oh, and the one word that really put me off - CHAV - I HATE that word & anything associated with it - so if nothing else had put me off then calling it CHAVY was enough.

Thanks for your honesty, I knew I'd get a genuine response on here - whether I liked it or not!!

Scooby Blue WRX

(Should have listened to the daughter - she told me it would 'ruin' the car & looked tacky!!)

Dont worry fella.

Glad you listened to advise from genuine people. You will thank us for it one day. Biggest impact will come from a nice drop on some serious wheels and a clean exterior with some sublte mods.

ie: nice splitter, smoked/clear indicators, chrome indicator bulbs, classy exhaust etc.

You would belive how few of that type of impreza are about when it all sounds so simple and insignifificant.

Some tasteful stickers look good

Phil and Brian sell 2 for £35 and they come with free SIDC membership

Nurse Gladys

Got that one (or rather two!!) Obviously on a different deal though - I got membership for £35 with two free stickers, or was it Buy One Get One Free...?

have to agree with bodski and everything else that has been said.

I had 2 different styles of graphics on my old classic, at the time loved them. But now having a nice clean car, it looks so much cleaner, i now hate graphics!!! lol Unless as previously said you are going to go for the whole rally look.

ps, didnt anyone tell you to let the bank manager know you had bought i scoob. You sound exactly the same as me, my 99 classic was as it came out the box when i bought it, but after 1 or 2 trips with the ESC that soon changed!!! lol

It's only because i have had a baby that my new one has only the body kit, which was fitted before i bought it.

I thought Scooby Blue WRX is a she?

Not often I agree with Frayzzzzzzzzzzzzzz but he's spot on.
Unless you're going to go for the full Rally look spend your hard earned cash under the bonnet you'll find it's far more satisfying

frayz

iTrader: (7)

Ah, apologies if thats the case.

Having not attended a meet for sometime, i wrongly assumed the OP was a guy.

Maybe you should come to the next Posers Cruise Frayzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Dont do it your car is stunning as it is.It looks fantastic
thinking of losing the graphics myself

Tiny

In response to the thread title then YES very contagious !!

I should know !!

There is some good advice mentioned in this thread ,

But ........................

At the end of the day the car is your & what you wish to do with it is YOUR decision , some love graphics some hate them , i personally love them , but my scoob has gone just a little further than just the WRC graphics & this helps to carry it off , again some people love my car & some cant stand it , At the end of the day do what you want , you only live once

Enjoy

ESC sticker men - You have RB5286 ( Can supply but think retired now from fitting ), Or Wozzaa who can offer both the supply & fit service

HTH

Nurse Gladys

No worries - you weren't to know - wasn't like I'd written the post in lippy or something (not my style!!)

Tiny, thanks for your input too - it's cars like yours that made me think seriously about the graphics - I realise you have gone just a step or two further than the graphics - but that's what makes a car.

I am soooooo looking forward to seeing it at the weekend in the flesh, rather than just the piccys!!

Have already told Arkwright I've found my next Scooby - so when you decide to sell, add me to the list.......!

Modding bug contagious??

when I rebuilt the engine in my old scoob, I intended a standard rebuild, but ported the turbo, bought aroger clark uprated oil pump, apexi power fc ecu, 3 layer stainless steel gaskets, ARP head studs and kind of got a little out of control!!

Now it happening again with this scoob

Pete

Agree 1000000000% with the above ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

frayz

Moddings not contageous at all... i mean, just view my scoob that was purchased standard 3 years ago.

Im deffo for the less is more approach too... i mean, i even took the engine out of my one
