Default New bug eye owner

Well 2013 couldnt have got off to a better start for me. Ive just invested in a 2nd subaru impreza bugeye. 1st off and utmost was to get the insurance sorted out which was a bit of a worry. So quick call to gary @keith micheals has fixed that concern. So now im fully insured on both my subarus so plenty to pick from

So heres the bug eye





So whats your opinions friends, im not too keen on the spoilerless boot.

Full service history supplied by power engineering in uxbridge. Been fully serviced up until 76000 miles, current mileage is 78,500 miles.

Good and bad feedback always welcome

Looks very nice. Whats the spec? Is it black? I actually like the de-spoilered look, shame its not the same colour as mine, could have swapped!

Now you just have the fun of filling both up with fuel!!

Looks nice but not keen on bonnet vent or spoilerless look.

Can make them look quite nice with a few cheap mods.

Emmaroids has the same colour bug wrx and i helped her add a few mods over the last year or so and it looks great now.

Have a look at the before and after thread she put some pics on there

Ive gotta look threw the paperwork to see whats what. Im gonna chuck a proper carbon fibre spoiler on the car as well as get the windows tinted. Theres a lot of sentimental values with this car so i shall explain in due course

Yea the bugs are nice cars to drive and they look pretty good too. For a while i was thinking on should i sell one, but i couldnt sell this one as well as the fact the classic to me is a real impreza

Ill have a look for the threads mate

Gotta love a de-spoilered bug !!



I 'should' be changing my Morettes to STi headlamps in the next couple of days

What colour is your car exactly, I couldn't see it mentioned?

Nice choice.

Just to add, I agree with Stu also, mine above has got the STi scoop ..... Any bigger and I don't think they look right.
