Smile My first scoob...I'm in love!

Picked this up 3 days ago. I couldn't believe how clean it is for the miles it's done. It's been well looked after and drives like a dream! It really feels a step up from the FWD hot hatches I've had previously.

Hope you like the pictures

no mate absolutely bog standard! Obviously comes with the PPP pack

It's really impressed me how quick it is for a standard car. Give me some time and I'm sure it will get tickled to go that bit faster

Just out of interest what mods would you recommend to start with?

Most people start off with a decat exhaust system and a remap, should see 330-350bhp depending on which rolling road you use.

Welcome to the club, nice example.

A couple of relatively cheap mods you can do first, rear window tints, front bumper lip splitter.

Haha yeah mate it is a different beast altogether! I think there will always be a place in my heart for that FRS though. It would definately be hiding between the supercars in my fantasy garage ;-)

You know the colour wasn't on my hit list for a scoob but it's really growing on me now and the fact it appears to be rarer is a plus

That sounds about right. Haywood & Scott is high on the list for me but as for mappers I guess I'll be spoilt for choice? I have GR Performance 10 mins from my house, Scooby clinic down the road and If I fancy a mad road trip Andy Forrest oop north

Yeah the first thing I thought of was the splitter Maybe take the alloys back to gold but I'll wait a bit first as the silver may grow on me

Mine are gold and look well against the crystal grey but I think silver look good also they really stand out.

I loved my Focus RS, until the winter come, and then I couldn't wait to get back in a Impreza or Evo!! You really do appreciate the 4wd system more when we get heavy snow/icy conditions!!!

Not experienced snow/ice yet seems decent enough in the wet tho

Don't think I will ever go back to fwd.

Sweden probably set up for snow and can deal with it, the whole of the UK comes to a standstill with a couple of inches of snow on the floor!!
