This arrived from Japan today.

just couldn't resist buying it due to the kit .. deffo my cup of tea. Not seen any of these over here.

It has a couple of shoots to do with the usual mags after a few trouser-esque mods.. then sadly has to go ..sniff!

Reason for the post is.. We are thinking of reproducing this kit.. or something quite close to it . Does it get you reaching for the tissues.. or reaching for a bucket??. I love it. but your feedback would be much appreciated.

cheers

Trouser

Needs a front mount and some spots or something to fill those gaps, but personally i like it, kits are not usually my thing, but that looks hard!

is that an electra one styling kit?

the sharo edges dont do the scoobs curves any favours, but it's just as well it's in white, cause it does look rather good.

different, no?

IM not sure mate..

back end makes me want to barf,
the front bumper er.. I REALLY like..
the centre 'void' especially.

But I dont like the 'cutouts'..
I know.. why not make it ALL in carbon?
save on the daft cutouts?

add in some PIAA space on the bumper and I might be tempted seeing as I have a front mount to fit..

Front end looks good - defo one for the fmic crew. Don't like the back though. Doesn't look like it was meant for a scoob, if you know what I mean.

Front bumper - looks ok. Think it will look better if it had the later style indicators in it and therefore the gap wouldnt look so out of place.

Side skirts are sh*t

Rear bumper not sure about.I sort of like it.

Rear wing, think it will be better if it was one blade.

On the whole, wouldnt produce it

I think the orange bit where the side lights used to be ruins the car as well.

Looks nice and clean though

White REALLY suits that kit.

Front - NO - looks like a load of bits have fallen off !!
Side - NOT SURE - seems unfinished
Back - YES - like it (less the WRX sticker !)

Would be interesting to see it in different colours - anybody able to do the fancy stuff with Art Gallery or similar???
