Tiny you don't do things half measure do you !

I like the look of it nice to be a little different as well
Looks like a quality job.. well done

I have to agree with above about the rear lights... now with the wideboy kit fitted the standard lights may suit better ? PS anyone out of curiousity ?

LOL @ Rear lights

Yes i forgot to add these are subject to change as with maybe a nice new set of rims

Just dont tell the Wife

As for the boot spoiler This was a total nightmare to get right , There was more paint used on just this item than painting the side of the whole car !!!

Rub down etc , Paint etc , Rub down , Paint again , But the finish is now immense

Daren ( Mr ABW ) The guy who done the whole project for me im sure will be along shortly , Im sure that he will be able to provide you with a price for this item

Si ...

LOL You know me all to well

The Scoob stood still ( Not moddeed for a year or so & To be honest mate i lost interesret with it

I Do like to be different as you know , But im not sure how much longer it will be the only one like it

It really is a quality job mate & looks 100% Better in the flesh I Like it so much as it follows all the exsisting lines of the scoob & The fuel filler cap is a work of art on it's own !!

The guy's responsible were ABW ( Autobodyworks ) Subaru Styling specialists

More details here www.a-b-w.co.uk

Tiny ..

Thanks for all the comments either good or bad it's appreciated

I seen this and thought how nice it was, the arches make all the differance to the WRC look .

clicky

Fair play you dont do things by half do you.
Might want to think about the rear lights for the full effect though

I wondered when/if you were going to do anything with the car. You've had it like that longer than most of us.

I would have changed the email address on the back to somewhere rude rather than www.subaru.fr though. Just to catch anyone wondering out!



I do have to say that it look a lot better and more purposeful than the last newage widebody attempt I saw:

Thanks

LOL No need for the sunstrip mod Coming up behind over vehicles is fun , Passengers pull down the sun visor & look into the vanity mirror , Or lean over & try to look into the nearside wing mirror , Rear seat passengers just turn around & stare

If the driver still does not move over then a quick flash of the ole Blue Led's Hidden behind the gill do the trick

Like the idea of the naughty web addy on the rear

May have to look into that

Not to keen on the silver Wide boy , Rear panels look very poorly blended in imho

Tiny

I Hear that you had good results @ the R/R @ PE Yesterday

Well done mate,, Wishing you all the very best with it

You serious?

If that was white or blue, with a big wing on the back and some decent oz rims, it would look fantastic.
