Cool

After deciding my badly stone chipped and blistered bonnet and front bumper needed respraying, I decided to make a few modifications to my Cat while I was at it.
These include a front lip by MRO Scooby Styling and WRC replica wing from Scoobyparts. I also took the opportunity to colour code the sills etc. and fit clear indicators.








But all rather worth it I think.

Nice!

Just wondering, how much did the colour coding cost you, if you dont mind me asking?

Hi Andi,

Cheers. It was done by a mate of mine with a bodyshop. I ended up having most of the car done, in fact the only bits not done were the bootlid, roof, door handles and the bonnet scoop and vents. So I didn't get a price for the sills alone, but he did say it was about 80-90 quids worth for both sides and the bits around the bottom edge of the rear bumper.

Question

Whats the quality like of the Scoobyparts spoiler, did it need much prepping before painting .. is it the one they sell for £200?

Hey cube,

Nice spoiler, I have a Cat too and was going to change the spoiler to something similar. Basically wanted to know the same as 'Avi' above.

Cheers,
Crawford.

Avi and Crawf8,

The wing is pretty decent for the price. It fits with out any modification, requires only light rubbing down before priming and spraying. The Brake light cable needs a little rerouting thru the bootlid before plugging in on the left as it exits the wing on the right. From the shape I don't expect it to have a major aerodynamic effect in terms of downforce. I was a little dubious at first as there was no proper image on the site. But I've gotta say I'm pretty pleased with it.
Here's a couple more images

Toe, that's just it, too many damn 4wd turbo cars on my road!! Especially those GTiR's

I dunno, I hear talk of a FMIC being bandied about.

You should have talked me into the IP7 m8, then I could have Bluetooth'd my images straight on to here

Cool

The IP7 would have gone nicely with your new T68, the PC120 would have been even beta tho. We've just dropped the price too, £1399.99.

FMIC, link ecu, Sti 5 wing, brembo brakes.... the list goes on. Steve's GTi-R doesn't stand a chance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
