Default FINALLY got myself a Bugeye! :D

Hey peeps, as some of you prob already knew, I sold my classic a while back and had a Clio for a bit, needless to say now finally bought myself a bugeye

Heres a few pics I have that were the original owners, I haven't taken any myself yet. First things I'm prob going to do is change the mudflaps (It now has Red ones) add Fog lamp covers, Sti bonnet scoop, usual Sti stickers here and there and most probably on of Bob'5 HID Kits

Also soon will have the Gold 18inch Pff7 alloys on the car, which have taken up the space on my missus's landing for a fair few months, which she'll be glad to see the last of, so will probably put the black wheels up for sale if anyone wants them

Neways heres the pics, not a bad bit of kit really, still getting used to the higher rear spoiler (My classicwrx had the low one) and keep thinking out the corner of my eye theres a big transit van sat up my **** at junctions

Good call about the Prodrive rims, them black ones look lost in the arches but a very nice bug eye you have there! with the new rims it will look perfect i think!

Yes gonna try and persuade the missus to let me rip on her oven next week...I believe the thread's still going around about baking it @ 100degrees for ten mins to loosen the glue and take the orange bits out?? or am i thinking something completely different, lol

I beleive that's how it's done mate, there's plenty of info on here somewhere though...I wasn't up to it though to be honest and bought some black WRX lights off eBay which didn't have the orange bits in anyway!

Nice bug mate, I'm de-badging my WRX today.

I've just fitted STi headlamps to mine and swapped out the indicators and fender reflectors for clear ones......

They do look nice in white!

I agree though, I wouldn't STicker it or put a larger scoop on either. Be proud to have a WRX, don't pretend it's an STi.

haha cheers mate,although ive now changed the white flaps to black ones. the white ones looked good for about a week then they started to go yellowish due to the dirt and stuff. black look cool though,

i got the badge from scooby bits. its just a sticker that goes over the origonal. you cant tell though.
