Mark, not sure I like it....but it seems to compliment the wheels and works well, so I guess it's something that will grow on me - definately think it suits the silver Scoob more than other colours.

Tidy mota.

IMO you need to go all-out on the rest of the car too, to carry off a mod like that. Graphics, bigger wheels, the full monty

Do it, you know you want to

Thumbs up

That looks the bollox!

It's daring to be different and I like it.

Think ScoobyK is right though, it looks so good because the car is silver, wouldn't be so good on other colours I think.

Be careful with too much downforce - don't push it round corners at high speeds!

Sorry, just doesn't do it for me. Might look better if it was all colour-coded?

Can't believe seejay is on the same planet.

This Mod is different and that's why it works.

Some of us haven't got hundreds to spare on every nth refinement m8

Cant say I like that rear spoiler tbh - looks like is should be on a dragster. I like the rest though - first time Ive seen those mini side rear spoilers.

juninho, for real? or just a very nicely done photoshop?? (ie, reflection of stand etc on boot well done). If for real, then it is truely the bollocks! Just drop a few inches, attempt to make the fog light less conspicuous, and perhaps mesh up the front Lovely though - very different.

I dont like slaggin other peoples cars,but you asked for a reaction so here it is.In my view its to much,looks like something youve knocked up in the shed.I would change it coz the rest of the car is subtle verging on the aggresive then you get to the back and bang it hits you!But if you like it keep it on,you may be the type of person who likes turnin heads,you certainly will with that may even break a few necks.

Thanks for the replies guys. The majority seem in favour at the moment!!!
As for the questions:-
1: the exhaust is a revolution system
2: It seems more stable at high speeds on the straight not too hot on the corners, could be the suspension though
3. The wheels are BK238's from BK Racing.
4. The wing is only the first part of the changes, next week a 2000 spec front end is going on, followed by the usual jap style graphics down the door etc etc

The suspension needs sorting , i know. It's got eibach's on but they just dont seem to have done much.

This is a real photo cheeseboy!!!! I'll take loads more when the 2000 front end goes on and the graphics

As for being knocked up in the shed!!! that cost me nearly 400 quid from california!!!!! Its an APr Performance GT-1 Wing that was used on the Green Eclipse in The Fast and the Furious!!!

Cool

Not sure about the wing, dont think it looks to bad but definitely get some STi clear rear light clusters and get the rear fog light built into it.

Excellent juninho

As someone said before you'll have to get the graphics and maybe a new bodykit and BIGGER alloys.
The Jun Evo 5 has the same type of spoiler.

i think it looks quite good as you say it not finished yet. i think it could do with bigger and more agrsive wheels, 19`s maybe? dropped on coilovers?
try some of the us bb(i-club??) for ideas.
nice to see someone being brave and tring somthing different

Juninho,

If you want to go the full monty mate, go to www.veilside.com
or veilsideusa.com. Cant remember which one but check out the front and rear bumpers they do! Great job with the spoiler tho, very daring!
