Default My New Bug-Eye

Ok, so its been a very long time since I last owned a Scooby...11 years ago to be accurate....

so I have taken the plunge and got myself a Mica Blue Bug-Eye...

It came with all the Rally Decals:


which soon came off - with just a few left as it got dark:










a few things still to do but they will come in time

Best colour! I had a bit of a heart attack actually, seeing a DBM Bug with the carbon risers, I thought someone had stolen mine and sold it on as I have been away for 3 months!

Nice!

I get mixed reactions with mine, but they cost so little that the gamble was worth taking. I think they look good, at the moment!!

Cheers guys... The risers and spoiler are getting changed for and STi 6 spoiler at somepoint. The scoop took a bit of convincing tbh.. Wasn't too sure on it the I woke up and changed my mind completely one morning and I love it now.. Next to change will probably be the alloys.. Just not sure On colour yet.. White or silver or anthracite hmmmmmmm

I got mine secondhand, but they seem to be a bit pricey as new. I think the OP is planning to remove his, give him a shout.

Just bought a bug eye and also in Mica Blue - will post some pictures and compare.
Loving the STi 6 spoiler as very similar to the Prodrive spoiler on the classics with the higher brake light

Default Pic Update

Hi guys,

Its been a while since I last did an update on here..

The original Spoiler has gone back on her, I have changed the Morettes for OEM headlight, covered the light inserts in Carbon Vinyl and sprayed the round vent surrounds in Matt Black along with the dash Centre console.. Here are the pics:











what do you all think?

We are expecting the arrival of our first child at the end of May so The scoob unfortunately will be going.. Just for apprasal purposes what do you guys reckon I could ask for her realistically?

shes an MY02 and has 84000 on the clock

many thanks
