Default My first mods

I have had the scoob for little over 2 months now and thought i would share some of the simple first mods that i have done

Got the standard WRX wheel gloss blacked. Clear side marker and indicators, and scoobyworld flaps.





What you think to start.

Cheers Ozz, had a rethink on the wheel colour. With the black flaps and when the windows get tinted it will tie in better (hopefully)

If you fancy an idea as to what engine mods you can do just take a look at the thread linked in my signature.

Have a feeling that could end up with an expensive shopping list!

Nice looking bug, liking the black wheels

I know, im torn between a set of springs and some BC coilovers. But the price tag on the Coilies is some what daunting.

Default Painted callipers

I guess this thread is going to turn into a mini-project thread. Not only to update you guys of my progress but as a personal reminder of what i have done.

Tonight i have added a set of Kevlar Godspeed front and rear pads, (Big cheers to OZZ) and painted the callipers with a hammered black hamerite as apposed to the standard smooth.

I think they came out ok? what you think?

Before


After


And wheels back on
