Sorry, it's not for me - the blob scoops don't suit the bug and I'm not a fan of graphics. But it's your car, enjoy it

looks in good condition though,
im going to be postitive about it, the graphics and sti badge will come of easily so take these off and it will improve it 100%
if it was my bug after i had done the above i would change the dial cluster to sti ones with the central rev counter, refit the original scoop and ebay the zunsport grills and buy the black versions. i really like the lights headlights though an as you already have an sti rear spoiler maybe get some sti side skirts,seats and door cards from the breakers.
then possibly fit some larger darker coloured or silver wheels.
but thats only my opinion!!!!

Again mate i wanted to be original, so i bought a sheet of chrome mesh from Halfords fitted it in to my bonnet scoop and with the remainder fitted some to my roof scoop. Attention to detail so its all matches lol

welcome to scoobynet!
personally i would have left it and just lowered it, and a nice set of alloys would set it off. leave the rally graphics for the WRC cars with mad wide arch and scoops that are there for a reason

Each to their own mate, I personally don't like different coloured car parts. Looks like their replacement parts waiting to be re-sprayed, but we all have different opinions and tastes. Wanna be in the Marmite club ?

Most importantly mate, you need a remap. You've put on an induction kit and dump valve which needs a remap.

defo marmite mate but I do like the you pillar gauges
