Very nice and your new UK 300 isnt too bad either
Those discs wont be Prodrive though, they never did drilled discs, probably some aftermarket ones, and to be honest, you will get fed up with the dv, fit the recirc, you may find its nicer

Must admit I'm with you on the dump valve, thinking of boost guage and recirc......especially as I'm 40 in a couple of months.

Dump valves does nothing to cars and agree recirculating ones are much better

Agree with this.

Why did you get rid of the Hawk?

Got rid of Hawk because it seemed boring and didn't stand out enough,plus the Bug had all the toys and the hawk was basic apart from PPP and 5" box i put on...my 1st real Scooby so jumped in without thinking really ...although was a nice motor and i would have another......STI Next time in blue of course.


Still disagree on the scoop

Agreed, aftermarket blob-style scoops look wrong on bugs

Otherwise, looks very tidy

UK300 mate, distinctive features give it away, headlights, splitter, wheels, spoilers, seats, badges.

I liked the Blob scoop, if you like it stick with it, its your car at the end of the day. The grilles are Zunsports, available on eBay, mine were painted and stenciled though as they look pretty pap in standard form. http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nk...geye&_osacat=0

More pics if it inspires you::
















How it was on 17" P1 alloys when I sold it to a memeber on here




edit:
Video the day before I sold it, tyres very noisey Silverstone Type RR tarmac tyres

There not Morettes, they are Prodrive lamps, and they don't look right colour coded, I havevseen them in the flesh, and on a mica blue car they look wrong in blue I suppose it down to personal choice.

They crop up for sale on here every now and then, but hold money well due to the rarity.

For me, the Blob Sti scoop even looks too large on the car it was designed for! I much prefer the standard WRX scoop and think they were spot on to make it smaller on the Hawk Sti.
Rest of the car looks great though mate and it's one of my favourite limited edition imprezas. I think the Bug has aged really well!

Wasn't the focus of the higher designed scoop aimed at actually directing more air to the TMIC at high speed, rather than just style alone?

Exactly. That`s why WRX`s don`t have them
