Default Back in a scoob after 5 weeks lol, its a bit marmite let me know what you think

Pics below are of my old scooby and i swapped that for a golf as i thought id save on fuel but missed the stance/burble/fun of my old scooby.
So sold the golf and bought this 99 plate for £1550.
I dont really like decals but quite liked this and the big s201 spoiler is sort of growing on me.
I know some will either like or hate it, but all comments welcome.
It seems quite tho maybe with the magnex back box and its NOT dacated is this why ?
cheers.
old scooby


the golf


My scoob i just bought

The spoiler is a bit OTT to be honest,
looks like the one off the s201. Looks
ok apart from that.

Looking beyond the decals it looks a nice motor. As others said, first one was nice. But its your motor to do what you like with

If the spolier is a genuine one why dont you take it off and sell it, would've thought they would fetch big money on the right website. Stick a V5/6 spoiler on and have money left over. I like the car btw, just not sure on the spoiler.

It wont be far off your old one if you can source an oe spoiler & if you can get rid of the decals without leaving any marks on the bodywork. Less is more for me! Love the classics!

Remove the stickers and put some nice wheels and a normal spoiler on it and you've got a winner, but at the minute it looks horrendous, in my opinion of course

Who cares what people think, your the one that has to live with it mate. For what it's worth, I don't think it looks to bad to be honest.

Get a hair dryer on it, softens the adhesive and then a tar remover to clean of the residue - unless its had a poor respray you'll be fine
