Default I got the bug.....

Hi guys and gals
Thought i would post up my new car as i have had a few since my green sport in my avatar.

Got a bug wrx now running 321 bhp (estimated by bob rawle)

When i got her


Full RCM exhaust


Hated the standard headlights so that was first thing to sort out.
From this


To this


I actually bought the light before i bought the car lol

Next up was a splitter



Next up HKS ssqv


Then the wheels needed addressing as i wasnt a fan of the standard ones.



I'm aware it needs lowering before anyone says anything lol.

I have a PSI3 to fit at some point and 40mm tein springs too. Its a on going project.

Hope you like it as much as me

Cheers
Dan

Not a bad little motor. The scoop looks hideous though, and I'd check out the tyres as they look like the wrong size - too low profile

Well done on upgrades and its always good to see another wagon. Definitely lose the scoop - looks out of place imo. Are you going to lower it? I remember looking at those projector halo headlights many moons ago before going with Sti HIDs - are they any good? Much better than standard in terms of looks though.

you can get a bug sti scoop to fit your intercooler, this will suit the car far better.
looks great apart from the scoop

35's will leave you speedo quite a bit out and with the teins the ride will start to become quite harsh. Should be 225/40's on 18s or 215/45s on 17s for a newage WRX.

Most people find it too big and angular for the rounded lines of the bug, but it's your car mate so go with what makes you happy

Although i agree with 90% of the guys on the scoop and putting the bug one back on. It is your car and if we were all the same life would be boring.

Have you considered spraying the scoop the same colour as the car not for it to stand out too much?
