Sorry for the poo pics. I will get some better ones when its not so frikkin cold!!!!


:D:D:D

:thumb: Looks stunning mate, was nice seeing it in the flesh at the last shardlow meet! :)

Oh yeah you were in white scoob were you not?

:D

Was frikkin freezing then too!!! :)

Sorry mate, not a fan of the roof scoop...other than that it looks good :)

LOL, its a bit marmite mate. I am not even sure myself but i dont like the standard pop top so i covered it up! :D (its a V-Limited)

White with stickers matey yep! Aye it was proper cold!!

hmmm - maybe a bit ott for me. Type R's are good though :)

Andy what you in at the moment? I've been around town quite a lot lately!

Hi Mate

I am currently packing my phat Skoda Fabia :)

But i haven't been in town a lot recently, but i will make a point of driving through. Do you work at that place next to commet ?

No mate I don't work there anymore, most of the time I'm in town for social reasons nowadays! ;)

lol - i will give you a pip if i see you. My car is C reg btw ;)

Very nice, clean well looked after example. Just one problem, get some better alloys, i hate K2's (?)

LOL im after some Ultralites at the mo. Should have em on in about three weeks! :D

Are you mad! :D 'pop top' looks great, a 'cover up' the scoop ain't :D

And the rear lights.. where was your mind? poor Type R

And the wheels :freak3: (good to see you're getting ultralites :D)

Sorry, I think the 3 door type r's are pretty much perfect apart from maybe a set of Volk wheels or similar. But it's your car and that's my opinion (which hopefully don't mean a thing to you :D )

maybe some like these :cool: https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v...y/100_0281.jpg

Your wheels are far better than those horrible volts. Ignore the comments of these guys. They give thumbs up comments to some right standard tat on here. yours is better plain and simple. :luxhello:

volts or volks;)

I have to agree with the wheel comments, not to my taste, but the rest of the car is spot on, I even like the rear lights:D

Stunning scooby mate :thumb:

Thats a really nice scoob, heavens know why you would want to jump off a cliff. :D

But if you do decide to jump, Ill be happy to give it a nice home. ;)

The exterior of the type r should be left as it is..imo
Apart from maybe a v6 front lip for the v5 models the styling is perfect.

Thanks for all your comments guys its really appriciated and I value all of them.

Its always going to raise a few eyebrows modding a car like the R. My problem, well I have 2 actually..... First one being that I am a serial modifier and the second is that I relly want to have something different. Yes I want to be different so I bought a Type R. Then I just wanted my Type R to be different from the rest in all honesty. My mondeo is a mondeo. Same as god knows how many others on the road. My Scoob is well...Different! :D

When you come to mod a car like this, or any other for that matter there will ALWAYS be parts on the car that other people do not like. We are after all, only human. Thankfully we are all different and have different tastes. Also I fully understand that many of the guys on here like the standard type look on their own cars. Fair enough IMO :)

At the end of the day, although it has caused me many headaches and heart ache at times, I still love my car to bits as I am sure most people on here do with their own cars - we are after all supposed to be enthusiasts.

To sum it up, you could not possibly say any fairer than that. If you still dont agree and you think my car is a stinking pile of poop and you think I am an idiot for messing with the styling.............. GO FOOK YOURSELF!!! :hjtwofing

BTW, I am not ACTUALLY going to jump off a cliff :D

[whisper]I put lexus lights on my wrx I used to have a few years back (when they came out)[/whisper]

So I'm a fine one to talk..

I did see sense though and get some genuine STi rear lights (some pr!ck swapped them for my lexus ones - I call him a pr!ck because he still owes me £50 from 3 years ago)

Lovely looking car and the rear lights ignore the comments......people seem to take offence if there not the STI ones ;)

Agree with teh roof scoop it looks kinda odd maybe thats becuase of its size but as you said each to there own. Hope one day i can swap my MY00 2000 for a type R

Best Ashley

Cheers mate! :thumb:

No luck with the cliff idea then matey?

You've got more dials then an aircraft:eek:, personally not keen but hey it's yours and not mine so do what the hell you like:thumb:, although i'd probably give painting it pink with little yellow dots all over it a miss:D

:lol:

I did consider it! :)

lovly lookin car mate . guage heaven in there lol
