Evolution of a bugeye
Didn't think this was a big enough project for the projects section but thought I'd document the styling changes to my Bug.
Currently the changes are a set of chavtastic rear lights, JDM replica grille and Subaru style front lip (both painted in a poorly matched paint). Forgot to add De-badged rear end and JDM HID headlights! The before photos: http://i356.photobucket.com/albums/o...n/DSC_0108.jpg http://i356.photobucket.com/albums/o...n/DSC_0103.jpg After the addition of the fog covers and carbon side markers/B pillar trim: http://i356.photobucket.com/albums/o...DSC_0009-1.jpg http://i356.photobucket.com/albums/o...n/DSC_0117.jpg First photos of the latest bits!! Not got the rear spoiler (scoobyworld STI 8), skirts (orcari) or rear lights as yet but they should arrive this week so here's some sneaky pics of the bits so far. All these bits are genuine Subaru/Prodrive - the rest are replica parts. http://i356.photobucket.com/albums/o...s/DSC_0008.jpg http://i356.photobucket.com/albums/o...s/DSC_0009.jpg http://i356.photobucket.com/albums/o...s/DSC_0010.jpg http://i356.photobucket.com/albums/o...s/DSC_0011.jpg |
how much did you pick up the sti scoop for, needs to be painted too right???
wiley |
Scoop was from JapanParts item number 009-478-003 cost about £80 + P&P which is less than breakers want although if you can get it in your colour it'll be cheaper 2nd hand. You'll need the undertray as well though if you plan to fit the intercooler.

nice mate. few nice additions. ive got the b pillars to and i think its a great addition
i'd be interested in your old spoiler when you fit the sti8 one. pm me if you are going to sell it cheers |
Can't beat a well kitted out bugeye!
Looking good and looking forward to seeing the finished project! Ricey |
Nice subtle changes mate. I like !! :)
|
That front grill was off a S202, only model in that colour. Smart! :)
Here's my front end, only finished a few weeks ago. http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j1...ront20end2.jpg |
I've got one of those too !
At first I thought it was a blob-eye grille, :lol1: dunx |
Im still messing about with the front of mine http://i516.photobucket.com/albums/u...ubaru020-1.jpg http://i516.photobucket.com/albums/u...ubaru025-1.jpg

|

Psigeek,
Both the old one on the car and the new one on the floor are genuine Subaru parts, the new one came from Bell and Colvill in Leatherhead (they do mail order on their website), the one on the car was an eBay purchase (mines actually a replica). |
Hi BB !
I recognise those lights, LOL dunx |
quality lights bb i was on the verge of buying them from dunx when my engine went bang and i pulled out due to not knowing how long or how much that it was going to cost me.
took nearly 2 month and 2 grand in the end lol |
Hi Ricey !
Have you thought of putting ultra bright LED's in your six "nostrils" ? dunx |

Ahhh !
Most honourable, Ricey San ! LOL dunx |
Got my Samco hoses so I can fit the intercooler now, anybody know where I can get some good hose clamps from?:wonder: Also had to send the rear lights back as I received clear lens lights not the red/clear as ordered :cry:

Sti spoiler arrives tomorrow! Bring on the sun!

Nice little thread this. Some nice changes being made matey.
I too have the same grille that has come off the S201. Best grille for the bugeye. Steve |
Cheers for the comments guys, quick but boring update, my new Kenwood dnx5220 HU is fitted and looks the business with great Nav/speed camera alerts, the STI rear spoiler has arrived and now my confidence in self fitting has evaporated!
Oh and some tosser keyed the back of my car so I need the boot and rear bumper resprayed as well! So does anybody have any tips/pointers for fitting a Scoobyworld rear sti spoiler to a new age? |

Stereo Porn
Ok first decent pics of the stereo, now got the correct iPod lead as well running to a new 120Gb Classic iPod - mucho musico!
http://i356.photobucket.com/albums/o...o/DSC_0107.jpg iPod control http://i356.photobucket.com/albums/o...o/DSC_0108.jpg Sat Nav screen http://i356.photobucket.com/albums/o...o/DSC_0109.jpg DVD mode |
Now for something more exciting
Ok I've fitted the rear spoiler only took 3 hours single handed.
Stage 1 the before shot! http://i356.photobucket.com/albums/o...r/DSC_0093.jpg Spoiler removed: http://i356.photobucket.com/albums/o...r/DSC_0096.jpg Template taped in place: http://i356.photobucket.com/albums/o...r/DSC_0097.jpg http://i356.photobucket.com/albums/o...r/DSC_0098.jpg Holes drilled: http://i356.photobucket.com/albums/o...r/DSC_0101.jpg Spoiler fitted: http://i356.photobucket.com/albums/o...DSC_0103-1.jpg |
looking good, hope your sealed the holes up, can't have water running in.
I'm tempted to get another spoiler, been wingless for a couple of years now, getting common lol STi one or another Cusco Carbon one hmm Ricey |
Yeah used the self adhesive washers on every hole - I still fancy the Spec D low rear spoiler, maybe next time!
Just need to get a bigger drill to drill out the inner skin so I can fit two of the bolts, and get some small spade terminals so I can hook up the rear brake light. |
There is a much easier way of getting the holes in line ...
only took me 15 minutes put the new spoiler in the original hole and push down on the spoiler and there you have it centrepunched holes ready for drilling.. got to admit its the best replacement you can do to a wrx. |
Mine had threaded holes not bolts on the base so I couldn't do it that way.
