Is this genuine?
 

Me thinks this isn't genuine. Front grill? Rear headlights aren't blobeye....I may well be wrong. What does the panel say?

rear lights look fine

My euro import blob STI was a 52 plate

It a bug with blob front end, grille is from non turbo I think, rear bumper, lights and interior are defo bug.

yeah def a reshaped bug, interior center console gives it away on the main, but as said arse end lights are also a give away.

Rear view of my 52 plate (Regged 24th Feb 2002) Blob

Rear Lights & bumper are identical

if you mean the linked and yours then you need to go practice 'spot the difference', cos they aint the same lol

the line of the bottom of yours has a round bump donw in it before going up the side of the boot, in the one linked its flat right to the curve up.

take it back, no they are not!

Circular lens over fog light? That the difference?

Flat

yep very subtle difference, but its a dead give away due to being easily overlooked when doing the switch.

There are cars like this in Cyprus, they have been in accidents in Japan (before being imported to Cyprus), and are repaired using blobeye front parts, hence the blobeye front and bugeye rear and interior.

One thing for certain is that Subaru did not manufacture a car with a bugeye rear and blobeye front.

An additional thought is may have been 'converted' at some stage in its life........possibly, but very costly I would have thought.

easy to do the conversion, expensive to get it done though. i've seen an 02 plate hawkeye before,,, lol

ok so it wasn't a genuin hawkeye, but the guy had the whole bodykit, front and back. from the outside you wouldn't have been able to tell.

personaly i'd stay well clear of cars like this. as you say its nromaly accident damage when the conversions done.

If he is selling it as a genuine blob I would keep well away, you don't know what else he could be hiding

also when was mica green a limited edition?

They didn't do mica green blobs did they? Thought they stopped on bugs

was def on bugs, mates is same colour, if so then another give away

i agree i can never recall seeing a green blob??

No bad thing, not a great colour for it and i like green!

Definately a Bugeye.. Blobeye's were never made in green .. 100% sure

Obviously used to be a bugeye.

It's got special edition saggy rear wing! Super rare!
