My New Bug-Eye
 
Ok, so its been a very long time since I last owned a Scooby...11 years ago to be accurate....

so I have taken the plunge and got myself a Mica Blue Bug-Eye...

It came with all the Rally Decals:

which soon came off - with just a few left as it got dark:

Welcome back to the fold mate. Keep us posted on it's progress. :thumb:

Best colour! I had a bit of a heart attack actually, seeing a DBM Bug with the carbon risers, I thought someone had stolen mine and sold it on as I have been away for 3 months!

Nice!

alphaj12 24 May 2011 01:27 PM

Never seen those risers before, like 'em

I get mixed reactions with mine, but they cost so little that the gamble was worth taking. I think they look good, at the moment!!

JonMc 24 May 2011 02:55 PM

Best colour and looks tidy:norty:

Not a fan of those scoops on a bug though:(

M444GY 24 May 2011 03:39 PM

looks nice mate :thumb: much better without the grapics

Chrish_WRX 24 May 2011 11:01 PM

Cheers guys... The risers and spoiler are getting changed for and STi 6 spoiler at somepoint. The scoop took a bit of convincing tbh.. Wasn't too sure on it the I woke up and changed my mind completely one morning and I love it now.. Next to change will probably be the alloys.. Just not sure On colour yet.. White or silver or anthracite hmmmmmmm

Update: Carbon wrapped my reflector covers
 
Well this was my first attempt at wrapping anything and had some 3m di-noc samples lying around so thought I would give it a go ;)

I got mine secondhand, but they seem to be a bit pricey as new. I think the OP is planning to remove his, give him a shout.

GIBZY 01 June 2011 07:31 PM

an excellent choice of colour. Im going to wrap my side markers but unsure whether to do it matt black or carbon as you have. ill be keeping my eye on this thread

Chrish_WRX 25 September 2011 12:51 AM

Right quick update...

Changed the Scoop back to an OEM one and now have an STi 6...which......needs painting but will get done shortley....

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...b/dab59464.jpg

got a few more things to do but will update as i go along...

Big Big shout out to my Best Bro Nash for helping change the bits over and supply me with the spoiler

MattJ85 25 September 2011 07:50 AM

Just bought a bug eye and also in Mica Blue - will post some pictures and compare.
Loving the STi 6 spoiler as very similar to the Prodrive spoiler on the classics with the higher brake light

scoobygreg 25 September 2011 07:55 AM

looking good mate


i may be intrested in the scoop if your selling and the price is right, ive got an original sti scoop (bigger than wrx but not as big as yours) if your intrested

Chrish_WRX 25 September 2011 05:29 PM

I swapped the Bigger scoop but will ask if they want to sell it or not ScoobyGreg

Cheers Matt. The STi 6 is off a classic iirc.. where abouts you based?

Pic Update
 
Hi guys,

Its been a while since I last did an update on here..

The original Spoiler has gone back on her, I have changed the Morettes for OEM headlight, covered the light inserts in Carbon Vinyl and sprayed the round vent surrounds in Matt Black along with the dash Centre console.. Here are the pics:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...b/IMG_0082.jpg

what do you all think?

We are expecting the arrival of our first child at the end of May so The scoob unfortunately will be going.. Just for apprasal purposes what do you guys reckon I could ask for her realistically?

shes an MY02 and has 84000 on the clock

many thanks
