Funnily enough i agree too mate , although it looks like a top job :thumb:

nyscooby 17 April 2013 09:58 PM

Need a grill badge.... and it'll look tip top tomorrow with splitter on....





Anyone got a grill badge??

Rob Day 17 April 2013 10:03 PM

Bug to Hawk I get, even front end damaged Blob to Hawk, but your Blobeye above looked fantastic. I'd say it is a shame to convert, but still the conversion looks nice mate ;)

nardoblue 17 April 2013 10:17 PM

It did look great in the blobeye form

nyscooby 17 April 2013 10:18 PM

I like new....

Not a big fan of the huge blob lenses.

stevie1982 17 April 2013 10:27 PM

Looks good mate. To all that preferred the blob I bet if the grill badge was fitted, a lower black zunsport grill, sti lip spoiler and black headlight mod I'm sure you will all change your mind. As it stands it just looks a little bare.

Get the mods done and fresh pictures and it will look the nuts

Orangio 17 April 2013 10:30 PM

I prefer the blob too lol

nyscooby 17 April 2013 10:36 PM

stevie's prob right.... it's only been back 3hrs....

needs dressing....

pjarvis6666 17 April 2013 10:39 PM

smaller scoop on the hawk??. looks a good conversion

nyscooby 17 April 2013 10:57 PM

Plug for John Pye... their knowledge of subaru is excellent. They filled me with confidence.. they replaced all the rusty panels in the job...

Fixed the aircon... repositioned the FMIC.. built new brackets for it etc....

Repaired the front bumper...

The list is huge.

And it looks mint...

Just need the extra bits on tomorrow.

WarrenSTI 17 April 2013 11:29 PM

Nice work and looks the part, but I liked the look of it as a blob eye

stonejedi 17 April 2013 11:59 PM

very nice,but as said before the blobeye rules;).SJ.

walsallboy 18 April 2013 06:57 AM

Looks great mate !:). Thanks again for my scoop !

martin850 18 April 2013 07:11 AM

Looks great.

adamb87 18 April 2013 07:46 AM

think they both look good but think the blob has the edge...

D.O.M 18 April 2013 09:35 AM

I'm another that preferred the before... blobs are the best looking shape imo
But still... job well done:thumb:

Fleetster 18 April 2013 01:26 PM

Looks good, but also prefer the blob's myself...

tubbytommy 18 April 2013 01:35 PM

we do seem to have similar styling tastes, i have considered the conversion myself as with a splitter,black headlight mod and grills i think it will look great, also the fmic looks nice too.:thumb:

thats why im interested in cost, pm me please if you prefer.
