Looks great, but some before pictures would help us see the improvements:norty:

Cheers, Added the befores, Thought I'd put them on :cry:

Yep, much nicer:thumb:

Lol 2008 frontend looks shyte by comparison, nice one :)

Good job fella, as always!

very nice. I too need the before and after to realize the improvements. Until now I thought 08-2013 was the same front end lol oops

nice :)

You are slowly but surely convincing us all that hatches arent that bad :)

Looks awesome Rob, like that alot......:notworthy :thumb:

I came to that conclusion a while back, but I also like the look of the bug:D

TBH, if I buy another scooby it will be a hatch STI:thumb:

is it just the bumper and grill thats changed??
it does look good, are you going to put mesh over the fmic?

Cheers for the positive comments. She's getting towards what I want it to look like. A fair way to go yet but keeps me out of trouble at a weekend :thumb:

Bit of of an idea what I've had to fit

57702FG213 FRONT BUMPER
57731FG310WU FOG COVER R/H
57731FG320WU FOG COVER L/H
57731FG330 COVER TOW EYE
59110FG040 MUDGUARD LINER FRHS
86636FG140WU COVER ASSY-LAMP WASHER
86636FG150WU COVER ASSY-LAMP WASHER
91121FG080 GRILLE
59110FG050 MUDGUARD LINER FLHS

Then to paint on top

Will be sorting some front lower black mesh to cover the Fmic.

Rob if you dont mind me asking how much was bumper and parts ?

Full conversion is about £1500 from what i remember sprayed and fitted.

Jeez thats alot though by now prices may come down lol cracking car tho mate

Cheers for the comments, was worth every penny it cost & it was no were near £1500.

I pulled in a favor for the paintwork, Very good friend runs his own paint shop, so just paid for for the materials.

Amazing. I didn't even realise the fronts were differant. Jeeeeez. That looks mean man. Love it.

Alright alright. Enough pics already. We're jealous enough :D

haha Sorry mate, Just had to post a couple of better pics :thumb::thumb:

All good mate. The only thing I would do, is round off the corners of the cut out for the fmic. If you get what I mean. And it'll flow with the other smoooooth lines.

Yeah I know what you mean, I did consider it at the time but by that time i got back up there it was in the booth being painted. I will have a look at it over the winter months. It will give me something to do along with fitting the bottom line kit.

Try putting some black tape over the corners, as if you had cut it out, and stand back to get an idea. And as for the bottom line kit, that's gonna look wicked. :thumb:

will be sure to give that a try, cheers for the tip :)

Yer I got a few body shop mates and might be able to get bumper and parts cheaper through my cousins garage but agreed worth every penny cracking car big thumbs up mate

Looks really aggro now.really like it good show!

Not really a fan of these new hatchbacks as im a classic boy but must say thay does look good mate. Do like the new saloons though

I love this car
