My 1st bugeye
 
Hi all I have recently bought a 2002 black bugeye wrx looks totally standard at the minute but I have big plans for it!
Totally standard apart from prodrive exhaust and forge dumpvalve and a filter!

Bodywork is pretty straight front could do with a paint IMO (bonnet and scoop) but I'm going to try and buff it best I can as I don't think it's had a polish in years so gonna be hard work but hopefully be worth it!

theduck 28 November 2013 11:43 AM

Looks nice, those bonnet latches are awful though!

antonio99er 28 November 2013 11:58 AM

Ian.e cheers pal seen yours around wheels look cool with the blue paint! U don't have any spares you want to sell do you?
That's exactly how I want it to look!!!

M2RTXhawkeye 28 November 2013 02:37 PM

Cheers. Got a few odds and ends kicking about, mostly standard stuff though. Got a VF35 too though. :norty:

antonio99er 28 November 2013 02:51 PM

Cheers Martin starting as you did!

Ian have you got the fog light covers noticed you changed yours?

ian.e 28 November 2013 03:49 PM

Yeah have got fog covers, they're in silver though.

antonio99er 28 November 2013 04:21 PM

How much you want for them mate?

ian.e 28 November 2013 05:14 PM

Will let em go for £20. Don't have the little brackets they screw on to though.

ian.e 28 November 2013 05:16 PM

Yeah I do, just found them. :luxhello:

antonio99er 28 November 2013 09:24 PM

RoyPinhey 28 November 2013 11:57 PM

I made the arse of my bugeye completely bare ;)

theduck 29 November 2013 07:36 AM

Like it with wrx badge left on.

M2RTXhawkeye 29 November 2013 09:23 AM

Looks better imo mate

Martin

antonio99er 29 November 2013 12:37 PM

Ye I think it looks better I will eventually change the wrx for sti but for now it's staying like this!
Why does it look blue? It's supposed to be black?

M2RTXhawkeye 29 November 2013 01:40 PM

08v is blue/black mate it has a blue fleck in the paint work that only shines when the light hits it. Best colour for an impreza imo haha

Martin

antonio99er 29 November 2013 03:44 PM

Ye thanks for that mate wasn't sure if it was right but I'm guessing yours is the same colour lol
Just picked up my fog light covers thanks to Ian.e just need to get them painted now

theduck 29 November 2013 03:54 PM

Don't put an sti badge on a wrx!!

Mortster 29 November 2013 04:11 PM

Cant beat a black bug. :)

Here's how mine looks now

Back on a smaller front plate now though, this big bugger was on for my drive to the Swiss Alps

antonio99er 29 November 2013 04:21 PM

Mortster I really like the look of that bug great job just think a scooby needs gold wheels IMO but still looks amazing great work

antonio99er 05 December 2013 12:41 PM

Hey guys on my 4 off so I decided to get some paint and sort my fog covers out so here's how they look now
Primed
http://i863.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps4ecj76an.jpg

Painted and lacquered
http://i863.photobucket.com/albums/a...psein00otf.jpg

Ignore the side markers they didn't turn out right so going to wrap them or plasti dip them black or carbon fibre

Just ordered sti stickers for the covers so will put a pick up when it's done

theduck 05 December 2013 12:48 PM

Looking good.

antonio99er 05 December 2013 07:41 PM

So the fog covers dried and I'm happy with them just slightly off colour but a massive improvement IMO just waiting for the sti stickers to come to finish them off.
Gotta try and take the lights off and de-tango them spray the chrome insides and fit my new white bulbs
