My 1.6 bugeye to blobeye project
Hi July 2012 I brought my first 1.6 impreza weren't to keen on the body kit but mechanically it was sound it had done 64k [/IMG] [/IMG]
I kept it as it was for a couple off months then decided the body kit and rear lights had to go... I first purchased a set off aftermarket lights wich looked like the standard ones[/IMG]
A couple of weeks later I got hold off a uk 300 bumper and a set of silver side skirts [/IMG]
Off to the body shop it went and came out looking like this[/IMG]
Now I was happy with the finish I decided to plan the turbo conversion then this happened only 4 weeks out the body shop :-( my partner hit a bit off black ice and ploughed it into the back of a mondeo st [/IMG]
I decided that it was time to convert it into a blobeye I brought a complete front end, mirrors and for £20 I brought a titanium strut brace bargain :-). So over Christmas I spent my time building it back up.....[IMG][/IMG][/IMG].[/IMG]
It stayed like this till a couple off weeks ago when I decided to vinyl wrap it and get rid off the rear spoiler and have a gloss black boot, Im goin to spray the door handles, and prep the back bumper as its cracked all over then wrap that too enjoy :-) [/IMG] . [/IMG] .[/IMG]
Sparco Harness fitted[IMG][/IMG]

Yeah there some fine adjusting still need to be done but as it was in a crash I don't think il never get it perfect, but was very easy to do the only problem I had was wiring up the headlights everything else just bolted straight on, I was goin to go in more detail of the conversion but there's plenty of them on here

Front wings, bonnet, bumper and support, headlights and slam panel... If the slam panel is fitted correctly all the parts will just bolt straight into the original fixings there plenty off threads on here to show you how to do the conversion in great detail
