Default Got a Scooby again :)

Just put a deposit down on a bugeye WRX today, I previously have owned a hawkeye (which i loved!), I went from that to an Octavia vrs (got written off) then a BMw 320ci which im part exchanging for this Impreza. Has 75,000 miles on the clock, a WRsport exhaust system and baileys dump valve, apart from that looks standard apart from the front grill. Im not a huge fan of the bugeye's front end but i will be changing the headlights for the black version which i think improves it alot, Also i need to get an sti spoiler ...picking it up next week sometime after a new windscreen has been replaced due to a large crack.

Sorry i dont know how to add photos on here so i'll just post the link.

If your happy with the price then that's all that matters. I have had a dump value on a bug wrx before and had no problems but it seems that I could have been wrong. I would look in to it because it seems that it could be worthwhile you taking it off.

Yeah didnt think the scoop was original either...And £3500 for a scooby around this area aint alot at all, not with 75k on the clock and fsh from a garage...Ah right thanks chris j t I'll see how it goes with it on...any problems and i'll remove it.
