Default Poor Little Sport


Sadly I'm only 22.. well sadly as I cant afford a turbo

However I do own a Sport and its a lovely drive, very quick too


Ok, I'm on here cause (hopefully you'll accept me as a Scooby Driver) I need someone to take me under there wing and help me out.

As you can see from the pic I've tried to change it, but I've hit hard ground with the bonnet, no one wants to touch it. I;m not sure if replacement or adding vents to this one is best ? I dont have much cash so Carbon is outa the window

Anyone help me do my dream car up ?
Sorry about the colour had to buy the best car for my money, £5500 6 months ago, 50,000 miles FSH, perfect condition.
Added The sti wing, the white indicators and the full Peco sports exhaust.
4 New tyres (£250) and a full service at £450, leaves me wanting the bonnet so much

Hi Bud, welcome to the forums!

I don't talk from experience here but you'd be best of getting a complete turbo bonnet off a crumpled turbo from somewhere like Grade A Subaru Breakers http://www.gradea-subaru.co.uk/ and getting it painted up accordingly. Come to think of it there are sometimes some up on ebay - take a look.

It will be far cheaper and neater to do it this way than retro-fit them to your existing bonnet.

Good luck

This is also a good cheap upgrade for a sport Two pots from a turbo with 280mm discs instead of the standard 260mm ones that are shockingly bad
