This was clearly a Gay Coppa wishing to introduce himself when he saw your Gold Wheels ...... seeing the baby he concluded that you 'may' not be gay - so, backed off
Get some MANS wheels put on and you'll get pulled over for all the right reasons!!

Look at it this way: if Scoobies get a reputation as being popular with the old Bill, they might become les attractive to the Scum!
PS. Don't listen to PS lewis, gold wheels are not gay!! I have em on mine and don't like Graham Norton that much ;-)

Ive been pulled over recently in my WR1 in a Police Camera Action kind of way with 3 cop cars and the copter on standby?????? in case i floored it hahaha
I wasn't doing anything, he was just checking i was the owner and that it wasnt knicked. Pain in the **** really , kinda get the feeling i cant drive it without the coppers following me.

I've been quite lucky so far, I've had a couple of police cars have a look at me, but never been stopped (touchwood). Quite surprising as I've been told I look significantly younger than my 28 years (must be the oil of Olay ;-) ) If they run a owner details check on you -don't know what the official term is- based on your reg before stopping you, it may be my title that's disuading them from going through with it. . . . that'd be a nice -if unexpected- perk! ;-)

I was pulled once in my old scooby by a couple of coppers just wanting to make sure I was the legitimate owner and that the car wasn't stolen. Full marks to them for doing their jobs I say.

In nearly 9 years of driving I had not been pulled over until I brought my old WRX.
In the year of ownership I was pulled over twice, but on both occasions, the police were very friendly, they were just doing their jobs. Both asked about the car, made sure I was the owner, had a bit of a chat about the car and let me go on the way.
They are only human, give them a bit of respect and you'll get it back.

i have to admit, i'm not keen on the gold wheels either, they happened to come with the car, anyone want to swap? i belive they've been painted (invoice on original reciept) so can the paint be easily removed by subaru? he did'nt say much, looked round the car and off, no check unless he did the reg prior to stopping me. I wander if the inflatable baby thing is a seller, i'll have a think about that!!

Have a look for an alloy wheel refurbishers. You should be able to get them removed, tyres removed, shot blasted and powdercoated to the colour of your choice for £50-70 per corner.
Best place near me is....

But, if you're NOT Gay then I reckon you should dump the Gold and get them back to Silver .... Anthracites are nice too (one thing on the P1 that I thought was nice!) [unbelievably, some changed the P1 wheels to Gold ]

Cops guaranteed to back off.
Unless in "Blunderstrum" country.
Also handy to have in car whilst waiting for Subaru Assist to arrive.

I so far haven't had a pull(oo-er missus) in the scooby, but i have been followed by the police and intently watched, but on both occasions i get teh impression that they were just checking the car out making sure it wasn't missing a drivers window or had a screwdriver hanging out of the ignition. The coppers who watched me intently when doing the'r 2 drive-bys even waved before driving off!
I've always found coppers ok, as said above be respectful and you should get no trouble.

I'd be pleased they stopped me, just stopping people stealing Scoobs.
BTW, my Mrs wants me to change the WRX 01 bugeye silver wheels for gold.
She's not gay but I can always hope...
