With the exception of the bonnet scoop, sidelights, wing mirrors and tail lights I actually think that body kit suits the car

I'd quite like a similar grill for mine, ideally the Zero Sports one...

Not so keen on the leather interior mind.

I think I'll sit on the fence and say that every addition is hideous

The front end even makes the Morettes look poor (if they are Morettes)

Worst bits IMO are the seats. Is he colour blind?

I quite like the wheels. Bodykit kind of works but too much c/f on show. Lose the front grille and colour code the scoop and it'd be OK.

It's about as one off as the next guy who mail orders the same combination of freely available aftermarket body add-ons.

Seats are one off though <boiks>

apart from the countless bad points theres one people haven't noticed is that it is not a red top engine!! he staes its a sti 4 must be an engine swop.

the scopp would look good on a carbon fibre bonnet, i personally think a scooby aint a scooby without foglights lol.

he he how some people mod scoobs nowadays is laughable,but unforgiveable to do that to a type r.Remember at some point hes looked round at it and thought "yer thats mint" pmsl !!! mildly modded classics are becoming very rare why are there so many people who seem to go too far with cheap tacky mods???????? if you wanna change the look of the car to that extent buy a car you like in the first place lol

Yes, but he still has some way to go before he can match Subaru themselves. i.e.
is much worse IMHO and its standard. :

I am not sure if the new owner has changed some of the parts, as my friend use to own it previously.
When he owned it, the car had the same body kit but with an original P1 rear spoiler & interior, Rays volks alloys in gold, no carbon scoop, just standard type with standard vents.
Plus looks like its had a engine change previous engine was a red top.
The body kit

From some of the after maket kits Ive seen this one just about gets away with it, Have to agree with Beastie. http://www.subaru-sti.co.jp/product/.../top/top01.jpg thats one ugly looking kit.
