Default Blob Eyes - Year Introduced?

Hi all,

I was driving down a local road earlier and spotted a Y plate Blob eye STi scoob. It wasn't a cherished reg or anything and it got me thinking.

What year did the STi 8 come out? Or if it was Jap when did the JDM ones get released?

Has somebody near me purchased a lemon!?

Oh yeah, hi bythe way. I have been registered for a while but never posted.

2003 is when the blob was introduced. The car you spotted is probably a bug eye scooby with a blobeye front end.

Late 2002 the first Blobs were around... 52 plates onwards (although i stand corrected if someone had one on a 02).

A Blob with a Y plate must be a cherish plate.. or a converted Bugeye.

Was definately not a cherished plate, was a standard Y*** *** plate. Must be a damaged repaired bug eye then.

Late 2002 they were introduced mate.

As previously stated some peeps have had the blobeye conversion done on their bugeye but its not cheap.
