Default Roof vent dilema??

Right peeps, i`m getting my RA pretty much sorted now, however, the roof vent is a dilema is doing my head in, i don`t know if i like it or not( more to the or not if i`m honest) Trouble is it has been bolted to the bloody roof so if i get it removed it means filling in the holes and a full roof spray

What do you think ?? be honest, but no taxi jokes please and it doesn`t look THAT bad in the flesh...

.........Pete.

Fog light has been tucked underneath the bumper on a folding bracket...

It HAS to go!

Sorry, but RA's are not designed to have add - ons!

Especially not Limiteds!

Did you put an en-suite in your large roof extension ?

Seriously, leave roof extensions to houses as that looks too big and its a bit hideous and it spoils a nice scooby model.

Roof scoop needs to come off. And IMO the sunstrip should be replaced with a plain black one - or none at all (we all know its a Subaru)!!!

Great looking Classic!!

You could get some of those nice purple bulbs that you see around these days and fit them through the holes

Did you have to apply for planning permission for that loft extension ? I have never been a fan of dorma bungalows never mind a dorma scooby
