BUT WHY?

Do you really want to turn a thing of beauty into an ugly Seat lookalike?

I would be surprised if someone on NASIOC hasn't done this already.

Either way, your looking at wings, bonnet, bumper and headlights.

MY06 car is the best looking yet IMO, but each to their own. Would be very boring if we all liked the same thing.

Bugeye owners - we all know our cars are lovely. If the blob and Mazda drivers what to think otherwise let them.

I'm ignoring those who drive around in the cheap bangers.

I like all shape Scoobs, because I am a Subaru fan at the end of the day. Even like the new hatch.
