Default One of the best bugeye's I have seen

Subaru : 415bhp sti type UK

Came across the above while browsing pistonheads, amazing looking car, I really love the styling, not over the top and in white it really sets off the car. The spec is also mental, I am surprised its not sold already.

I think his price is optimistic, unless he finds the perfect buyer. As per usual you can't expect to get money back on the mods really .

Only worth what someone is willing to pay for it, and yes i agree it is tough to try and get money for mods back.

Cant see that my car is worth anywhere near what ive spent on it... Still spending lol

However it is a beautiful example i a dare say someones going to knock him on the price anyway. If someone goes to view it and falls in love with it then who knows what money could change hands.

Aye styling is what got me looking at it twice. I like it, very subtle and I hate to say it, but makes the bug eye look better than most blob eye's I have seen.

Cracking looking car! Most peeps will be put off at £18k price tag for an X reg car ... shame really.

What he needs is someone from here who loves Scoobs & can appreciate money well spent. If only we weren't such cheap b*stards on here!

Bit OTT imo, not a fan of the mesh. 18k is a bit rediculous, he'd better off stripping any mods off of it and selling them seperately. For 18k you could pick up an almost-new hawkeye STi!

That is stunning.

It just proves one thing to me, why does it take after market companies to make a scooby look better ?

The bugeye is horrible in standard format but with a few changes it can be made to look a totally different car thats great, the classic shape looked bland in standard format until you did a simple change in putting a higher spoiler on the car.

The new 08 car looks totally bland from the photos i have seen but you can bet your bottom dollar that a styling company will come along to transform the car intop something special, why can`t subaru designers do this from the start as its only a few subtle changes here and there as is proved with this bugeye that looks brilliant.

Personally i think a well sorted bugeye looks more menacing than any other impreza model. maybe its cos its like..

"Im ugly and a dont give a ****.... move over before i eat you!!"

It is nice, but like everyone has said, price is optimistic.

£18k for a 415 bug
OR
£25 for a 530 Hawk
