Default What do YOU think makes a Scoob look sad

OK this is just intended as a bit of fun so no handbags OK?

Given all the debate in NSR over what makes a Scoob a chav chariot I thought we should have a bit of a thread as to what each of us don't like seeing done to a Scoob.

I will get the ball rolling so in order of naffness

1) VTA dump valves put on just because they make a nice noise, usually accomopnied by a post on SN asking why their car runs like a bag of sh1te.

2) The whole lowered to the scraping the ground look and those silly wide wheels that stick out beyond the tyres

3) Lexus lights - say no more

4) STI blob Scoops on a classic... a litle personal hate of mine

Ok over to you

LOL, I so nearly added something like that, but both hatch owners on here get upset at my occasional ribbing of the bland excuse for a car Subaru produce in place of a proper Scoob these days.

Stupid paintwork
That coloured plastic ducting $hite that covers wires in an engine bay
18" rims with standard size brakes
fake roof vents
Coloured interior trim that matches the outside paintwork
Those audi style LED strips stuck to the headlights

as has been said, lexus or afterburner lights, blob scoops on classics, stupid paintjobs, strectched tyres with a slammed stance, no rear spoilers (some are ok, most look like an old modeo just without the gaffa tape), audi strip lights, coloured interiors that match the outside of the car and dump valves. theres probably more but at the minute i can't think of any.

An unloved, uncared for and poorly maintained Scoob is the sadest sight.

yours is not over the top though tom and you've still thought of handling so thats the main thing. its when you can't corner it because the tyres are too stretched and the car bounces off the road is when its lowered and stiffened up to much i don'tlike it.
