It's not a ploughTo be honest it doesn't extend any further than something like a JUN front splitter on the old classics - looks fine.

not my cup of tea... it is a little on the 'I'm trying hard' look...

but I suggest you ignore every word anyone else says and if you like it... that it.

looks alright, but thats from someone who owns a plough. Ive had nothing but good comments from people (except for those in SNET who just want to promote stock-blue scoobs and cant see anything passed that).

Just watch the front on curbs, ive rubbed mine several times now and needs a new paintjob

If you're going for the OTT look, then it works well with the big scoop.

If you don't like the splitter, then get rid of that scoop as the car doesn't look right in the first pic either.

If you don't like this splitter those looks good on Bugeye





Its V2 lip and usually you can source him from USA

Good thread about them and how it looks

http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show...php?p=32880674


And as above loose big scoop,WRX or Bugeye STi one will better suit

Your gonna need more than a splitter to make that look good, bloody bugs...lol.....


Just pulling your pi$$er chap, looks alot better with the splitter fitted. Think I'd of been tempted with a Prodrive bumper though.

The Prodrive bumper on the Bug actually makes the Bug 'lovable'!

Thinking about Bug fronts, I'm sure I've seen a jap Porche style front somewhere that improves the look no end

Love it Chief, IMO the Bugs aren't that good-looking to start with so anything you can do to make it look as hard as a bare-chested Geordie in the middle of winter gets my vote!
All down to your preferences, mine is 99% standard 'cos that's how I like it - wouldn't do for us all to like the same stuff!
