you will need

bonnet
wings
lights
grill
front bumper
slam panel

you have to cut the original metalwork behind the lights alittle then it all goes on


Just about to do this to my wrx so will let you know how it goes

You will also need the blob rear bumper and lights, it will look cack without.

Is it really worth it?

lol yeah


i bought the bug because it had no miles on it and an old boy owned it plus i knocked the dealer down 2k on the asking price lol



I have managed to get a full front end for less than £500 including a varis carbon bonnet !!!!


Not sure what im doing to the rear yet though

save 1000s and get morettes

View my scooby to see what they look like. Looks better than any other model after the conversion

I'm considering this bug to blob conversion too, just wondering if anyone had any finished pics to see how well it looks before I shell out loads. Is there much work involved in the slam panel replacement and also the cutting of the metal behind where the new lights go?

It's got to be worth the money! Even with morettes, the bug is not as good looking as a blob (runs for the hills)

now if you went from the bugeye to the present reincarnation then that wouldbe special!

There is one thats been done, saw a pic of it on one of the us sites doing Time Attack. looked good.

S!

A lad in one of the Irish clubs did the conversion on the front only and it looks good but he did it because it got a smack!

You may have bought it for good money but if you do the conversion would that not prevent you from selling it in the Future!

I'd get a MY02 Front Bumper and morettes before I'd change the front end all together!





I never liked the Bug until I saw the ProDrive style only last year for the First time and I went out and bought one!

I still wouldn't buy a standard Bug STi!

I think the ProDrive even looks better then the Blob MY03 STi that I had!

don't do it! A bug with morettes looks WAY better than blobs

Sadly Andy Greers thread is no more.

I'm a bit stuck:

For anyone else doing this facelift, a couple of the snags we've hit today I will describe below...

Some help needed for bug to blob facelift...

I need to know whatever it is that allows you to mount a blob:

• front bumper
• grill
• lamps (are there meant to be brackets near the grill?)

Other than obviously the correct 2003-05 bumper iron, what else is missing for the top of the bumper and grill to mount too?


Secondly

Also need one of each of these, they are push in front wing clips for headlamp, 2003-2005 I'm missing one yellow type, one grey/white needed
