Hi, anyone used a Norris kit on a blobeye scoob?

:: Welcome to Norris Styling ::

I would like to get an idea of quality etc, computer generated image looks great, but what does it look like in real life

thanks
Iain

 

dont think the impreza is suited to any body kits other than the 22b look

 

urrghhh, that looks terrible imho very clunky, oversized and over square

 

yep thats why I would like to see some pics of people who have them fitted to see what they 'really' look like

 

That norris design bodykit is a chargespeed replica kit. Check out ƒ`ƒƒ�[ƒWƒXƒs�[ƒh chargespeed web page and it will give you a good idea of what they look like. The Chargespeed kits tend to have a bit of a smoother edge to them compared to the norris ones.

Here is a pic of one of my previous scoobs with the chargespeed front lip on to give you an idea of how it can look:

 

I like that, had a look on the link and definitely look better than the Norris one. I expect its a bit more expensive too. Where can you order them from?

 

also what wheels are those in the pic? do they come in black with a silver rim? I'm trying to find some ones for my car which is a silver blob and cant decide! ...

 

If you get in touch with Darren Bezant at autobodyworks Subaru Bodywork he will be able to source you any chargespeed bits, I think he is a member on here.

The wheels are 19" RSGT's but you will have to use a 5mm spacer to get them over the Brembos and you can get them with black centres.

 

A few pics of silver blobs with Cargespeed kit:




I had this kit but for my old bugeye. Bought it from SRB Power Ltd - Chargespeed Impreza GD-C/D/E Blob Eye (02-05) Half Kit
Who import direct from Chargespeed themselves.
Quality of the kits were top notch imo.

 

Have you got a link to a suppliers for these wheels as I'm looking for some black rims too? Been searching the net for them but can't seem to find any.
Are they Aerospeeds?

 

Yes mate, they are the Arospeed wheels. But Im not to sure you can get the RSGT's anymore, but Kei (who are the same company) do the RSS's and they are very similar.

4x 18 Inch RSS Gloss Black Alloy Wheels With 225/40/18 Tyres - Topgear Alloy Wheels

I will do a bit more of a search to see if Arospeeds are still available.

 

The original Chargespeed gear is very good quality, and requires minimal work prior to painting, and worth the extra cash IMHO...

Every kit I have used sourced/produced in this country has been $hite quality....

 

Thanks for the reply guys, when the time/money allows I'll be looking into a chargespeed I think. As I own a WRX will I need the STi wings?

 

No, will fit yours no problems.

 

lovely jubbly

will be finishing off me engine mods in around 4 weeks time with a map from Bob, then looking into springs/wheels and a kit. Oh and xmas will be in there somewhere too so better get the missus something .....

 

have the body kit on mine view my plus profile for pics

fitting wise was a pain in the **** but i got the full kit for £200 think they've gone bust now tho

 

Nice
£200 is a fookin bargain!!

 

looks good!

 

I don't think the kit is to bad, quite like the front and side skirt but really don't like the rear add-on, looks out of place sort of stuck on.

I'd 'personally' pay the extra and buy the chargespeed rear bumper, it's the same as with the splitter but 1 piece so looks much smoother and in line.

 

now that looks the muts nuts!

 

Trust me, the Chargespeed stuff is good quality.

BUT, and this is where most people make their cars look a mess, You need the right size wheels to make the kit look good.
Standard size wheels/tyres look puny against the kit.

You either need to space the original wheels out by 10mm, or you need a wider wheel/tyre combo...

 

I'd like to go for some 18's, I was thinking something like the rotas mentioned above in black with a red or chrome lip. Would I need to space aftermarket 18's out or will they fit fine?

 

Depends on certain factors, such as the et of the wheel, whether you've big brakes to clear.

It's possible to fit 19's straight onto a Newage without rubbing.

I'm running 18" PFF7's and i've had a small suttle 30mm drop at the rear and 25mm at the front.

That Chargespeed Rear bumper i'm going to order next week.

 

nice - like to hear how you get on - any issues clearing those speed bumps?!

 

I ran the STI V-Splitter, 17" standard STI wheels and 30mm drop and I have no issues with any bump i've ever come across be it sleeping police men or the dreaded silly middle of the road square blocks.

Obviously the front is by far the lowest point at current, my skirts sit a little higher and the rear looks much higher so i'm thinking with the aid of this Chargespeed rear bumper then it'll all look level.

^^ Thats a rough idea of how low it sits at front, anything 4" or higher will always clear bumps.

Browsing 'fleabay' I stumbled across that kit listed at the top as well, it's obviously a replica, so it's not going to probably be as good a fit but if your interested in that kit at this price I don't think you can go wrong.

EMB earlier was referring to the width of the wheels - I guess with the chargespeed front lip standard wheels look really skinny and hide behind the arches - have you spaced out your wheels?

 

Not spaced mine out, because the bumpers sit lower it makes the wheels look smaller, it's not so much spacing them out, unless you opting for the wide arch kit as the bumpers, still side the same width as the standard ones.

Because it sits lower I wouldn't fit that unless you have 18's atleast.

 

its all in the pipeline - I mean wishlist!!

Thanks for your comments, nice looking scoob too btw

 

When I had the kit on my bugeye I ran 19s on it with no problems whatsoever, no rubbing nothing and the car was lowered 40mm on Tein springs.


As with speed bumps, I didn't really have much problems, only times were getting onto a friend's drive which was sloped, normal speed bumps weren't a problem though.

I think 18s can look good with the kit too, when I sold the car to a friend, he put 18inch Rotas on it

 

I've heard that 19's cause problems with the speedo and handling .. is this right?
