Bored ? bug-eye to hawk-eye conversion ?
Well after being told that a hawk-eye estate is £425 a year to tax ! 
Should I join the hawk-eye gang ?
Does anyone have a clue how much the :-
Wings
Headlights
Bonnet - sport no scoop £170
Bumper
Scoop
Splitter
Will cost ?
Leaving me with two wings, an alloy bonnet with STI scoop, a pair of bug-eye STI headlights and a Prodrive front bumper with covers and Prodrive driving lamp kit with Hella 1000FF's retro fitted with HID's....
So votes please, a newer looking car on cheap VEL, or leave her alone ?
TIA

Near enough, and as you know mine goes well enough ( for me ! )....
I only do about 6500 miles a year so double would choke me.
Just feel a "freshen up" would put a smile back on my face.

Yeh Dunx get it gaffer taped on and then spray it black 
Just a thought though, What are the cost implications outside of the Project cost, ie Insurance?, and if you bolting on parts that are not OEM for that car/year does it need to be checked over by Vehicle accessor
I have an old Renault Alpine A310 that needs restoring, however as the car has been off the road now around 15years i need to put the car back to full Renault and get it passed by the ministery as what it should be, or I need to declare the car as a Kit 'Q Plate'
. Not a chance. The car was running with a BDA engine and Lotus Europa running gear.....

TBH it's a backlash from the stoopid VEL levied on the (later) hawkeye WRX....
Blob is a shocker IMHO.... I'd rather have a bug-eye sport than any blob-eye !
Opps ! Controversial....
dunx
P.S. The major part of the budget would come from disposing of my Prodrive bits....

Any other time i would say yeah go fit it mate 
But in the light your car is in such good nick, modified just right and one of the best BUGEYE STIs out there i would be inclined to say no keep it as it is, its a credit to you like it is now and looks the nuts
Although if you do change it let me know i might be interested in the lights lol
NO NO NO , keep it as it is !!!!!
