Default MY98 White classic - Mods so far!!!

Well since i bought this scooby last month i have been so busy with moving house and changing jobs that i haven't been able top post up on here as i've been doing my mods. i managed to take a few phone pics today so here they are.

Here's the car when i first picked it up.







Then over the last month i have done the following

STI Rear lights
Facelift Grill
Crystal side lights
STI 6 rear spoiler
New tinted windows to rear windows at 35%

Before STI'S with new spoiler



After STI'S with new spoiler





Also i sold my gold wheels today and have got these black newage alloys to run around on till my new 18" Inovit ST6 alloys come.







Currently in the bodyshop is my new Version 6 front bumper and a set of door handles getting colour coded. So far i'm pleased with how the scooby is coming along

What do you guys think?

Thats coming along nicely what colour are your new wheels going to be, I liked the gold on white.
Those STI rear lights do make the world of difference.

They are black 6 spokes with a polished lip. But actually i gotta say i'm already missing the gold alloys, they did look nice it's just i've seen a pic of a white classic with the black inovit alloys and it looked superb.

The other option i fancied was going for the gold again and getting it stickered up.

Cars looking great, your defo going down the right route. I'm liking the dark wheels, keep away from the stickers though, go with what Kytey said and stay with the clean look. Really liking the dark wheels myself.

Looks good mate

Another vote here for no stickers - I prefer the clean look, but I guess it's all down to personal choice...

That is looking great as it is. When you do the door handles it will clean it up a bit. Then stop. The Black on white is very nice but as Kev said the Gold looked good as well.

There is a set of Black STI calipers on eBay that would look great on this IMO. Otherwise paint the back calipers as that is the ONLY thing that draws the eye.

Great job.

Default VERSION 6 BUMPER

Well, fitted my Version 6 front bumper today and what a b1tch of a job it was, i've never seen a bumper held on with so many bolts in all my life
But gotta say it was worth all the hassle as the end product is awesome, cant wait to get my fog covers and P1 splitter from the bodyshop to finsih the car off

After that i'll get my new wheels on it and get it lowered and i'm happy with the outside, gonna get a blow over done so that the paintwork looks mint and i'm done.......Maybe

The start







Nearly there



Finished

Much better mate, nice work.

Where did you get the bumper from?

Sometimes I wish I had a white un' especially after seeing yours.

What's next colour coded door handles?

I prefer the gold wheels but hey, still a nice car!

Well, managed to get my colour coded door handles fitted today and i'm unsure if i like them or not, i think the black looks good next to the black alloys but i will be changing my rims to gunmetal grey soon so i think the white will look better then

AFTER

Looking good scooby23, makes all the difference. My handles were originally black, 10 times better colour coded.
