Default Some little up dates on the scoob

As I haven't used the car in a little while and with weather being bad I had the modify bug hit me

So far I have plasti dipped the Prodrive front grills , cut out the Subaru badge from grill then filled/sanded and painted satin black, changed orange bulbs in the back lights to silver, re done the steering wheel in blue x stitching and the hand brake in base ball stitch, fitted some fog covers but they are coming off as got other plans

So took car to work last two days and thought it would be rude not to get a few phone pics of the new mods

Tints next me think hope you like

Looking good Lee, personally I like tinted glass in the rear screen and rear door windows for privacy if nothing else.

It will look good with or without tints, here's my Blobeye with tints.



You could see out of the rear screen and door windows perfectly but prying eyes could not see into the car.

Looks good ty do you remember what tint it was ? Like dark smoke etc ? Was going to book it in to tinted vision in Pontypridd and seen their work and it's very good plus they do the rear in one , think they done reds car too,

Think it's around 130 for the rear and rear sides so not to bad and they have it for around 2 to 3 hours

Next on my list will be abs front lip and rear defuser and thinking of de tango the front lights but not sure yet so any ideas or input would be great, thinking of taking fog covers off and putting the standard original inserts back with mesh and remove the fog light for the brake duct look

On the rear door windows they are a total blackout 'limo' tint and on the rear screen it is something like 45% tint which still allows you to see out even in the dark.

I had mine done up in Leominster, they take the door windows out to do the job 100% so you don't get any tears or rips through the action of the window going up and down, plus they also do the rear screen in one rather than in two sections like some company's do.

It looks totally OE and factory, you would never know they had been tinted.
