My favourite part is your illegal number plate :P as if scoobys dont attract enough attention from the rozzas :P

 

your car looks really nice, i dont understand why you have spoiled it with those lights.
they belong on a saxo not a subaru.

 

Because he is a narrow minded pr!ck. I dont like lexus lights, so i havent got any for mine, yet i dont feel the need to slate others who have.

 

Thanks, had it on 2 months and havent been pulled. Theres a plod who lives round the corner from me and walks his dog past it every day, he even stopped to chat to me about the car without mentioning it.

I've got the standard plate and some sticky pads in the boot should it be required.

 

it needed new light's when i got it as the twins that we're on it well they looked bad and we're ****ed i had no fog light and the sti light's we're cracked and rather spend money on getting the engine how i want it than the look's right now, oh by the way it's going RS green when i paint it with a black roof and black sti decals, what you doing with that chav tastic one of your's ?

 

front plate's aint really a problem all the cam's work off the back was driving with no plat on the front of mine for age's till i got the sticker just for the rally car look even got pulled and they didnt say a thing

 

nothing i like the way it is, some coilovers and a new turbo possibly but i prefer the clean look.

 

i ment that red thing with a 1,000,000bhp

 

as mentioned before a joke avatar.

 

thought you got it off ebay ? and was going to brake it ? or did i miss read ?

 

yes long story, won the auction of the so called 500 bhp 30k spent beast which in reality was a 220 bhp standard mechanically **** body kitted piece of crap.

bid just for giggles as i knew it was all lies and before anyone complains i was full prepared to buy the car and use the running gear in a track day car if it really was as described.

 

well i was thinking something similar to the roger clark stripes ? but in black and graphite ? or i quite like the cusco in black and graphite ? but im swaying towards just wrapping my roof and bootlid in carbon to match my bonnet " which was my original idea " cant decide

 

****'s me right off that when they list with super power that they aint got drive's the price's down on propper cars

sorry for hijacking the thread mate and would look good with all that carbon, but dont cost that much more for the realy thing i got bonnet and wing's in carbon to go on when i paint and they only cost me £250

 

Ooooh InitialD, you're on my wavelength with the Black and graphite. I was thinking of going for a sort of "ghost" stripe down the bottom, identical to the roger clark but in a sort of smoked effect rather than a bright colour.

Saying that, I do have red calipers and graphite wheels so its hard to know what would blend well.

 

its alright , but it looks like all the other scoobies to me

 

When you wrap a part of your car in the carbon fibre look vinyl, does it not show the lack of depth that you get on a real carbon fibre panel? Or is it specially printed to give that look. You follow what I mean Mr D? I'm curious as it seems a much cheaper way of getting a carbon look, BUT only if you can't tell the difference.



For the record, I met Luke today and even if he was a chav you wouldn't say it to his face

 

hi andy you get back ok or did little man kick off again, and you can tell the difference i got quoted £100 for a bonnet wrap and it look's nothing like the real thing and i got my carbon bonnet (not fitted) for the same price and got carbon wing's in the loft and the was only £100 plus £50 postage so mite be cheaper to get the real thing vinyl dose not last very well in the bad weather 2 years top's on 10year vinyl over here

 

lol my dads bigger than yours!
its an internet forum, people have differing opinions of what they like, i personally dislike graphics and lexarse lights as i feel they cheapen the cars.
i am a newage sti owner but love the looks of the classic if its well done and subtle like hamsters.
i really like the look of the ops car other than the lights.

 

i like hamster's car and my light's and decals hid the bad paint work VERY well

andy could you hear mine chattering over your zorst lol

 

mine really doesnt look like carbon fibre . its 3m di-noc which i first saw on a crazy pickup truck about 3 years ago and thought it looked really nice . i dont they were trying to replicate carbon when they made it ? but its very similar . i think its not as tacky looking as the other carbon look vinyls ? and the quality is really very good Hamster like the sound of ghost style , nothing to lairy i think the wr blue is actually hard to match graphics with ?

 

the 3m stuff looks very good and its textured so looks very similar to the real stuff,
but its expensive probably cheaper to get a real carbon boot and sell the old one on.

 

Carbon parts aren't that cheap here. U got yrself a real bargain. Just a hood on its own was well over £870. U can get the wrap on Ebay but all dependant on size. Seen some that comes in at around £35. Just gotta be at the right place at the right time I suppose.

 

everything that real carbon has a gel coat that makes it glossy not textured but +1 for getting the real thing you need all the weight saving you can get with new age

 

well i can wrap it myself and the amount for roof and boot should cost in the region of £200 so quite a good price ?

 

I'm still not sure on external carbon wrap, the finish it too "matt" for me. Looks good on the interior but just lacks depth externally imo

 

Shame u live so far from me would have asked u 2 give me a hand doing mind. Dont think I will attempt it just yet lol.

 

£100 a panel is about the average to get some1 to do it cheaper than a carbon roof but i bet if you looked for a bit you'd get a carbon boot for £100-£150 with selling your's

 

honestly mate its not as hard as u think ? as long as u have a heat gun and a bit about you , youll be fine go for it . even if it creases or bubbles u can pull it back and do it again , its quite forgiving .

 

I side with you on all the above. Not a fan of angel lights or lexus ones etc, but Luke was a genuine chap today and has the afore mentioned on his car. I'm certainly not changing my opinions and do agree with you. Luckily it's sometimes just a difference of taste and not the situation in where you see a totally barried up Scoob and the owner ends up a tosser too.

For the record, Mr Sonic has some serious mods under the bits people aren't keen on, and oooober light weight wheels too

I still don't like VTA's though

 

Yeah bit of paddy time when we got onto the '62. Stopped at a services and he was hunky dorey after a nappy change/bottle. shame we were both busy mate, otherwise I'd have let you put the kettle on as well as getting a bargain set of Speedlines
