I mean, you rarely see Evos with WRC graphics on.
The main reason why I think scooby owners feel like they need to plaster them in graphics is because of the rally heritage they have had. But I too am not a lover of graphics and shopping lists should be on note paper stuffed in your pocket. But its again peoples different opinions.

As I mentioned, how many Evos can you find on MLR plastered in graphics because of the rally heritage?

I've seen a few out there. Type in Lancer evo in google images. Plenty of evo's sporting graphics.

Im sorry but that car is bloody hideous !!! You'd have to be a complete bellend to even be seen in it let alone actually hand your money over for it.
I just don't understand the reasons to plaster a road car with graphics. On a race car its understandable because you want to promote sponsors or your business but on a road car, come on. The only reason is to attract attention, there really is no other reason because it looks sh1te. Some people like the attention, maybe they didn't get enough as a kid, or they are really ugly or maybe were unfortunately gifted a school boy sized pecker. But then again ive got a school boy sized pecker and dont feel the need to stick graphics all over my car :-)

Yea yea yea its his car and he can do as he likes **** that get written here but if anything its a bloody danger to other road users, id be in an uncontrollable fit of laughter if I came across it on the road !!
I have seen worse though, remove the pathetic stickers, roof thing, vents, lights, bumpers, side skirts and spoiler and it'd look ok.....lol.....

Its also maybe an intelligence thing, you wouldn't find a well educated chap with a decent background driving a shed like that.
Council estate and chequered school attendance record springs to mind...lol...

I like the colour but the lights and bumpers are a bit 90's

If anyone on here didn't like my decals etc I'd show them the finger. It's his and he can do what he likes. He doesn't give us a bad name that's already happened.

I've had the **** taken out of me for having black mudflaps with cerise STi logos on them by someone with a dark blue Audi with cream leather interior - complete with those ridiculous chrome lines all over every join on the external panels etc. Ugh.

Each to their own, some people reckon the classic Scooby look of bright Blue colour with good wheels is bad enough, personally I love it like I do a lime green Murcielago.

I started and run Subaru swap shop. How members on here can slag a page off without even owning a facebook account is beyond me. Just like on scoobynet you have lots of different and sometimes wrong opinions. Anybody worth there salt knows any mod on a scoob requires a map of some sort. the kind of people who don't know are usually young and new to the marque. if you read the whole posts theres plenty of people who tell the unitiated that you need mapping. and looking through peoples facebook profiles and singling out a six year old girl is a bit below the belt. and another note tubby tommy its a bit ironic you slag off the bright orange classic covered in dodgy stickers yet you sell.... dodgy sticker kits and fake vents lol

Thumbs down

Each to their own and whatever floats your boat. If the car makes the owner happy then that's all that matters.

So glad there are so many different scoobys around otherwise it would be so boring if they were all the same.

So it might not be your taste, so what. Is that any skin off your nose...Of course not!! So why slate an owners car so badly??

And I agree, if you're going to slate the car at least do it to their face. But you won't because you're basically one of those same old keyboard warriors on here with smaller bollox than a hamster.

FFS....Good old Scabbynet...Nothing changes does it. The usual suspects typing the usual rubbish. That's why i rarely come here.

Get a fekin life will you. Life is far too short to be really that bothered about a car to the point you have to slate the crap out of it. Go and find something more useful to do like......Picking up dog crap. Your one and only brain cell should just about cope with that

I have seen this car up close and personal yesterday and must admit it has a very good quality paint job. It's just a shame about the roof scoop the bumpers the lights and all the stickers. Oh and it's actually a 555 it still has the hatch for the 555 roof flap on the inside..

The only real grievance I have with the car is that some idiot has done it to a 555 if it was just a run of the mill T2000 or WRX then fair enough.

I spotted it yesterday and parked up next to it to get some pics they can be found in my for sale thread here https://www.scoobynet.com/subaru-444...i-380-bhp.html

The guy who owns the car is a member of NESF and he is a nice bloke he has owned a few imprezas now and fancied something different. I think he managed to do a great job of finding something different dont you ?

I thought it was a matter of time before this car got shown here.

What I don't get is he has facelift lights but a pre-facelift bonnet.

The sad thing is its not limited to Scoobynet. i've driven various vauxhalls for years and have seen the same sorta crap posted on different Vx related forums. Think the only one I can remember not seeing it was VXRonline.

I agree neil. seems to be the way of the internet these days. anything shown or mentioned different from the mainstream view and your going to get verballed a lot.

The funny thing is (especially on the corsa forums) that it seems to be a case of anythings fair game as long as it looks standard/oem. As soon as you start to modify the exterior away from anything factory fitted then people get ripped on.
