Rear bumper looks sweet Wiley.

Doesn't seem to match with the boxy shape skirts though, any plans to get rid?

Have to say the STi lights looked better on your car than the morettes.Blobeye rear is tons better, but from the last pic doesn't seem to match up well against the skirts though, so get some spats

Might take the whole kit off, and go back standard. But it looks better in the flesh and doesn't seem out of place. The sti lights do look nice but the morettes are growing on me.

Rear end loks better, and the morettes are better suited to your car I think.

It makes sense as it's the only thing letting you car down imo.

Blobeye rear conversion I think you should get rid of the kit too as I prefer to oem look but if you keep the kit the bumper does need some spats. Prefer the STi headlights too buddy, best bug headlights imho.

I've oredered some chargespeed brake ducts to go where the fog lights used to be. Simon's car look better in the flesh, he's also going back to all blue front which will look better imo

Looking good mate, did you not think about keeping one of each light just to be different

All you need now is some plain black standard WRX sideskirts to finish it off. I'll put myself out and swap with you

I prefer the blobeye twisty ones, standard on the STi's weren't they? I drew a blob Sti with them on, and they do look the "nuts" (pardon the pun).

Straight swap are they onto a bugeye?

Yes they are a straight swap, I believe all the newage skirts are inter-changeable

Sweet looking bugs!!

Had morrettes in mine a few years back, but longed for the sti ones lol, They look good in the blue, maybe it was just the silver they didnt suit!

I'm thinking of doing that same rear end as you! got the lights and the sti 9 bumper, just deciding if I need something at the sides hmmm......

So many changes lol

You need the rear spats that I have, they're designed for a blob bumper, I just adapted them for the bug

Check out ebay for them, mine are Kakumei, but I've seen others cheaper these days

Sorry dude's i'm going to put a spoiler on things, prefered the rear as before. I like the charge speed kit on the Bug, makes it look meaty and abit different.

The morrettes do suit the kit/car, but i do think you go back with the chargespeed rear bumper and some 9.5J rims with coilovers it would look the nads
