Hi guys!

Just some pics of my beloved bug, from start to how she sits now. I will update it as the mods come along

Here she is the day I bought her

noturbo

Full afterburner vortex fitted!

noturbo

New 18's fitted

noturbo

New rear lights fitted, I wasn't sure about these till I fitted them but now I love them

noturbo

New sti spoiler fitted, love this At first though it kept catching the corner of my eye as I looked round and thought I was about to be rammed by a big silver car haha

noturbo

And my 1st free mod(wish I could have more of those lol) Debadged the boot and removed the S U B A R U badges. I like the cleaner look but some may not like it

noturbo

I've also had the following performance mods:

- vf43 turbo
- sti pink injectors
- sti top mount intercooler
- walbro fuel pump
- green panel filter
- full decat and vortex back box
- remap

Now next up is a much needed set of brakes lol, and visually I want crystal side markers and side repeaters. Also a set of black mud flaps with "wrx" written in white.

Then maybe a carbon front splitter and some eibach springs?

Any comments or suggestions welcome

Looks good mate, not a fan of the rear lights but I've seen worse

Colour code the sideskirts, or get some STI ones

Progressing nicely mate, as Jon said colour code the skirts and maybe lower it a bit.

noturbo

Yeah I wasn't sure at first but they look pretty good in the flesh, look good against the wheels.

And yeah the sideskirts will be getting colour coded when the splitter goes on. Anyone know of any good quality splitters? I've heard the htautos ones are a little flimsy?

There are loads of different types / designes of splitter for the bug, you need to find one you like the look of ..........Jura posted a selection of about 10 of them a while back. I'll have a look later

The HT Autos one are fine if fitted properly, they're flexible so will handle scuffing against kerbs and speed bumps. Mine's fine after a couple of years and is getting a coat of paint during the respray but only to tidy it up

The HT Autos splitter is made of plastics not fibre glass so will flex more but that's not always a bad thing. Alot of people have them fitted and they do look the part. I have an OEM front splitter that was part of a kit Subaru made for the bugeye.

As Myles said there are loads of different ones just depends how aggressive you want it to look

noturbo

Yeah colourcoding is coming soon Eibachs to come later.....
Cool thanks
Ah yeah never thought of that, good to hear some 1st hand experience of them

noturbo

Also..... Any recomendations on a brake upgrade? The standard afairs were ok for the standard bhp, but now i'm pushing 350hp+ and 380lb tourque there just down right scary lol

Either an STI set-up or k-sports, although for cost effectiveness I've found the k-sports with Bluestuff NDX pads up front with STI rears seems to be a good compromise (although it's not much more to put k-sports rears on too)

noturbo

Yeah I was checking those out on scoobyworld the other day, is that what you have on yours? You got any pics close up so I can see how big they look behind the rims? Stupid I know but looks are important to me too, not as much as performance obv but still..... ya want cool lookin brakes if you're spending that much

I've still got the standard WRX set-up at the moment, k-sports will be happening after the clutch has been done
