No offence but it just looks takky, if you have a real vent show it off.

Colour code the mini scoop on the bonnet and will make a BIG difference.

Easily fixed but as it stands you've ruined it for 90% of classic lovers and a 555

I can't believe you put a fake roof scoop over a genuine flap

I know it's your car but I don't like the little bonnet scoop, roof scoop, grill or splitter The wheels look great though but I can't help but think I preferred it before

if it was a uk 2000 or wrx then not a bad try, but as a 555 its a fail
i would love a standard looking 555, but on a plus note nice wheel

Another option for you (which I`m doing), is to get a spare front bumper and rear bootlid and paint up to match the car, then you can chop and change the look. Make it standard for all the "It`s a 555 so you`ve ruined it" people and yourself will be happy.

But either way that scoop on the roof HAS to go (imho), either by yourself, or the wind ripping it off at speed.

I made the mistake of putting a nasty splitter on the front of mine,was quickly ripped off a stu 555's should stay as they come out the box,Even a bit of paint faid dont ruin the look!
best of all classics in my eyes,realy miss the old girl

Wouldn`t quite go that far, not as if it can`t be changed, or if its been botched into a 22b replica.
