Default Saw a Blobeye for sale..

Driving past a garage near me and saw a Blobeye in the window.
I think it is quite, erm, different.

What do you guys think?

It's not completely terrible. Different wheels and lose the bonnet catches, foglight covers and I think it would look good.

It has something, what's the price? I love how they say massive spec, then list things like colour coded bumpers 😂

It’s also completely wrong. There’s no driver airbag on that wheel, STI seats don’t have side airbags and that stereo almost certainly doesn’t have a CD or cassette player. That was just what immediately popped out at me but as soon as they get very basic things like that wrong it casts a doubt on anything they might say about the car.

Get some nicer wheels on there and I might not hate it.

I am trying to work out where the money has been spent on this car.
Looking at the front mount, that thing has to pushing out more than 221BHP.
Bodykit, arches etc won't have been cheap.

Crappy Subaru four pots and ditchfinder tyres.
Grooved discs on the back, but not on the front?

At least it doesn't have STi badges.

Those arches are hard to get right , might not look as good (term used loosely) in person . looks like a sheep in wolfs clothing imo

It's not as bad as some I've seen but not my cup of tea!
I always wonder why people spend so much money making an impreza look like this?? I bet it drives horrible with those wide wheels too.
I always felt that owning an impreza is about the driving experience, not the show and shine.

A lot of doe has been spent on that wrx blobeye and I can only guess that it was someone’s pride and joy. He or she was probably smiling like a Cheshire Cat driving around in that thing
