It's a Scooby but it's green and it doesn't have a spoiler

After the merest glimmer of encouragement on the REAR END thread I thought I'd post some more pics of my car and double my post count








Nurburgring






Spa

Nice scooby, good colour too!

[TCEvo]

Looks cool mate, don't see many minus wings. Good colour combo too.

[TVR MAN]

Why did you remove the rear wing?

What he said.

after the overdose of ProDrive and STI stuff that gets superglued onto every scooby that i see these days from a 1.6 upwards.... the de-blinged look, especially on descrete green, is very refreshing.


It also looks very understated cool .

Just how much benefit does the wing give to the scooby for meer mortals anyway, even on regular UK track use where you ar enot likely to get much above the ton anyway.

[baSkey]

yep - very nice.

'back to the old skool!'

the japanese have been de spoilering for a bit now haven't they?
i like the wheels too.

if i ever do the impreza thing it'll probably be a forester but if it were an impreza proper this is the sort of thing i'd like to create. i reckon the post boggleeye would respond well to this de-kitting.

what i quite like is when you get the skirts and everything from the full house STI kit but without the gigantor wing.. on a dark green or dark blue i reckon that's look cool too...

Took it off because I didn't like it and being a WRX it was a low level one that I doubt did anything even at 100 mph . TBH I haven't noticed it's absence on track .


Wheels are Atec Ultralights






I've got some stock ones that are being powder coated gloss black for the road tyres

Forester STI ......

Nice tidy Impreza there







Now go and get it dirty!

Fair Enough. I too am not a fan of the aesthetics of the standard WRX wing.

[matt540]

love the wheels and the first nurburg pic

[Rob_F]

Looks brilliant, i wouldn't mind a scooby next and that's exactly the sort of route i'd take. Never thought i'd like green either but it really works, and lovely wheels.

Took a while but ..... dirty enough for you ?

[GravelBen]

Its an improvement , for some reason IMO Subarus always look more 'right' when they're dirty,shows they've been used as intended.

[Connor_scotland]

wow mate thats lovely

Looks waaaaay better without the rear wing

I know what you mean .... was rather sad having to wash it , but it was that or wash my 3 year old son every time he got in or out of the car

The grime was the result of 3200 miles in 8 days doing lots of this ....
