scoob fae ork Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 (edited) Hi guys am lookin for your opinions on wether i should de-badge the Scoob or not. Its somthing i've been thinking about for a bit but i cant make up my mind. Can you Guys help ??? Edited July 21, 2008 by Scoob Fae Ork
emoe Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 IN black? Deffo take the WRX and STI badge off!! I think the subaru in chrome looks nice on Black. Just my iopinion
oobster Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 Definitely de-badge - the whole shabang. Even de-lock if you can afford it. Nice clean uncluttered look.

oobster Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 Got mine de-locked by the local bodyshop - I don't know how they actually did it but I assume they welded a plate in the back of the panel then smoothed it over with filler before painting it. I got loads of other wee bits and pieces done at the same time so I'm unsure how much the de-lock part of the work cost.
emoe Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 John Joyce is the painter at my brothers workshop. he says to do your bootlid on a new car would only be roughtly £150 tops. Theres no need to blend on a new model and the sun hasnt bleached the colour yet. Weld in blanking plate and bondo, then prime and paint.
Flaps Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 Take off the SUBARU but leave the rest on. That's what i've done on my black WRX.
scouk Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 WEll I'm gonna be totally different and say keep it as it is... I'm not a fan of the whole debadging thing.. I drive a Subaru Impreza and very proud of it! WTF! woudl you want to take the badging off it liek a chaved up nova tryign to be somethign it's not! Impreza's are better than that! In fact I nearly managed to persuade my brother to remove the silly subary oval logo from the boot of his RB320 and put S U B A R U on it because IMHO it looks soooo much better... </rant mode off>
scoobysailor Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 I have just bought a badge to RE-BADGE mine, I think it looks better, but I seem to be in the minority here Here's some photoshopping I done on my last Scooby if it helps....

seafar99 Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 I'll give you same advice i gave Kate Moss......Get them off!

It does look good with the clean look but even then i think it needs somthing there i was thinking of just leaving the STI and WRX badges and removing the S U B A R U one as i do think its a bit over powering on the boot plus its a pain in the behind to clean around
oobster Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 My car as it is just now. Must remind myself every time I think about making a modification to my car that I would just be chaving it up.

I Have to say that looks damn sweet NOT Chavvy at all i actually think it makes it look more prestige IMO
bigbird Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 How hard is it to remove the badges from the back anyway????
Richie Cross Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 I like to see all the badges. Guess it's because I'm used to seeing Saxo's etc that have de-badged to hide the fact that they're actually only in a 1.1 or something! A bit off topic but I've recently seen a couple of Mercs with an AMG badge on the back when it was soooo blatantly NOT an AMG!! Why????!!!

Thats them just trying to hide the fact they cant afford the top o the range Merc
Richie Cross Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 One was the '4x4' type witht the AMG in totally different lettering

Its somthing i've been thinking about for a bit but i cant make up my mind. Can you Guys help ??? Thought about it myself but changed my mind. Keep them. In fact I nearly managed to persuade my brother to remove the silly subary oval logo from the boot of his RB320 and put S U B A R U on it because IMHO it looks soooo much better... When I was thinking of de-badging I wanted the oval star badge to replace the letters then found out the oval badge is attached with a pin so there must be a hole in the Hawkeyes boot. I'll give you same advice i gave Kate Moss......Get them off! Quality.

D'oh! Well if nothing else this thread just shows that everyone has different ideas of how their cars should look! Which is EXACTLY how it should be!
bigbev Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 Well the company car I drive is a de badged Volvo 56 plate T5R and yes I it was delivered that way. Tayside Police have the exact same car as well as they picked it up the same time as myself... My Scoob is an MY98 WR Sport with all the associated WR sport and Prodrive badges so i guess i prefer it that way as nobody seems to recognise the car without the badge. I guess that makes me a car Snob in some peoples book
colzo Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 Have a look on the NASIOC site, they seem to like the 'clean' look over in the States.
