  1. Was just wondering if anyone had added the smaller facelift style side vents from a classic bonnet on a blobeye bonnet? My head is full of ideas for modding my car but the wallet is empty for actually doing it lol. Just wondering if anyone had done this before or have any pics of someone else who had done it. Cheers
  2. Came across some pics of my old Impreza and was wondering what happened to it. I changed car in 2009 and believe the guy that got mine was from Ayrshire area, possibly Galston. Just wondering what happened to it as it needed some work due to a minor bump at the time. I loved and cherished that car so would really like to know if its still on the road or even still about. Reg started R982 ***
  3. Just imagine how imposing the ambulance looks in your rear view mirror. Yet for some reason some people still fail to see it even when it is lit up like a Christmas tree.
  4. yep engine size makes a difference. CO2 for 1.8 is 196g for 1.6 is 185g and for 1.4 is 156g so big difference mate.
  5. In two of them I am legally allowed to go a little over the speed limit and pass through red lights, but the other still puts a bigger smile on my face when I drive it
  6. Gave my car a wash at work before starting my shift last night then parked it up, I didnt realise how low down the Impreza looked until parked beside these two vehicles. Sorry about the poor quality pic, its was taken with my phone.
  7. Took my car for its MOT on Thursday. I had a voucher for money off an MOT at Kwik Fit. So though I would take it there and treat it like a pre-MOT check over and then get it MOT'd elsewhere as Kwik Fit are notorious for ripping you off. Right enough car failed on. Headlight allignment, a number plate bulb out and emmisions where too high Also had a couple of advisories, one being a slight blow in exhaust. The tester turned round after test and said to give him 5 mins. He sorted the headlight, stuck a new bulb in number plate light and then sorted the blow in exhaust which in turn lowered emmisions and resulted in a pass for the car. And the best thing was all in I paid £25, thats including the cost of the MOT. Just shows even Kwik Fit have some really nice guys working for them. Thumbs up to Mr Scott (MOT Tester) Cheers mate.
  8. Was it this one? Matt black Impreza on Ebay
  9. Sorry mate was identical to yours, even had the roof scoop and camera. Didnt see the reggy plate as i passed it at too high a speed to see.
  10. Seen more Scoobies out and about today than I've seen in a long time. Seen Badbaz twice, once in Cambusnethan and once in Wishaw General carpark. Also seen two silver newages, one with all the red rally stickers (see this almost daily) and a plain silver one with low level spoiler. Then in Coatbridge seen two classics one blue, who I got a wave off and a dark kind of burnt orangey one, who was passed me before I noticed it.
  11. Anyone ever sent an exhaust or large parts abroad? I am selling my old Vortex exhaust and have someone in Czech Republic interested in it. So was wondering what the best company to send it with was. Cheers
  12. Spotted today outside Wishaw general. First I've seen in this colour combination. Looked good. Just wondering if it was anyone on here.
  13. Excellent, thats exactly what I was wanting to hear.
  14. I'm planning on buying bobbyc's old exhaust backbox. His car was a GB340 hawkeye (as you prob all know) and mine is an MY03 blobeye. Looking at the pics of his old backbox and after having a look at mine was just wondering if the backbox is a straight swap onto mine. Anyone know for sure? Cheers
  15. Well I've had my Impreza for a whole 10 days and some muppet has just scratched my front bumper, Theres a few scratches like someone has dragged something along it (not heavy or deep enough to have been a car) and some of them are down to the white. Bloody raging at the inconsiderate people in this place.
  16. Wrap it, IMO would spoil the look of the car if left black.
  17. This is only pic i have of rear at mo if it helps any.
  18. I love the sound of the boxer engine but my new Impreza is a bit too loud for my liking. Is there any waqy of reducing the noise without changing the exhaust or it is a case of buying a new one. I havent had a look underneath yet so not sure what my exhaust consists of.
  19. Well picked this up this morning. Been having fun driving it around. Love having a scooby again.
  20. Lol, didnt think it looked too bad
  21. Spotted a silver new style saloon in Airdrie twice today, first of these I've seen. Anyone on here?
  22. Aye mate used to be Kennedy Cars, Now just a holding yard for Sherwood Car Sales. How do I go about detangoing the front?
  23. Cheers guys, good to be back in the fold. The wheels unfortunatley wont be staying gold, They are only a few months old but they were dipped and the gold paint is flaking off really bad, they are gonna be refurbed before I pick it up and will just be standard silver.
