I did mate, when it arrived, and before I had it sprayed thankfully, the garage gave it a dry fitting run and it was a very bad fit.. In all fairness to them I told them this, sent it back to them properly packaged and got a full refund..

Interesting mate, got the same deal going on. Gonna have a look at it at the bodyshop sarvo myself i'm sure if it is a bad fit they'll honour a refund as they did for you.

I take it the scoobyworld/DR ones are a good simple fit no probs then?

Quality Wise it wasn't great either.. quite heavy and with a few bits that wern't very smooth.. The bolts provided wouldn't have been adequate to attach it to the boot too.. But as I said I didn't have any trouble.. Fingers crossed for you, I shouldn't think it'll be a problem.. I got mine of a bloke who wrapped up his car on one of our runs thru Wales..

Well you cant get better than an original, but they are rare, expensive and harder to fit. Hence I just bought an STi 5

Now sold.

Just to update, spoke to Amber they have agreed to take back the spoiler for a full refund so cant say fairer than that. I think they're prob right i'm just too fussy, cant knock they're service tho good boys .

So to repeat myself, do the DR/scoobyworld spoilers fit no hassle and are they good quality? Also do they need the two bolts in the centre as well as the existing bolts at the end?

You ain't being fussy mate.. if it didn't fit, then it didn't fit.. end of..! Glad you got the result though..
