Hi Megabusa,
Any updates on the fixings / delivery?
If they're the same size plastic nuts as no. plate (M6 thread) I've got a set spare but don't know what colour you're supplying - don't want orange nuts
on blue bodywork

Megabusa,
Well done with what you doing for every one. Quality looks great. I paid through the nose for mine...but had no choice with a brand new car and out-laws that live 2 miles up a farm road. I would probably take a blue set if you do the 555 logo and know of two other blue Sti7's that don't use Scoobynet, but would be interested as well I'm sure.
I have the SWRT logo on mine right now. I would suggest that people fit the large front mud flap, without cutting them down, to give max protection.
I started with both front and rear at the low settings, but soon moved them to the high setting, keeping them the same. Then decided to lower the back ones to the low setting and was much happier with this set up. I think they look better on the low setting and this gives the car that aggressive rally look from the rear and from the side. However, if you have the front ones on the low setting, they will bottom out as you corner, even without pushing on hard. With the front ones on the high setting I still get them touching plenty on the back roads when out playing hard, but nothing that’s a real problem, so to speak. By the way, drilling the holes inside the front wheel arch is no big deal, incase your customers are worried. After drilling the holes get plenty of silicon in and around the self-tapers as you fit them and you’ll have no probs.

I've sent them out to everyone who has ordered/paid for them. Please let me know when you get them (within a few days).
I have run out of stock of blue, but shall re-order very soon. If anyone wants blue let me know ASAP so I know roughly how many I need.
Black are still in stock (well, a few anyway!)
Thanks,
Scott.

It has been brought to my attention that I have incorrectly packaged some of the rear 'J' shaped bracket, supplying two of the same instead of RH and LH ones. If anyone has received such then please email me ASAP and tell me which one you need, I can then post the correct one to you. Please accept my apologies if this is the case.

Fitted them today.
Took me a couple of hours.
I had the bracket problem you talked about, but just drilled the holes in the other places.
A couple of things though,
I take it the clips with the nuts built in go on the rear panels and not the front?
Also you say no drilling required on the rear, but i found there was not a hole for the small bracket to screw into, just measured it up though and drilled one.
Other than that they look great.
Cheers,
Dave.

Glad you got them on, the plastic C-nuts are for the front flaps, so as not to scratch the metal wing. Regarding the rear holes, there is a plastic clip through a hole, I thought the bracket bolted to this hole??
