I rang TSL this am, they said they will be with us today..

 

alanjack - good point i spose, but watching people who fit things for a living fettleing the holes and showing me how they apply pressure to this and that piece when fitting as well as undestanding my need to be able to possibly take the unit off the car when I sell it so explaining how to do that... id say they did a good job of fitting it as it looks good and is sat nicely on the car. The cup of tea and good banter helped as well... :-)

Jon.

 

Finally got the car back today. Not the most efficient service but great job! Hey, you can't have everything.
Have got some before/after pics but do not know how to upload them, so if you want to see them somebody will have to tell me.
Any way I think it looks "the nuts" so am well chuffed, hope you guys are too.

 

I promised I would put up some pics of mine...





Jon.

 

Jon did you fix it on yourself or get a bodyshop to do it?

 

Looks smart Jon, how about some shots of the whole car?

Andrew.

 

need shots of whole car but so far its mega shiny, did you polish it or is that how you got it from tsl?

 

cheers andt2000, I'll have a crack at it later.

 

Ok, so far we have:

I am selling mine.( just prefer the Prodrive one ). Paint and finish from TSL is superb see pic above same paint code as mine (95H). Cost 460.00 as part of the group buy - sensible offers please..

 

you're selling it? the prodrive one is like £800 isnt it? I think STI V is better, anyway, your choice.

 

All being well I'll collect my car this week, there was a slight delay with the wheels, then I'll get some pics up.

Rasher, wtf! , as above it's your choice, go with what makes you happy

Is this the most number of views for a thread in the styling forum?, lets keep it going

 

Rasher,

Shame, my colour code is 52D, 1999 DBM. I take it 95H is the 2000 Blue?

Otherwise I would have put in an offer!!

 

mine was a piece of **** to fit and looks great my paint shop only charged a ton to paint it in a excellent finish so im all quids in for the next mod (hiper i think needs something this big to keep in with the size of the spoiler)ps if any one has a hiper or similar for sale give me a line.

 

a hiper?

 

The reason I might be selling is because I was led to believe that you could use the existing OE bolts which I can't and you probably need to drill extra holes in the boot because of the weight etc of the STI spoiler which I do not want to do. The Prodrive one only needs you to use the existing OE bolts and holes.
That is why I have asked people on this thread about the DIY fixings and any problems they have encountered in doing this..but as yet I have not had any replies..

 

will this actually work!?


if it does hope you like them.

 

sorry about the size!

 

Sorry been away... yes i had my spoiler done by TSL... painted and fitted.

Jon.

 

Looks excellent dr. a, you seem to have added some other bits as well?

 

you've painted all the bits I wanted to paint but he didnt have the time! do you mind me asking whats the going rate for painting skirts, mirrors, handles, rear corner plastic things etc?

 

uhf=hiper as in hks hiper exhaust

 

UHF,

I got all my mirrows, rear skirts, side skirts etc painted in DBM for around £120 from my local bodyshop. Subaru were wanting to charge £260+vat!!

Now a year later, not a complaint, looks as good as new. Just try out various places for quotes.

Rasher, is your spoiler still for sale? I was thinking even it was painted in the wrong colour for my car, could I get it re-painted??

Also how is the spoiler fitted to the car. The standard one has 2 bolts each side, yes? Does the spoiler use these existing ones? Do you need to drill any more holes in the boot?

JonW, how is your spoiler fitted, seeing that you had it done at TSL?

 

The spoiler does use existing holes, you should then pad the middle bit along the bottom to save vibration.

BTW, my bodyshop wants £300 for rear corner bits, mirrors, side skirts and handles, sounds a bit steep now but the job he does is absolutely A1! Maybe i'll shop around.

 

300 notes sounds more like the money I paid although I don't know for sure as I had all the other bits and pieces done at the same time.

 

did he do your spoiler in with that deal, my spoiler was £130 seperate!

 

No, the spoilers were on top of that unfortunately.

 

weird really, some bodyshops are half the price of others, weird! ours are obviously twice the price

 

UHF,
What did you use to pad the middle of the spoiler? Did you ONLY use the existing bolts and no addidtional ones?

 

I didnt do it but my bodyshop used adhesive sticky stuff to pad the middle and its secure, one down side is that they told me it would be removeable and it isnt!, like you I probably wouldnt have put it on if i'd known this before he did it, but he said i'd beable to take it off, i dont think that the spoiler comes with adequate padding to just reuse the existing bolt holes as it leaves a large expanse across the middle un supported.
