Here are mine which turned up today



Just need some brackets now

Steve

 

Where do you get the brackets from? does anyone know?

 

Those look like the ones I got for my new bumper, but mine were plastic and came with the clips.

They are nothing special and could be made using bits of folded metal. Ill take some dimensions and photos when they come back from the spray shop.

Incidentally, the original items only have tabs at the top, the lower edge looks to be held in by one 3inch long bolt through to the foglight mount.

Im selling my old ones to cover the cost of the replacements, if anyone is interested. Open to offers..

Right I've got my spot light covers from Derek at etsracing, but how the **** do I fit them to my car, if your answer is clips then please enclose a piccy or some info that I can use, to make some.

Sparky,

I only used the two top clips from mine as I wanted to have a screw in the lower corner like the real ones.

To do this I made up a little bracket and drilled a hole for a stainless self tapper to go through. It looks pretty factory for it.

Anyway, I only need to keep one clip as a spare if you wanted one to copy. Email me your address and Ill post it to you.

Alternatively, you can come down to Kent and see how I did it at the weekend.

 

Hol

do you have a pic of the bracket & Clip ?

 

Sonic,

I can do one at the weekend, and maybe even a 'scanned' scaled up drawing.

Be nice to finally use that Technical Drawing skill from School.

Now if only I can find a practical use for calculus

 

Here are the OEM STI brackets for the pre-facelifted bumper.
Note To fit lamps aswell, these brackets will need to be modifyed!!



Iain.

 

can you get OE STI driving lamp covers that will fit a UK MY00 without drilling etc???

 

just looked on mrt site all you seem to get is nuts and bolts, i've mailed fundi and he says if anyone can get sorted what is needed if its just longer nuts and bolts or brackets and can give him sizes, he will supply fittings in future and for anyone who has still not managed to fit them who has bought them from him,
mrts are $95

 

sorry everyones having trouble, these are the plastic covers i had, showing the original brackets, i am having some stainless steel brackets made, everyone whos bought these kind from me and wants some, mail me and when i've got them i'll send you some, has anyone bought classic shape covers from anywhere else and can give sizes for brackets,
some one bought some classic covers from me and used longer bolts with nylon spacers, is this the way to go. i don't own a subaru so i can't make them on a car, need help

 

those brackets look tiny, i can't believe its got so many people stumped. do you guys have trouble getting the petrol cap off when you go to the petrol station

only joking.

 

do you have a close up on the brackets, you can't really make them out from that.


Cheers

so do the MY99 covers fit over the fogs without having to remove them?

 

and can i buy the grp ones with brackets and stickers, how much in total? already got one crack on my fogs so this might be a good idea!!

 

sparky, sorry i can't take a close up of the brackets as i've sold the covers,
Paul i'm not sure if the covers fit over the fogs, when i've got the brackets i'll put a picture on here and you can see them, do these covers look good with stickers on? i don't have any stickers for sale so its just the covers for £25 Delivered

 

ok mate, does the £25 include brackets? I might drill a hole in the corner and use a security bolt aswell to stop any thieving b******* taking them off!

The stickers can be bought here for £7 you can choose the colour, dunno if post is extra.

 

Oh, yeah. I washed the car yesterday, so ill take some pics of Fundamentals covers on the car.

They do look good.

 

mmmm!!! I just bought a pair of covers from a company called Jap Innovations and when I ordered them they told me that I just needed to undo the screws on the fog lights place the covers and fix again with the original screws. However when they arrived this is clearly not possible without brackets/fixings of some sort - I have e-mailed them and left a message on their answerphone - so will post here when they advise what I have to do!!

They use the same pic as the one in this thread from MRT - indeed they are suppliers of MRT stuff - so I guess they are the MRT covers. Several times the price charged by Derek though!!
So am assuming that they must supply the fixings as well just forgot to put them in the package - as they also forgot to tell me the total they are charging me or put a credit card receipt in the box.

 

Hol

I wouldnt mind a pic too, of the fixings, as I have Dereks covers, and now they are all sprayed up they look the dogs bol**x

getting frustrated that I cant fit them to my car !!

could you post here or email as per profile

Cheers

Steve

 

Right here is a pic of Dereks covers on the front of my car this morning.

It was raining so I didnt hand about



And here are the dimensions of the brackets.
You dont need to replicate the exotic shape, just use a L shped but of metal that ends in the same place - In relation to the rivet hole.



Derek,
Im putting the original bracket in the post to you.

 

hol i've managed to get hold of an original bracket, i'm having some made, i think the way you've done it putting the screw in the bottom of the cover is a lot better. good drawings
gavin g put this topic on for classic shape covers, anyone got sizes for the brackets for those.

 

fundimental - are you contemplating making replicas of the original STi bracket for the early models - if so - you have an interested customer!!

 

fundimental can you get anything other than light covers, whats your price on a back spoiler or anything else, if your as cheap as your covers let me know i need spoiler and front bumper.

 

Unfortunately, I sold my early brackets with the covers and they now reside in Ireland. I do remember what they look like though if you wanted one of my 'nonkey' sketches.

 

Would like a sketch Hol, if it's not too much hassle.


Cheers




Sparky

 

what do you all think good value or not????

 

Sparky,

I'll scan and email it to you over the weekend.

 

hello anyone there??????????

 

Rasher, i think if you want O/E and you don't mind spending the money then you got a good deal as long as your happy with it, i wouldn't pay that much for light covers as i would need the money for tyres or any or parts that need replacing, so for me the £25 light covers are ideal, i can look the part on my limited budget.
