cheers for the comments, do you think the price is reasonable for OE???Is this comparable with what anyone else has paid for OE??

The thing with OE covers is getting hold of them second hand. They were only fitted to STI cars, after all.

When I sold my old MY98 covers I only got £60.00 for them.

Have to agree though, I am very happy ith my £25 covers. £35 if you include the stickers.

 

oak, these ones say OE on the price list £62 Delivered and the spoiler £230 delivered. cheers

 

thanks fundi, i've passed your mail on to my mate, he's seen mine from you, but he wants the plastic ones how are you getting on with the badges for the front grills, if you can do them for £17 i'll defo have one. Oak

 

Fundimental, i assume the spoiler in the pic is the one for £230 Delivered, have you got any more pics, send me your details again, i want one.

 

any update on the £25 MY99 covers with the brackets yet?

 

not yet paul, i've given the original to a place and am just waiting but its such a small job they say they can only do it when they've got some free time. just got to wait for now

 

no probs mate no hurry here.

 

My old covers,('original STI' but shape as above!), had a large bracket behind.

Basically a flat triangular plate that bolted to the three foglight holes with three unequal length flat (approx 10mmx2mm) legs coming off.

The ends of the legs had Right angled bends into which was tapped a 5mm thread. It was to these holes that the covers bolted (Stainless screw headed)

The orignal MY99 type covers (facelift) fit by two plastic molded in lugs to the top of the bumper and a single 5mm bolt in the lower outside corner. This is bolted to a single legged short bracket which itself is bolted to one fog light bolt.

I replicated the above MY99 bracket on my copy covers but I have seen someone bolth theirs down with a single 75mm long 5mm bolt into the foglight hole. You obviously need to be more careful lining up that hole.

I mananged to order one too many Pink STI/Black writing stickers (thought the price was each!) however they are only £10 inc postage (7+3p&p) new.

Derek, (Fundimental)

It was me who bought those self same covers and brackets so ill take some pictures and a drawing today and email them to yourself and anyone else?? who is interested.

I didnt use the bottom bracket, preferring to replicate the screw of the original STI cover as I saw it on Megastream's RA. So Ill put the spare in the post to you as well to make copies easier.

Can't be fairer than that!

And YES, they do fit over the top of the original covers if you want and can be removed quite quickly, if you want.

I was just quoted 182.00 for covers for my MY00. This includes painting, STI stickers and fitting kit.(they are OE though)
What do you think?? No drilling required either..
