That looks great . Some fantastic upgrades on this car. A real credit to you.

 

Cheers mick.

Do you ever miss yours?? That was a lovely machine

 

Hi Rob,
willing to the same at my baby.

I've stocked all what's needed apart from :

MUDGUARD LINERs
and
Cover washer headlight

are we sure the washer motorized assembly is fitting the new bumper without modification?

Now I assume washer covers are mandatory (as the shape in that particular area tend to change) , but, the mudguards really are??

I cannot see how the stock one cannot be adapted as eventually a very small part of those comes at the interface of the new bumper.....


thank you for your help!!!!

 

The washer mechanism for the headlamps remain un touched as the 08 ones transfer. the washer covers need to be changed as the shape of the 2012 bumper is different, Also I fitted the arch liners as I'm a firm believer of doing the job properly instead of trying to make the old ones work.

 

Rob thank you! I'm sure you did the job properly and I agree with you ! However I will try to adapt the arch liners as I also don't fit the bottom engine cover due to heat reasons. I'll let you know the outcome.
I just want to add a detail In case one has the foglights installed on 2008 like I do.
halogen foglights are the same what changes is the brakets

Guys just want to share the outcome of the facelift without replacing arch liners. All went smooth. have to say my car doesn't fit plastic bottom cover due to the fact that I want to keep it cool therefore not sure you can make direct swap as well if you want to fit this as well...

 

My bottom cover fit ok with the facelift & also with the proper arch liners. they can fit without but I'd rather they fit as per OE spec

 

I luv hatchback scooby's...I've got one myself and love them

 

I'm about to do the same conversion on mine, any idea on where I can get the LH/RH air inducts for the bumper and tow eye cap?

 

We're did you get the bumper and bits from I want to do my

 

I work for a Subaru dealer, So I ordered them through our parts dept

 

Don, here is a challenge for you, see if you can convert the part numbers below so that the parts are either WR Blue 02C or they are generic black ready to paint as i think those parts below are mainly white parts as his car was white and i don't have a bumper parts diagramme fpr a 2011 facelift bumper, it's just the fog covers, tow hook cover and the washer covers.

59110FG040 MUDGUARD LINER FRHS
59110FG050 MUDGUARD LINER FLHS
86636FG140WU COVER ASSY-LAMP WASHER

 

Parts Paint code suffix for 02C is PG so becomes 57731FG310PG; non painted or primer finish is NN


The Fog covers listed above are the blank covers.



If you want to use foglights the covers are RH 57731FG290PG; LH 57731FG300PG

 

Don, superb as always,

I think i'm favouring the blank covers with black vents over the stock fog light ones as it's more of an aggressive look and i never use front foglights anyway.
