I`ve just got the same ones, except for a gold swoosh. Really easy to fit. Took about an hour in total.
Only bad thing was found a big nail in a tyre.

with the wheel on full lock it was fairly easy to fit them. 2 of the original arch plastic plugs are replaced with new ones provided and a self tapper or 2 are a litle tricky. a 2mm drill is required for these and as i have pff7 alloys i could squeeze my hand through the alloy to assist the drill and fix the screws. it would have been easier to take the front alloys off but im lazy.
well worth the money imo

I bought mine from Scoobyworld.

Have to say I think it has to be the best buy I have made for the car. I don't go into work now with mud or grime on my trousers and the misses hasn't moaned about her boots or legs getting dirty since.

If your car is WR Blue mate I'd go for the blue ones.

Another vote here for the Scooby-world ones off e-bay and they've been on for about a year now and still look great, since these photos i've added little Prodrive decals on each one.

I have the Scoobyclinic ones fitted to my STi RA.

As the car is white I went for black flaps (no logos).

A quality product - can't remember how much I paid for them (will find invoice later if you want)?

Nice 1 mate

Am I right in thinking they only hold on with the black clips and the screws?? Ant the bolts just hold the flaps to the brackets???

I want to get mine fitted!

Yeah, how long did they take to fit? Easy job? Drill needed or not?
Anyone got any pictures of a newage WRX (preferably black) with flaps? I've not seen a Scoob with the low spoiler and mudflaps yet.

These aee on my STI type RA, took ages to track down the original ones, worth the wait and money. Believe the impreza looks meaner and wider with them on.
Not the best pics.............

PC creations for me. Easy to fit just attach the flap to the bracket and then its just a case of plastic plugs into the bumper and 2 front and 1 rear self tap screws into the wheel arch. Definitely remove the wheels you will save more time giving yourself the extra room to drill into the arch. Before screwing the bracket into the arch put a bit of silicone sealant into the hole to prevent any possible damp getting into the fresh metal. Appart from that piece of Pi55. Just take your time to get them straight. I spray painted my brackets and fitments to match and you can see they are black. Happy flaping.

Dirty flaps but you get the idea.
