I need new clips for my classic scuttle panel, anyone know where I can get them before I have to pay Subaru prices

 

Mine came from import car parts years ago

 

ive asked them joe, no joy.. they don't stock them they say

 

If you are after the "T" shaped clips then I wish you the best of luck. They are like Unicorn sh*t as I found out 18 months ago.

I would suggest an alternative of the same size from eBay - search for Subaru Trim Clips.

 

ive been onto a company who can get me the 9 T shaped clips and the 3 main clips that hold the scuttle in place but they want £32

can you remember what you used instead of the T shaped clips mate

 

cant seem to find the part number on opposed forces. any help?

£32 is a **** take for a few little clips

 

You could try this guy...

Have you tried cross reference/ see if any other marque looks the same / - also have you contacted the breakers on here / they must have bucket loads

 

I got some from the local car accessory shop but not sure which car they were for but the shop had boxes of various clips to choose from and i got some similar to the subaru ones and they did the job.

Could you not go to a scrap yard and pull some off front bumpers and arch liners from other cars??
Don't all manufacturers use the same kind of design clips??

A couple of the white door card clips snapped on me, ripped a door card off a Citroen at a scrappers and bobs your uncle, cost couple of quid.

 

Jesus Christ!!!

At those prices it's worth my time clearing all scrap yards of clips and starting an eBay business.

 

Unless I'm missing something, those prices are NOT per clip.

As a test, I put one pack of 10 of the 'boot carpet' clips into the basket, and the total cost is the £2.49 as stated (and not £24.90).


In fact, I think I'll buy them, as I'm sure at least one of mine is missing!

 

The "T" clips are item 3

If you cant afford £2.49 for 10 you shouldn't have an Impreza

 

That's why I own a rover 25 stickered up to the max, we all know it's faster off the line than an sti.

 

But that is not the correct type that are being asked for in the OP.

 

ive found a shop on ebay that sell OEM clips and they have the ones I need including the T shaped clips so if anyone needs any give me a shout and ill pass on the details.

ive ordered, the 9 T shaped I need for the seal and I need the 3 main clips for holding the scuttle in place but I ordered 5

all in all they came to £18 delivered

 

As per OP's Part code references..................

 

I've got loads of them but not original. Why you need original?

 

I'm sorted now as ive said

 

Take care when fitting the 3 scuttle clips.

 

I know but why did you need original?

 

well I orderd my clips late yesterday afternoon and they have arrived today.. great service.. the ebay shop is part of Subaru uk ive just found out

Out of curiosity why are you fitting new clips.
