Default Lower Grille 55 WRX

Hi

Had my 55 WRX Euro import wagon since friday and love it (apart from the fuel usage, around 75 miles a quarter tank

Anyway i need a few (little) things, a lower front grille, headlight protectors + a set of carpets.

any suggestions, cos from subaru i'm looking at £225+fitting, £37.49 + £59.99

and i've totally skinted myself out what with trackers/cat 1/ insurance, not to mention buying the car!

Cheers

For Car Mats, I just had some mats from http://carmats4u.com/ they came through last week, and are very nice. You can design them how you want them.

I had Black, with a Black Healpad, and Black/Silver Stitching.

Worked out about £47

300 miles before filling up, those were the days. If your skint now, bejesus your in for a fun few months.

so far, my scooby ownership combined with a mithering bird has almost turned me into a financial spastic. Amongst the things you will have to do over the coming months are:
  • Cancel Xmas, but you might get invited round for xmas dinner with the local shell garage manager
  • Be designated driver cos you'll be too skint to have a beer when out
  • Sell your missus - believe me its true, check out my posts
Nah, only joking. Its all worth it, when you do your first few tanks in 150 miles, then you know your really driving and you'll never get the grin off your face.

Nah, at the rate Scoobys use fuel it'd be cheaper to go and get bladdered than offering to be the designated driver!

[tangent]
Last time I was designated driver at xmas my car (cavalier) got stolen.

When the coppers arrived they said "bet you wish you'd just got bladdered instead now eh?" - they were right!
