So I took ownership of a 2001 WRX Wagon on Sunday (I was up a mountain at the time - too difficult to explain). By Thursday, before I'd even seen the car, let alone driven it, my brother phoned me, rather sheepishly, to say a tree had fallen on it at his place.

I'm trying to avoid a full-blown insurance claim as the majority of the damage is just glass (£60 excess) but the spoiler took the majority of the impact and has snapped. My local dealer has quoted me £374+VAT for a replacement (coloured and delivered by nubile maidens, I assume).

What's my best source of a replacement? Second-hand? It's been a few years since I last had an Impreza (2 as Co cars - so didn't worry about such things). Would appreciate guidance.

Cheers

rather unlucky to say the least, hope it all works out for you

 

Comiserations my friend - still at least no one was in it...

I'd get one off ebay - there dead cheap & pretty easy to spray up & fit.

Thats what i did with mine & it looks pretty good.

It's a good excuse to buy a bigger sti style one too.

 

thats not too bad at all. i'd count myself lucky... coulda been lot worse..

 

Can't decide if I've been lucky or unlucky. Couple of feet either way would have made all the difference.....
