Default jdm/UK front bumper bar

Anyone know of anyone who's got a UK front bumper bar for a blob eye?

I tried API already, but they had none in stock.

I'd give subaru a call, but they're such hard work to get to understand and need chassis numbers etc that I don't have at work, so I thought I'd post here instead...

they are only £80ish from the dealers, there must be someone you know that you can borrow a vin from or go to a car sales and pull the vin from the windscreen sticker

you're joking? 80 quid?! If so, I'm laughing

It's the front most bit in this picture: http://www.bilar.co.uk/ebayfmic/front_small.jpg The bit between the head lights.

Going back to TMIC, I think

It's for a new age guys, the whole reinforced box steel section has to be cut off to fit most of them to a car...

I'm not sure if it's just in my head, but the front end don't seem quite as stiff without it, plus i'm not sure what effect not having the bar there would have in a front end impact...

They are indeed £80 +vat from the stealers. They should be able to supply one just from your reg No. Do not try to run the car without the Bumper beam its there for a very good reason.
