Surely when they say its an original Subaru part it is, and nothing wrong with it etc etc, price difference is huge over 100gbp cheaper

They buy a lot of parts from the OE manufacturers or some even from Subaru themselves overseas (called grey importing), the quality is always good and the prices excellent.

There is also www.japanparts.com, though not used these, they look quite good.

Use them all the time for parts. Genuin parts at half the price. Quick delivery and great service on the phone.

can't fault them at all

Have faith in them mate. Very highly recommended in my books. I have placed a few orders with them and each time the parts arrive next day.

Very Helpful too. They know what they are on about unlike another well known import part company I have used.

Give them a try.

I wouldnt be as cautious with any other parts, just be worried that the modines are not genuine or up to scratch,

Some blue prints work a treat mate.

Import Car Parts sell mostly genuine and blue print items. I wouldn't worry what they sell mate. It's the real deal and will serve you.
