I've recently bought a 2004 WRX which has had a mobile phone holder fitted to it. Who ever did the job made a right mess of the silver panel which surrounds the stereo and heater controls. I've been checking e-bay every day but they just don't see to be available. Does anybody know if Subaru will stock these as a genuine part and whether they are really expensive ?

Cheers for any advice folks,

Wilky.

 

Im after one too. :-)

 

and me after my dvd player was fitted they must have marked it not bad but if it was cheap then i would love to get it done

 

bttt

 

bttt any one???

 

one of the guys from kent or essex/kent borders bought one in carbon fibre - can't remember his name, but i know he has a reverse cam and possibly a car pc as well. not sure if that helps you!

also, one of the ESC was showing a link to subaru service manuals in their signature bar - part number will be listed in there if you can find the link. that should make it easier to find

alternative is to take the panel out, rub it down, fill etc and respray.....or local scrap yard. i'd go for the diy route in matt black personally, and then keep an eye out for the cf panel on ebay/elsewhere on the web if i were you

 

yep prob the best thanks for the info

 

no idea how much they'll charge, but a dealer should be able to get hold of these - have you tried calling them?

 

Yeah ! £68 + VAT, but luckily managed to get one from a breakers on e-bay for £12. It's not perfect but better than mine. Thanks for everyone's help.
