Default Switch blank for Forester STI

Hope you can help. Just been quoted £24.99 for a Forester switch blank to fill a switch I've removed from the group of 4 switches to right of driver (fogs etc)!

In the US they'll sell you one for $3!

Part number: 6624SA011

Any ideas?

thanks

Depending on what year Forester, it will have the same dash as the Impreza, and there is a few of these being broken on here.
Probably best to get a pic of the switch and take it from there.

Or ring Grade A, they are breakers, or find one being broken and go and get one.
TBH, IM/Subaru seem to be trying to kill the brand in the UK, parts prices have got silly, a top hose price rose 50% this year.

Default Switch blank for Forester STI

Cheers guys. I've attached a picture link. I think it is about 35x20mm and about 50mm deep.

Thanks

P.S It is a 2007 Forester

Looks just the same as an impreza one. Its probably the same as a Blobeye dash, so just have a look for people breaking them.

Same as Impreza, ask breakers, they'll be pennies.

Thanks joey_turbo.

Spoke to v helpful guy at http://www.nsec.co.uk Sorted the part I needed. Even better as they have min credit card use of £10 effectively gave it to me for free!

That sort of customer service needs praise!

No problem, glad to be of help.

Did you not see anything else you liked on it? That interior looked a bit tasty.
