glad you like it
I think that that style of lower lip is available from most of the
Subaru places that advertise on here,or look at 'Fundimental's posts in Styling as i think he sells a similar one.
Fitting does take a little bit of 'fettling'.Just where it moulds around the 2 verticle spars...
as for the painting,have a go yourself
(use a plastic primer.)
...i sprayed my grill,fog covers,vents,eyebrows,mirrors and rear wing using
Halfords Daewoo(cough cough!)Racing Green Metallic
good luck

Thanks Again,
Will probably have a go at doing it myself.
I sprayed my grill with Ford Juice Green, which was a near match but maybe a shade darker.
Will have a go with the Daewoo colour...
P.S Thinking of doing the skirts too. It's amazing what you can do with a can of paint/laquer and some t-cut.

Whats with spraying other car colours?
Don't the Halfords near you do paint mixing?, I couldn't find scoob colours on the shelf but when I asked they are able to mix paints including Subaru colours, you get decent spray cans with adjustable nozzles too.

If the paint doesn't match it aint much use. I got Halfords to mix me some Mica Blue so that I could spray those black bits at the bottom of the rear doors - nothing like the original colour.
Good luck.

Mixing paint for cans is very difficult.
I had a local car paint supplier do some for me. The first time it was spot on. The next time I wanted a can it was way too dark.
Because they are mixing up such small quantities i.e 500ml it is very difficult to get the mix right as some parts of the colour only require very very tiny amounts.
O.K if you are getting 5 cans or so.
As mentioned above Ford Juice Green was a good match, but I remember seeing the Daewoo colour at the time and thought it also looked similar. I just went into Halford with 'Bonnect Vent' in hand and matched up the colours.

Gonna give one of these a go....
It's of a Seat Cordoba and costs the mighty some of £7.50+Vat per half. If I mess it up it's only cost me under £20, so gotta be worth a try.
Here's something similar (Laguna Splitter, about £75) on a dutch Scoob....
