Question

Afternoon,

Just wanted to get some opinions on this, a new product for us.

Its made of stainless steel, comes with a 5 year warranty and is a direct fit into the lower part of the car (Impreza 93-03). Should have some pictures of it fitted shortly



Any comments welcome...

Already available from your Subaru dealer!!!

Small point though, the one pictured will only fit 01/02WRX.

Hi Neil,

Will you be doing the same for the upper grill?

I have an 03 car.

Many Thanks

looks good, on a 93 car would it sit in front of the standard slats in the bumper? or do you cut these out?

Also could the outer edge be black?

If you made them in aluminium, you could have them powder coated to match body paint. Plus ali mesh is cheaper and easier to fabricate.

I've bought some mesh in SS and had it fitted. Will take some pics later when I've washed all the dead flies off and post them up.

Cool

I made my own from mesh at Halfords - 20 quid ish....

The lower one was a bit awkward though, so I'd consider a purchase !
