Default Got a new Grill

All the way from Japan

Genuine Forester Sti grill from japanparts.com - excellent service too..!

Will keep the Sti badge for now until I can find a suitable replacement - if only I could get a red FXT one..

I wouldn't say it works out cheap by any means but they are a good source of some of the harder to get JDM parts. Postage was reasonable and only took a few days.
They always mark them full price though so you do get stung on the vat/import duty and handling charge from parcelforce..

Here's the UK sports grill I had on before, more of a fine wire mesh whereas the Sti is moulded plastic - I prefer the chunky look of the Sti one I think..

Much better than the oem one. Why not paint the sti badge a different colour...silver or anthracite?
