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..

 

that looks gr8 m8 love it in black

 

whats the crack with japanparts.com then? was it cheap in your eyes? what was the postage like? also did you get import tax on top etc?

 

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..

 

Looks well smart mate.

Very, very nice!

Got a pic of the original grill for comparison?

 

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..

 

Looking great

Your bits still going strong on mine

 

Looks ACE as it is.

 

much better mate

 

Cheers mate - Call it FSti envy

I looked at getting a set of the FSti front lights but they were an arm and a leg

Smiles - still looking good mate

 

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