Trying to find parts and really struggling
I have been offered a car which needs a front bumper and bonnet after an accident. Its well within my ability to fix it as it is a cat D.
Keep drawing blanks for the usual places I hunt (ebay and gumtree). Could anyone please point me in the right direction to get a used bumper and bonnet? Car is a 2008 WRX hatch |
the breakers section bud
|
I have looked in there everything seems to be pre 2007.

^^^^^ LOL Yes I did have them shut
Thanks for the links. :thumb: I tried to keep the post short. Rather than have a novel as a 1st post. Talked to Scooby parts and the othe main advertiser in the classifieds section. Nada from either Looking for 2nd hand bumper as I then get all the bits in it I will be buying the car 3rd hand so god knows whats missing to quote Scooby parts its the 'Small bits that really push up the cost'. |

Have you rang the Breakers to ask if they have anything ?
Tried the 2 main ones in the classifieds section. About 8 in and around Bristol. Some that come up in google search as scooby breakers Now on to the National ones. Trying to find a whole bumper as that has all the grills and hopefully the headlamp washers etc The ones I have found have been front end shunts so the Bumpers are Foobar. |
Just looked.....Comments added in orange. Bear in mind my knowledge of Subaru's boils down to about 3 hours over the last week.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/bonnet-for...4AAOSwHxVW8Fh0 ^Ouch £300 quid plus it needs painting. Wanders off to find British supplier. Anyone know a good one? :-) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GENUINE-SU...MAAOSwA79Zoyj7 ^ Good Find Did not spot that one. Will ring them tomorrow http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GENUINE-Fr...IAAOSwng9ZsrAq ^ Am I correct in thinking that is an STI one. If so is it is wider than the WRX and the fittings are all different. Please correct me if I am wrong. Will ring them to see if they have my one to reg/chassis tomorrow. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GENUINE-Fr...MAAOSwmFpZsq~U |

Car is a 2008 WRX hatch. I think any bumper from 2008 to 2010 will fit. Apart from the STI one. Please correct if I am wrong. |
Different tangent now. Need to find out part numbers for the bumper and its components for the year of car I have. e.g. headlight washer.
Is there a UK electronic parts catalogue? If so could someone point me in the right direction TIA |

one question why G12 as model. Most adverts I see say gh2 or gh3 ? |

Subaru has various ways of identifying it's models G12 is the model code (narrow body Impreza) G22 - wide body Impreza GHE is the model number for the 2.5L WRX GH2, 3 and 7 are for the lesser engined variants. http://clarkdh.net23.net/NTL/WRX%20Model%20Number.PNG |
