I couldn’t wait to remove mine! Currently sitting in my garage, but maybe I need to stick it on eBay if they’re that sought after :D

Sorry but that must be the ugliest mod I have ever seen

🙈🙈🙈🙈

I like it. quirky :)

If you have the full instalment you could get your self an easy £200+ and also make some one very happy as super rare and lots of people want them :)
:D

Did you try searching for it under "wing mirror" as there are probably tons for sale? It wouldn't work at all on your bumper (fender).
It is very jdm.

Nice wing wart. :thumb:

:D

What a silly question well yeah offcourse I did, there actually called fender mirrors,

I will give you £100 if you find one for sale. lol

Subaru part number J2717FC000 which is now discontinued and very rare. Presumably because nobody wanted them?

Just kidding, it's your car and you can do what you like to it. I do love a rare accessory.

Would you like my paypal account to send me the £100 now? :D

:lol1:

Would you of stuck one on your forester brown pants :top:

No, because my car was RHD and they are only available for the passenger wing, so totally pointless here in the uk IMO. They are really only fitted for looks and not my thing. But each to their own! :thumb:

Yeah that’s real good that’s for a SG5

mines a SF5

:clap:

carry on looking....

Untrue, I actually use mine it shows me the curb so I don’t curb my wheels so I have an extra eye, so naaaa not pointless..

also so you had a forester sg9 :lol1: with the super reliable engine LOL

the worst forester model model out there... but EACH to there own MATE. Lol

The same part fits both both models, so it would actually fit your car! :thumb:

:)

I'm not getting into a slagging match here, if you read the comments while most from other members have been negative I've been standing up for you.

As said, it's your car so fit what you want. :thumb:

Totally different mirrors the sg5 will not fit the sf5

there different shape also if you look at the pictures

Different numbers

Fender mirror for SG models
Pre facelift (A-C)J2717SA000 or J2717SA001
Facelift (D-F) J2717SA020 or J2717SA025

Fender mirror for SF models J2717FC000

I agree, they are like rocking horse poo.

Lovely looking rocking horse by the way, but the poo is not my cuppa! :D

Found one practically on our doorstep from a very reliable source. :lol1:

Thats fair enough man, lucky where not all the same and mod out cars exactly the same :)
Yeah but the 2.5 engine is your cup of poo lol:

Thanks for the sharing where you purchase your parts from :norty:

haha. Yep, you're not kidding. I mean who'd drive a modified Subaru on Rota wheels anyhow. Oh wait, I do! :)

Yeh, I've always said your SF5 is about the nicest one I've ever seen. Perfect wheel, stance and colour. Looks the nuts!

I'm plagued with 2.5 engines. Had Subaru's with 2.5 engines for over 12 years now and they've all failed one way or the other.

Haha hey nothing wrong with rota wheels.!

Why thank you, it is clean if I say so my self :thumb: but yah each to there own

yes i hear a lot of horror stories about the 2.5, what fails the most?

Head gaskets mostly, closely followed by ringland piston cracking and subsequent block damage, then oil starvation seizing. Yep, they are a ticking time bomb but I love them. Great driving cars with the torque if built properly.

Ah, mine is an SG and going by pics on-line does appear to be genuine.

Being JDM, my Forester (Cross Sports) is 2 litre though :)

Ebay it is!

Surprised at you, it's a JDM (so RHD) accessory for kerb watching ;)

VERY common in JAPAN on lots of makes and models

Available for the SJ Forester upto 2012

Japan uses a lot of American names for there parts. So it's actually a wing mirror. As mirrors used to be fitted on the front wings back in the day.

If you want to go down that route, the actual name for the part is "Front Under Mirror" as shown on the box here.

Translates from ﾌﾛﾝﾄ ｱﾝﾀﾞｰ ﾐﾗｰ

Useful in the narrow streets of Japan for parking.

they also do/did a "Rear Mirror"-Y78209 (J2717FC010) which mount on the rear hatch for looking at the bumper - since replaced by rear view camera/s
