Newage: Square bootlock conversion from round??
 
I've bought an 04 STI bootlid and spoiler for my WRX newage (MY03), but the bootlock hole is too big for my round bootlock.

Can I fit a square bootlock surround but keep my existing key?

Don't fancy the idea of having a different key...

Anyone done this??

Not done it, but would be interested to hear how you get on :) Maybe a call to a decent Subaru dealer to see what they think ?

No idea on the bootlock but out of interest what are you doing with yr old wrx bootlid ?

Jamesemt 07 April 2005 03:51 PM

Flogging it...why, you interested??

PM me if you are :)

The square bootlock is £14 from Scoob dealer - do they come apart so that I can use the existing barrel?? Please help folks!!

Think I've got this sorted... gonna delock the boot.

Been quoted £120 to weld a plate and then respray the lid, which I think is quite a good price - how much would a big spray shop charge?

better idea for ya mate
remove the boot lock,remove your wrx/sti badges
re-stick them a bit lower and cover the hole from the boot lock with one of your badges

cost=sod all :D

What happens when your boot release cable snaps?

Jamesemt 09 April 2005 02:35 PM

Never use the boot, mate

Just pay the £14 for a square lock then and fit that, bit cheaper than £120! ;)
