LOL, i've only just put it on.

Contact Scott Lowe and ask when/if they're getting more in. I think it was £150 for the kit.

The WR1 lower grille is quite expensive from what I recall. Will find a picture of mine and post up- look better but just my opinion........

J_sca001 07 February 2007 01:47 PM

BTTT
Come on Chop Chop, more info required:)

So what you have isn't like the ebay pic you posted ?


See - this is why STi7, STi8 is just confusing (confuses the hell outa me)

If you have MY01 you have what is known as an STi7 (bugeye 2001-2002).
An STi8 is MY03 (blobeye - like the one in the ebay link you gave).

Subaru never gave them STi version numbers. It sort of works for the classics, and ppl generally know what is meant by STi V2/V5 cylinder heads etc. But if you go and order some STi8 bodywork stuff, such as foglight covers, lights, bumpers etc thinking it will fit yours and you will be disappointed.

Mechanically (apart from suspension) MY03 stuff will fit MY01, but seeing as you were looking from mesh grill bits MY03 grill will not fit yours.

When looking for bits you are best saying it's an MY01 (bugeye) and you'll get the right bits :)

That's a shame. And yes, the subaru ones are double the price, about £320 i think. Check the subaru web site out.

You could always ask for the supplier of the grille from SL, maybe you get it direct?!?

Sly git, when did ya take these?:wonder:

"See - this is why STi7, STi8 is just confusing (confuses the hell outa me) "

Definately agree!!

"If you have MY01 you have what is known as an STi7 (bugeye 2001-2002).
An STi8 is MY03 (blobeye - like the one in the ebay link you gave)."

And that's why!!! :)

If 01MY is called STi7, which it shouldn't-
then
02MY shouldn't be called STi8
and
03MY shouldn't be called STi9 either

I'd like to get the WR1 style grille too, not from Subaru though as too expensive. Where else can we go?

J - we'll order one each & drive the price down ;)
