Perrin are poo!!
 

time for a moan. got my wing stiffi's this morning and could not wait to fit them. after spending hours on them ive given up and taken them all off. they were rubbish. the quality of them is very poor and the fit is even worse. they had a gap at the top of about 5mm and they didnt reach the bottom part of the spoiler. absolute crap. pardon my french.

maybe these were seconds, i dont know, but all i will say is - buyer beware.

to say i feel robbed, upset,angry is an understatement. they were damn expensive. i now have all 5 in the bin.

well, thats it, moan over.

time for summit to eat. :)

cant you send them back?

hhhmmm, i dunno. thats another thing i didnt mention. you have to drill the holes in the top of them yourself. so now they are not new anymore.

maybe in being stupid but what are 'wing stiffi's'

Glad you asked first:wonder: - I was thinking it was perhaps something most of us men wake up with anyway:lol1:

its a vertical fin, stabilizer, that goes between top and bottom of the 04' sti rear wing. looks cool ( to some poeple ), and stops the wing flexing , check out the link..

ok i like the look now i know what they are. I wonder if they'll fit on mine better than yours

Lifted from the fitting instructions on the website...... :(

Looks easy enough to me

oh its easy alright. but the damn things dont fit. beleive me. the gaps are huge and if you think im filing it with 'double sided tape', then think again. lol.

im still smiling tho, although i think thats because its not gonna be long now till im eating a chicken vindaloo and rice. hhhmmmmmmmm yummy. :)

dan

well if they wont take them back. let me see if they'll fit mine which is a 2002. Im only in radlett

I was going to get these from the TSL deal that was running, glad I didn't now.

They not for another model of rear wing are they?. Im not aware they do different models. Shame because I looked to these, they do look good, was only gonna get 2 tho as per that vid, not 5.

I was just going to post that exact same video :)

They look easy to install to me. Have you phoned the guys at TSL that sell Perrin parts?

ive notiched that unless u have the official subaru spoiler those stiffi's are gonna be a bitch to install

mine are fine

Do to slight variance in wings, if a large gap between wing and Wing Stiffy is found please call tech support. There may not be a solution
to this problem.

That says to me try them in place before you drill, remove the tape etc etc, otherwise your chuffed.
So if you buy them and they will not fit your wing you should be able to return them.

balls guys piece of pee to fit just need 2 of you and measure many time's did not drill anything

i fitted 2 of these to mine quite some time ago now,must admit its a bit of a fiddly job but mine fit ok and no gaps anywhere.ordered mine straight from perrin in the us.

Good chance there have been subtle changes at different MY's especially as Perrin are US based and theres ofetn change things an MY early than us, for example new Forester is an 08 in the US and an 09 over here.

how have you fitted yours like that? the spacing of the holes in the top part of the wing make that impossible to fit like that. have you just used double sided tape top and bottom?

they look about rite to me,think you could do with having a look at someone elses spoiler just to check there is no difference with yours as it sounds like you may have a slightly different spoiler on.

I think that they've been made for the original sti spoiler, and there is a chance that aftermarket spoilers , which you put on the wrx could be slightly diffrerent size.

who said i had a wrx. ??? i have a genuine sti and genuine sti spoiler. who said wrx

I had the same problem with perrin. Crap. So for the hell of it I bought some pqy off wish. I know what you're thinking. But they were actually a better fit. Not perfect. Still had a small gap but small enough to push down on the spoiler top and bond it with master bond off ebay. Sets like rubber. They're going nowhere. 👍

Also there should be a piece on the underside of the top of your spoiler that screws in. Remove that and screw through that into the fin. I stuck the bottom of mine with master bond. Its the stuff they use to fit new windscreens. Put a ratchet strap or two around the spoiler for 20 minutes. Job done. Hope this helps somebody. 😁
