Question

I Am thinking of ordering some new bonnet grills and maybe the rear wing but I am not sure about their rep with regards ease of fitting and Build Quality?

Although I have not bought either the grills or rear wing, I have got the MRO front air dam fitted on my WRX.
The quality of the product is excellent but what really surprised me was the fit. The dam was a superb fit and it's difficult to see the join. I believe MRO hand finish and check each item for fit against the real body panels before release. Ask Rob O'Neill for details.

hope this helps

Cheers

Dave

Air dam (and other parts from memory) come primed only, I got mine sprayed up locally so colour match is spot on

I also have a MY95 WRX but in Black Mica. If you look at the MRO website you'll find mine in the gallery (with WRX plate on)

Come Rob where's ya sales pitch

(Nothing whatsoever to do with MRO, just satisfied customer!)

Here it comes Dave!
Parts can be supplied painted if required. I use a quality paint shop to do the colour coding and they use 2 pac. Ive got a deal with them so its good VFM I think (£65.00 for front air dam). Not had any missmatches yet.
Cheers Rob.

I got the front air dam and vents from MRO air dam is A1 but had 2 small faults with the vents but still say they it is very very good gear (near side mesh was cut the wrong way up and no fitting instructions given ) again I stress there stuff is of a high quality and is worth the cash. I sea a lot of after market products in my line and these are good . find us at

I have also recently acquired the front grill and air dam and have to say the fit and colour match are perfect. I love the way they have transformed the car. Excellent service from Rob too!!!
