Which side protection strips are best for an STI7?? I was thinking of using the standard WRX strips and painting - anybody got any tips, painting or fitting? Is it straghtforward? or would it be best to get a bodyshop to do it (depending on cost)??

Anybody tried strips from different cars?

Side Protector Mouldings STi :

part no: SACC1229
£ 48.47 (including VAT at 17.5%)

Side Moulding Kit :

part no: J1010SE010

on the web the standard pics are there and are also in the accessories booklet, even the dealer cant tell me what the sti ones look like - 'we think the sti ones have sti on them' quote

What i want to know is why are the sti ones cheaper?

Anything withSTI costs loads

STI "the value range" don't here that often!

So whats the technique for painting? Plasticiser, several coats undercoat followed by top coat??

I guess the are ok to line up since the body line is there as a guide?

Where is best place for paint? I've seen Halfords mentioned a few times.
