I got some from Scott. Blue with STI on my Sonic Blue 4 door and I really like them. Gives it a rally style look, very well made and well fitted. Great for the current weather because the instantly stop all the carp flying up the side of the arch/door.

As to what difference there are between these and the genuine item I don't know, can't be much and certainly not another £150 on top.

Recommended buy!

How easy are these to fit? Is it just a case of remove wheels and bolt on or do you need to do some drilling?

The real ones are reflective, the STi logo goes really bright if photograhed with a flash but still not worth the extra ££££

Yea I do have the £££ ones

they are very easy to fit but there is some drilling involved and it helps if you take each wheel off

Thumbs up

M8 get the Scott Lowe ones, thiers no way the Subaru one are worth that much more... How on earth can 4 mudflaps be £350 MAD!

I've put Scotts on and they are very good, look great and stop the motor getting ****ed up...

Added some pics 4 u...

Check out the side of the car after a blast in the snow!
Little tip when you fit them... tape the captive nuts to the front wing...
You'll know what i mean when you do it.

???????? Where the hell you been driving????????

As for the original one's being reflective. Most unlikely because (a) they are screen printed, and as far as I know you cannot get a reflective ink for printing, and (b) it's illegal to have any white reflective material visible from the rear of a vehicle at night.

Dazza. No way is that your motor. It's too clean, and theres no camera shake. Did you take a chamois leather and a tripod with you? Looks nice. Shame the front's been shotblasted since (76 at the bridge today )

Make one out of some coctail sticks and sellotape...
...and carry a milk crate round in the boot.
