What year of car Katy???

The current, MY03+ STi covers are SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper than that..... are you sure you're not confusing the high price with that of the mudflaps?

They're about 10x out..... find a dealer that knows what they're doing.

The mudflaps are about 350 quid

The fog-covers are about 35 for the pair - ready painted, and with the STi logos on etc. If I could use 'search' I'd tell you the part numbers - I'm sure some kind soul will post them though......

Not the end of the world.....

You're talking about the covers, which would cover the foglights if it had them - with a vertical slit in them and STi subaru technica international written on them, largely in pink.

They clip on/off (with a tug) and are therefore quite easily stolen by WRX boys looking for the STi look, when they can't afford the 35 quid to buy their own.

Same thing??????

Just spoken to my dealer - you buy each side separately, pre-painted, at 29.35+VAT each.

Alternatively, the foglight kit - so you can have proper lights there - is 170 quid for the lights and 28 quid for the pre-painted light surrounds..... and the STi covers will fit over the top of the lights (you just clip the surrounds off, then clip the covers on).

HTH

Not the same as you'll be calling yours for misquoting you by a large factor

"The standard fit STi foglight covers for an MY03 Impreza - standard fitment things with the STi logo on it - prepainted in WR Blue"....

Hope you get some replacements soon - as I guess it looks grim without them!

....one of the most depressing things about this is that the thief was almost certainly a fellow Scoob owner

being a WRX boy looking for that STi look, and who hadn't thought about nicking some from an STi - will they just clip into a WRX, or is the housing different?

I think, if you pull the fog-light surrounds off (which just unclip), you'll find that the STi covers clip in where the light surrounds were, and the lights remain in place....

Certainly, that's the case with the official Subaru foglight 'accessories' for the STi - once the surrounds are off, the covers will fit back on.
