£35 for a tiny bit of plastic!!!
Just phoned up subaru for the little plastic chip guards that go on the rear arch, I was thinking maybe £15 for the pair tops, but i should've remembered i own a scooby. £35 for the pair? What a bloody rip off.
By the way, the guy on the phone said i'd need 2 holes for them to fit, i thought they just stuck on. I've a my93 so i haven't got holes in my arch, do you think i could just cut the bits off and then stick'm on

How about £538.00 for a throttle return spring on a 2003 WRX / STi.!
The [green coloured ] one on the throttle shaft itself cannot be bought separately and comes complete with a new throttle body.
Probably the most expensive Subaru insignificant part.

As an example a pair of mirror backs was only a tenner.They did strips that run part way round the back edge of my rear wheel arches as well.
Failing that if you watch Blue Peter you can do wonders with a yogurt carton & some PVA glue.
