Default STI Front Lip Spoiler

Does anyone know where to buy a replica STI front lip spoiler? My dealer's quoting £600 notes fitted and colour coded. Seems damn expensive for a piece of plastic with a lick of paint, or maybe it's made from carbon fibre and sprayed satin back!?

Cheers

agreed

His Carbon Fibre one may cost twice as much as the GRP version,but its gonna last about 20 times longer...trust me,I've twatted mine on more than one occasion.

and even your average Orangotang Minus type person will have it fitted in under 20 minutes,no drilling,no jacking and no bonding,it will fit perfectly

There's a 'V Limited' lip available.

See this for details... http://www.stiracing.com/product.php?cat_id=2&id=287

When I bought my lip from Scott, he told me the WRX lip had bolt holes for the 4 door and 5 door bumpers... which are different. My lip bolted up without a problem on the Wagon, and all the holes matched perfectly.

Not sure about the STi one though.

J.

PS. Anders WR1.... Scott makes 2 types. One for the WRX and one for the WRX Sti and both are different. I'm pretty sure the STi one is designed to be fitted with the side splitters in situ.

the sti one fits with the side splitters,and for added strength id suggest u follow the instructions and drill the 2 additional holes,its only into the plastic so a small battery drill at slow speed does the job perfectly,

Agreed guy's
scott lowe's front splitter is the Dog's,and the service is second to none,I beleive the last time i was at his place he was preping some ramps for fitting,so if your unsure,i dare say he will fit it you for a nominal fee

Hello Mate. Sounds like Scott has the solution. Can you send a pic through to admins@crystaleyes.co.uk Is yours the carbon fibre one or GRP?

You done any suspension mods on yours? I'm thinking of fitting a 22mm rear Whiteline ARB. Seems the like STI's already have steel droplinks, so probably not worth forking out for the Whiteline alloy links.

I found this on the Subaru web site:

http://www.subaru.co.uk/IMGGB/WWW/Su...8?Opendocument

Only available for STI's post 2003. Their quoting £395 inc VAT + fitting. My dealer quoted me £600 inc fitting and colour coded to WR1 Ice Blue Metalic.

Just resurrecting an old thread here fellows, but I'm considering one of these lips for my my05 WRX. Does the standard WRX one just bolt onto existing holes, no drilling required?

I'm 100% scared senseless by personally drilling holes in my car, but just fitting some bolts is within my reach I think.
