Default Diff Guard/STI Sill Plates

Found these two nice looking items. Liking the Diff Guard but think it was up for £60, to which looks very little to it to warrant that price tag (more to do with whats stamped on it). Someone must either have one of these or had the cover chromed up? Post yours pics accordinly.

Secondly is some door sills, they fit overthe top of the plastic ones already there, and again look fantastic, but for a set of 4 they are £230 .
Would love a set of them but.........

This was my 1st mod on my 05 STI PPP. I bought it for the cosmetic appeal rather than protection. Its highly visible to anyone following especially at night when its polished!

Agreed.

I think someone tried a group buy on these when they first came out but the discount was very small. I think that was direct through a Subaru dealer so it might be worth another go though.

I`m afraid thats right, £160! Is what you expect when its a genuine Prodrive/Subaru part. On the upside it fits perfect and IMO looks great. As its alloy its pretty shiny and I topped it off with some AutoGlym metal polish. As you know the rear diff casing is visible when following a Subaru and this just compliments your Stainless Steel back box!

Would it be possible to buy them from another country they are much cheaper in the US but P&P would probably take up all the saving maybe a group buy would work tho ????? any ideas

well it might , $160 is £86.50 plus the P+P, plus duty/tax, so it might come out at around £110-120, which although cheaper, is not exactly a major saving. unless you could get it through as a gift, but suppliers dont like to do that on major qty's.

You pay duty and VAT on gifts. The allowance is a little higher than on commercial goods, but thats all.
