getting an import so it has no mats or locking nuts,
read an article that said mcguard ultra were the muts nuts, but then somewhere on here i read that they stick out a mile (bodicia chariot style?)
anyone had any experience or know how much genuine scoob ones are?

also £70 for genuine mats is a joke, plus i read on here they are basically made from self dissolving carpet, has anyone got any good ones for a 06 that they are happy with the quality?

cheers

 

I can't help you with the matts, but I can help you on locking nuts. I had to get some new locking nuts as the ones on there where cr@p (put on when the new alloys where done as the previous owner no.2 did not give the locking wheel nut to owner no.3 so he had to take it to a wheel tyre place for them to undoo the nut and fit the new alloys owner 3 wanted). This locking wheel nut set was very soft. So i went to my local subaru garage, Quenbys in Baldock, Herts and got some McGard ones for £24.95. And they even fitted the for me

 

I just bought the standard STi mats £60:

And the nuts i got free when buying some new wheels.

 

so subaru sells mcgard ones? are they the standard ones on a scoob? they don't stick out as i read somewhere?

 

McGard - Halfords sell them. They do stick out a bit but to me it shows that they are there clearly.

As I visit building sites a lot I bought the Genuine Subaru rubber mats for about £25 ish. They are actually made by Cannon and are universal to the classic and newage - you just trim off different bits with a knife.

They are nice and thick and can be hosed down when the get really crappy.

 

I just bought some Wolfrace locks (old style McGard apparently) for £6.99 on eBay. Less than £10 delivered.

Oh, and the Subaru standard mats are woeful!! I had underfelt under mine to stop them damaging the carpet underneath as they compressed through. They were free though when I bought the car.

Just got a new car and it has Impreza logo'd mats, a nice soft carpet material, rubber stipples on the back and even has a mat that goes over the transmission tunnell at the rear (and that clips onto the left and right rear mats). No idea who makes them though
