Went to my local Subaru garage to get a quote for a new boot lid. Had two quotes, the first was for a UK Classic WRX coming in at £250. But the P1 lid is only £160!!!!!!!!

Doews anyone know why, is the boot made of something cheaper.... Please enlighten me.

Thanks
Jim.

 

i think some (RA, lightweight etc) might have been made from aluminium, normal ones are steel.

something to check would be how many holes it's got in it. not sure if a P1 lid had more in but i doubt it.

can't see any reason not to go for the cheapest one

 

All RA ones are steel, only the bonnets were alloy.
Could have something to do with the strenght of the part, the classic was quite a flimsy design compared to the newage, it is heavier and stronger so hence the cost increase.

Does the UK classic bonnet come with a spolier and the P1 one doesn't ??

 

Exactly; the only aluminium panels fitted to production Classic Imprezas were the bonnets.

 

So, a P1 boot is steel????? still cant understand the price difference!

 

The WRX uk classic and P1 are both classics. Newage doesn't figure here! No idea why a P1 boot would be cheaper though! Would have thought it was the same unit.

 

There was never a UK wrx classic
