INFO PLS?! WANT TO CHANGE MY06 GRILLE BAGDE..CAN I?
PLS HELP!
I want to change the badge on the front of my MY06 STI to a pink one and can't seem to find one to fit. Guy at Subaru Cardiff didnt know if one he had would fit. They have them on ebay but guy says they dont fit new newages...anyone?
Thanks,
Laura

pull it off carefully, wet'n'dry the back which will take it back to clear plastic with the chrome stars still visible in the recess. Then repaint any colour you can get from Halfrauds.
Should take about 10 mins to wet'n'dry then a little bit of painting time....

Think scott is saying to gently pull of the badge you got then rub down and paint then re stick back onto grill So yes it will fit if done this way

I see !!! I was just doubting its size because I asked ebay shop that do scooby parts and they said it wasn't possible and It does seem like the "mount?!" bit was a bit more roundy and A LOT bigger than the badge ive got on my old sti. will take it to the dealer and ask if i can run the badge outside and check it praps?!FANKS!!!

Have you tried Scoobyparts - Subaru Impreza parts and accessories
Thats the guy from ebay that i contacted initially, he said this:
Hi, If you have a Hawk Eye then I'm afraid the answer is no.
We have looked into it and it will not work.
Kind regards,
Tim
Thats what put doubt in my mind as he does a lot of business on there.
Ta, Laura.

THE REPLY......
Laura
Thank you for your interest in API Impreza.
The larger one from the 2001 / 2005 car does not fit the 06 shape car. As far as I am aware there is nothing for you at this time.
Thanks and kind regards

Hi Laura,
you definitely can get them. Monty's subaru dealer in Sheffield have a spec d in their showroom for sale with the pink badge on! Not sure where they got it from though. Give them a ring and ask for Dave in parts. Their number is 0114 221 4333.
Cheers
Richard

I'd think you'd find it hard to find a genuine badge for less in the UK than that.
Bizarrely, I bought my STI rad cap from japanparts, and even including postage from Japan it was still £10 cheaper than anywere in the UK, including the dealerships. Its looking the same way for the (MY06?) diffuser that I want, can't find it anywhere cheaper than Japanparts, and thats including the £60-odd postage!
(slight off topic! sorry

She won't break the bank if she gets the price for the other car.
Though you sure you bought the right car Laura, as you might as well of gone and bought a M3 or maybe a Porsche after all the money you would of spent on the new car.

Are you suggesting that I am being a little advantageous in my pricing? I haven't autotradered it yet.....
No I had this from everyone I know...get an evo, get an M3....driven / had both and I still wanted a scooby.
My version 7 has had soooo much done that I couldn't settle for a standard STI but isn't the doing up bit the fun part? Plus it helps you learn a bit more about them too.
Wanna buy a blue one? Careful lady owner and all that?!

I will admit the price is abit steep, but thats only my thoughts.
You might get lucky and sell it at your desired price or possibly not, but time will only tell.
I did consider buying it awhile ago when I saw it at the school, but then thought about it and I would only go back to a Classic STI RA V-ltd V2 like I had before or even a STI Type R V5 or V6.
