High guys, I was wanting to know whether the quarter panels would fit. I know that there is a slight difference in lights but that mostly effects the bumper. Reason I ask is i need a few bits and bobs for a blob eye but am seeing mostly bug eyes being broken.

cheers

IIRC the is no difference, as you said only difference is bumper and rear lights although MY05 blobeye is probably different

hmm, well i thought all the blob eyes were the same

kilo_4que

Blimey, I would have expected more replies than this.

Anyone else?

kilo_4que

Wow so many views and no more replies

Should be the same. The rear light cluster is the same shape just dark tints on the bugeye. All blob wrx's are the same shape as far as I know. I believe it was just the '05 STI which got slightly flared rear arches.

swifty.....!

the 05 sti changed to flared arches and a few late 04 sti's which were basicly the 05 car. your best bet is asking subaru for the part codes as they'l be the same if they fit

Mine is actually a WRX 55 plate. I can get a bugeye rear quarter was just wondering if it is the same so that i can get it.

There all the same bug eye, blob eye and hawkeye.

kilo_4que

o cool, should be sorted by getting the bug eye quarter in that case

kilo_4que

right after speaking to a few people who deal with impreza in various ways I am given two different answers. Some say they are definately different.

Some say that if mine does not have lips on the arches then the bug eye quarters should fit.

Me personally, I think the lights wont fit properly as the corner of the light that fit into the quarters on the blob eye seems more finer than the bug

some help pleaaaaase

Theres a lad on another forum (OCUK) who has an 03STI with the arch lips.

He says the previous owner fitted them. I can't see someone re-fitting 2 rear quarters from a late 04STI to an 03STI just to get the lips.

So although not helping very much, I can't see 03 quarters being different to 04 onwards. I'll ask him and come back.

kilo_4que

lol i just returned to this thread and you replied bang on at the same time.

Edd I would be greatful if you could find out for me matey

cheers

That's me ! (Sneaky Peaky )

According to the previous owner the rear quarters are the same, the arch extension is a kit which fits over the wheel arch, he's got a spare set FS on here at the moment as it happens.

The other difference is the rear bumper skin which is shaped to meet up to the arch extensions..

whilst that explains the sti arch extentions, would the bug eye quarters be the same as a blob eye

Yes! ask the rally boys like roger clarke or pete a prosport.

kilo_4que

O good one, asked SC and Ads was adament they are different but alternatively asked a few other people they said otherwise.

Let me ask the boys at roger clark

kilo_4que

hi juggers can you give me prosports number or even their web address as I cant get through to Roger Clark

EddScott

Its like we all live in this little village called "The Internet"

kilo_4que

lol no the problem was there was too many results with prosport

neverthesless i found it lol

kilo_4que

And ive just spoken to Clare from Prosport, what a nice a person.

After looking into it for me the part numbers for a 2001 bug and 2004 are exactly the same, likewise i should be good to go.

Thank you very much Clare

I told ya they were the same

kilo_4que

O yes you did, hence the reason I got confused as several people were certain they are the same but as soon as Scooby Clinic said they arent, I got confused

But thanks for that brother
