No problem with Quality

Just thought the OEM looked better IMHO

and of course the OEM has a badge

Hi Phil,

Wil those STi covers fit a MY02 five door? Assuming that the foglamp aperture is the same as the 4dr?

Cheers, Harry.

Thanks Phil - where's the best place for 'em? GGR and TSL seem to quote vastly different prices.

Cheers, Harry.

It depends wether you want OEM parts or the various after market ones

TSL/GGR both have good names

The car is in at the dealers to have a whole list of cosmetic changes made and also the 15K service, the grill is just one of them so I thought I'd get them to do it whils it was there. Will make sure I don't get stiffed on the labour for it though.

Like those STi covers, where were they from? I was going to contact TSL about some. You didn't have to drill anything to fit them did you? I'm paranoid about drilling holes in things.

I got mine from MRT in Australia but I believe the UPA ones available from TSL are just as good (Not sure if they supply a Sti Stencilfor painting0

No cutting but if you have CIBIE's like I do the bracket supplied needs a little modification i.e. bending and narrowing(not hard)

Hi guys.... just to clarify.. we do TWO types of mesh fog cover. The genuine STi OEM part for £150 plus VAT and the lookalike version for £65 plus VAT. The difference with this part is the lack of the Sti logo and a slightly different mesh.

There is a huge difference between the list price of the same product on ours and other sites.. .. i don't know where they are buying their's from, and obviously cannot comment on their pricing policy. Our come straight from Japan and at £150 plus VAT we still make a shilling so we're all happy!

Hope this clarifies things a bit!

cheers

Surly making an STi stencil can't be hard

Then you could save a fortune

Thanks Trouser - it's the genuine ones I'm interested in. Couldn't understand why there was such a price difference between your's and a site I mentioned earlier....

Cheers, Harry.
