I've Just Been Robbed Blind!
...........By a Subaru dealer.
£16.57 for a turbo to downpipe gasket. The part consist of 3 pieces of metal bound together by a folded - over lip in the middle. It should fit itself for that price!

although I agree it's a rip-off, if the dealer didnt charge that much chances are they wouldnt exist anymore.

Why call Subaru?
paints4u Did me a couple of tins of Deep Blue Mica for what I thought was a good price. It's just a shame I'm rubbish at spraying!! It's the lacquer that get's me. Are we going off topic, or is it just me!
