Had my P1 from new and need to replace the front skirt as a helpful (!) recovery company managed to drop it on its nose when a ramp slipped last night (recovered as couldn't get the space saver spare over the brake calipers after a flat - need to solve that separately!).
Main section now cracked.

Anyone know if the front skirt is still available as original equipment from Subaru? Anyone done this recently and have an idea of cost? (I recall someone saying that it's almost impossible to take apart the front end and end up with a decent result, plus it's cheaper to just replace it all in one due to the prep required?).

Cheers - any help gratefuly received, as you can imagine I'm gutted about my favourite toy being damaged!

Firstly, I would imagine that an original WILL be available, although at a cost........but if your recovery person damaged it, I assume they will pay?
If you CAN'T get one, HT Autos do a copy in pu, not f/glass, which is pretty good. Get the one FOR the P1, not the copy for 97/98 cars.

Secondly, a decent bodyshop will put it right, and since you shouldn't be paying..........

Edted to say: go full size spare, you know it makes sense. I found out mine don't fit, the EASY way

I think they were £350, but that may have gone up, and may be +vat

Regarding the space saver issue .... a slightly long winded way around it for a front wheel puncture is to swap the space saver with a rear wheel, then fit the newly removed rear wheel in place of the punctured front

Hold out and find some one selling a genuine p1 front end of eBay, should be able to find one

As yamarashi said - just put space saver on the rear. - Its a pain but its saves your boot being compromised with a full size spare.

New ones are available - the actual spoiler is relatively cheap at £150 or so as it's the same as any facelift spoiler, it's the P1 splitter that bonds to that that costs circa £350 as Moley says. having just waited circa 6 months for IM/Prodrive to supply a new one I suspect that they may have just made a new batch so you might be in luck.

Thx guys - the space saver didn't fit the back either as I have sti brakes on the rear - need a sti spacesaver perhaps?

Gordo: my spacesaver didn't fit at the rear over my STi brakes. I tried an STi spacesaver, but it didn't fit the boot any better than the full-sized one
And at least the full sized one allows me full speed.
