Default Side door mouldings

I saw a sti like mine recently and it had black mouldings halfway up the door to prevent door dings, and at the front of the front door ones it said STI on them.You know where i mean, in the crease half way up the doors!

Does anyone know where i can get these as where i live it seems to be a hobby to ding peoples doors in Tesco car park!

Also can anyone recommend a good garage in Ayrshire , preferably near Irvine with experience of Subarus?

Cheers

from what you've described, surely that will only really work for you opening your doors to stop dinging into theirs?

you're probably looking for something that goes along the length of the doors horizontally to stop other people hitting your car when opening their doors?

I had the genuine Subaru part which cost around £50 five years ago. I don,t think that it did a lot for the cars looks, but it kept my Classic dent free. Steve.

They are held on with double sided foam tape, best way I found when in the body shop was masking tape either side to protect the paint, hair drier or carefully used heat gun and get plenty of heat into the moulding. Then use a filler spreader to carefully get behind it and slowly remove - don't be tempted to pull the moulding off once you get the edge free as this can mishape it, just keep using heat and the spreader. You could possibly use plastic coated electrical wire instead. Then use panel wipe to remove the remaining adhesive tape from the door

Just need someone to check with your local dealer if they are still available from Subaru UK.

Has anyone ordered any of these in recently?

I have some fitted to my 2005 Impreza & one of them could do with replacing...

OR ... should I just remove the lot?

The car looks better without them. I had some on my Classic and they did the job very well. I,ve just ordered some for my Blob so I think that answers your question. Steve.
