Default Roof vent

Morning all,

Roof vents, love them or hate them it has to be said they are growing on me...

However, when searching flee-bay for 'impreza roof vent' it only comes up with the, imho, vulger vents. The ones that dont function, and look like a boil on your roof... again, in my humble opinion!

The one I have seen comes standard on many Type-r/ra's and is a flap that can be opened from inside the car....

So, my questions to all who know are,

Where can I source said flappy vent?
What sort of price will I be looking at?
Anyone know of a good fitter (not yet spoken to the below people) as I sure as hell aint going near it with a grinder!!

Any tips much appreciated! pre-summer vent would be good

Thanks in advance

Looks like £300. You could try your local subaru dealer to see if they can order in the part for you.

Yeah the 2nd hand rate is between £200 to £250 plus fitting. We'll be fitting one to a mate's WRX in the future and I'm not looking forward to it
