Has anyone managed to fit these over the foglamps? They seem to fit, however the small bracket that they screw into doesn't seem to like co-existing with the lights in place.

Has anyone managed to do this? If so, how? Or am I not trying hard enough?

Is this the bottom bracket Burr ?

looking on subaru parts it shows a long metal bracket that would go where the bolt for the fog lamp is

As I cant fit mine, cos I have no clips, or hole for a screw, then Im not much help really

Cool

The covers will physically fit ove rthe foglights, no problem.

However, the original STI car has a bracket bolted to one f the foglight holes and this bracket would need to be removed to fit the covers. You might them ne able to replace the relevant 6mm bolt with 3inch long one that will secure the cover.

Hope that makes sense?

The bracket I have fits so snugly up against the glass, so much that I'm sure the screw won't go through.

I've just removed the lights and placed the covers over the hole. I was just wondering if I could have both in place?

Take the bracket out and see if you could put a long bolt through from the outside hole to the retaining thread behind the foglamp.

Some of the replica covers are fixed in this way.

Its the only way i think it will work.

The bracket will bolt in fine, but wraps around the glass (if you know what I mean) so much that the screw from the front of the cover won't go through the hole (the glass is behind it)

I'm not making much sense here..... I'll take some photos.... when bloody Fuji decide to send me back the camera of mine that they've been fixing for 2 months!!!

I don't rate their tech dept at all!

Aaaaaahhhh!

Light dawns on yonder Andy

In that case sir, I suggest cutting down the bolt that holds the cover on so it exits the bracket flush and putting a double bit of clear tape between the bracket and glass as an extra prtection. As long as it is tight, the bolt should remain in situ.

With a P1 Chassis no (from a friendly P1 owner) you should have no problem getting replacements.
