Has anybody replaced the standard upper spoiler with one of these? The one I have bought (MRT) does not have the removable lugs in the upper surface to allow vertical tightening of the fixing from above.

Advice would be appreciated.

Hey Krud

I haven't got an STi wing, but I have asked the question you are asking.

I've checked out a number of STi wagons in my area, and it appears that they're secured by two metal brackets on the lower part of the wing (they go around the outside of the hatch), and also two bolts that go THRU the glass.

Would be interested to know how you get on!

Cheers

Krud

Thanks Huffer. Through the glass? Wow!

These 2 official STi spoilers seem to have the holes....

Krud

Yes - thanks for the pics. The official one fits like the OEM spoiler. The one from MRT (much cheaper) does not have the holes, so it seems needs fixing horizontally with OEM fitments and vertically with adhesive. Apparently this is a common way of doing it - I am still investigating.

Do MRO do both back wings?

Interesting. I am looking for the lower spoiler or decent pair for the rear of my WRX import MY94 wagon.

Any ideas, sources and prices of these? Subaru seem to want like £1300 for a OEM set, IIRC!

I just missed the above pair

They went for £300

Hi Neal

I know that both spoilers were offered as aftermarket additions in this country, and my dealer is investigating whether they are still officially available. (Price unlikely to be good)! I was hoping to get a fitting kit to try, but obviously the kit would not help solve my problem fully, because I don't have the right vertical holes. The adhesive used in Aus is called Sikaflex (industrial strength rubberised adhesive) - I'm going to ask my dealer's bodyshop on Tuesday about this stuff, to see if it is a suitable alternative as a reliable fitting method. Perhaps someone reading this will know something?

WR Sport still do the rear spoilers, but they're over £1k!

Many thanks - will give em a try.

Guys!

A friend and I are prepared to offer you all a deal. We can supply you with ready-to-paint top and bottom spoilers for circa 500pounds - shipping included.

We can ship them from here, direct to you.

These parts are ready, all we need to do is negotiate on a how to conclude the deal. My friend and I also need to negotiate with our supplier here.

We've seen how much you in the UK have to pay for parts, we think it's outrageous.

So if you're interested - reply to this thread and I'll email you with details.

And yes, this is genuine - we're not trying to scam you. I've built up too much of a good history on Scoobynet to jeopardise it!
(check me out on the "sport" threads, in Members Gallery)

Huffer

BTTT!

Krud

No use to me Huffer - I've already got the high level one (£164 including delivery) which I thought was a good price compared to the WR one.
Thanks for the offer anyway.

On the Sikaflex. I used to work for a company that used it to stick windows into VW transporters back in OZ, it is good stuff and will easily hold a rear spoiler on. Don't get it on your hands though as it takes several days to get off.
