Currently has the prodrive mid level spoiler but would like to get the bigger one. Im after the larger one which has a built in third brake light.

My car is not avaliable from Subaru until January so was considering asking them for a total cost including spraying & fitting. Is that a bad idea?

Comments Welcome.

Dar.Wil looks perfect. Is that the Sti5??

Just checked there website and it reads £350 including spraying. Sounds like a good price just hope they do fitting also because im useless at things like that.

Many Thanks

Yes it is an STI 5 and that's the price I paid 18 months ago...have a look at the bottom of the page,there is a thread about fitting,it really is very simple.

IU would think that a dealer would charge a LOT more than that for a spoiler, painting and fitting.

I got an STi6 from GradeASubaru, £305 delivered next day, paid £80 to have it sprayed, and fitted it myself for about £6 for the sealant.

Havent got any problems fitting the spoiler just worried about the brake light and how that would need to be wired up.

By the way would the prodrive mid level spoiler be worth any money? im thinking it could go towards the sti one.

Question

Doesn't your OE or existing spoiler have a brake light then?

If it does, you simply cut off the plug, and either solder the wires, or use a "chocolate bar" coonector, like I did.

If it doesn't, you'll have to get behind one of the rear lights, identify the brake light, and earth cables, then tap into them via Scotchlok connectors, and lead the wire up to the spoiler, clipping/taping it out of the way on it's journey.

sorry m8 but i cant resist this, best place for the spoiler is at the back of your car on top of the boot, SORRY. i've got one ordered myself from "DIRECT CAR PARTS" in sunderland at £199 but i've been waiting 6 weeks now, beginning to wish i'd paid a bit extra coz i could have got one in a couple of days but good luck with your car anyway, KEV
