Which route do i take in getting a Sti 5 spoiler to replace the mid level one on my STi2

Route 1 - Take it to a garage like Townend garage in Carnforth up north, leave it with them and pick it up later all done and dusted, i think you are looking at about £300-£350 all in.

Route 2 - Buy one , seen some on ebay for £175, get a body shop to prep it, paint it and fit it, not sure how much that will cost, wont be cheap though.

I dont think there would be much difference in the overall price though.

Anyone used Townend garage for something like this, i know they have a good reputation for servicing and working on engines, but what about bodywork.

Cheers

 

i mailed the bloke on ebay about quality and stuff and he never replied

i fear you will get what you pay for

 

have a haggle with the garage and get them to do it, it may be more expensive but if there is a problem u can go back to em.

the ebay 1, u could have it damaged in the post, then if you dont know a good sprayer u could end up with a poor spray job and finally u could have some greif fitting.

if u r like me and had enough of tinkering with the cars then I find paying some one else to do it all is far less hassle and greif.

just my opinion

 

Yes thanks route one sounds less hassle

 

Route 3:

Approach DRM for a painted spoiler.
Fit it yourself, (about an hour's work with two mates for the last 10 minutes:
Alcazar

 

i mailed that bloke on ebay aswell,didnt answer me either so ill leave it a few week,see what sort of feedback he gets from these on now

 

thats a good plan
i cant go the pre painted route as the back of my car is not a standerd colour lol

 

are the one's on e-bay oe fit for scoob's or are they universal fit ,

 

This is what is on the ebay listing -->>

BRAND NEW SUBARU STi BOOT SPOILER WITH LED BRAKE LIGHT

FITS DIRECTLY TO BOOT LID, COMES READY TO SPRAY

EXCELLENT DESIGN, SAVE $$$$$$$ ON RETAIL!!!!

PLENTY IN STOCK FOR FAST DELIVERY.

I sent them an email over a week ago now, still no reply

Seems a bit daft, putting items on ebay and then not answering prospective buyers questions [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

 

its buy it now at £175 with £9.95 to add for P&P its too dear for one of those kind of spoilers

 

The replica STi 5 spoilers, the bigger ones are the same price, but you get more spoiler

Have the dealers in the south just suddenly got a lot of these spoilers, has though there was a shipwreck off the coast

Sorry, us northern boys, dont know much about southern geography, so cant tell you which coast

 

are they 5 or are they 6 tho?
look more like 6 to me

bloke still hasnt replied to my mail the swine

 

defo looks more like a 6 to me (i want a 6 not a 5)
no mail back means hes not getting my money

will have to wait and see if sumbody complains about the crap quality on here 1st LOL

 

probably looking at 120 for a bodyshop to prep and spray the ebay one.
