Does anyone know of a web-site where I might be able to order a lower front grille for my Impreza STI 05, a bit like the one on the WR1 but in black! (But i guess it could be painted).

Didn't really fancy making one up, as I think it'll look a bit poo, wanted a factory fit look.

Cheers
Darren.

 

Scott Lowe do one in Black.

Cheers Allan, thats exactly what I'm looking for, holy moly the price, Guess you'll only need to buy one , Will probably still get it though, looks good. Do you have one fitted or similar?.

 

I've got a black one on my classic, and yes, it looks good (IMHO), but it suffers from paint chipping. If I had my time iover, I'd go for stainless.

I know what you mean about the chipping paint, but as least it stops low flying stones smashing in the radiator.

Stainless looks good to, but for me it would only be more money to match the upper grille, which is black. Just don't know why Subaru didn't put a lower one as as standard, very werd I think.

By the way your car Alcazar looks very mean from the front, you done much to the performance side of things?

 

Hi Darren,

I'm looking at buying one at the moment, I have a Scott Lowe splitter and the quality is very good.

I'm surprised about the chipping comments, thought it would have been powder coated ?

I think Subaru do a lower one in black plastic that fits inside the opening like the upper grille - I wouldnt mind one myself but they still want around £135 for it !!!!

 

This is the price you pay for quality i guess!, and first time fit, easy of fit. Might pop up my local dealer saturday and see what they have, it would be good though if it matches the upper grille to a tee.

 

Godspeed Brembo 32mm conversion on the front, Godspeed discs at the rear.
Whiteline uprated rear arb, anti lift kit, bump steer mod, and full alignment.
TSL Group "N" backbox and matching stainless decat including downpipe.
STi intercooler, 3 port solenoid, HKS induction kit. Hotter spartk plugs.
LINK ecu remapped by Bob Rawle

Defi Link gauges, oil temp, oil press, boost in Scoobymania pod.

So not a lot, really, compared to some

You'll having a laugh "Not a lot really".

Going back to the grille, as the Search icon is up and running now I had a look for similar posts, to which I found some and the grille's in question were the ones where they fit flush to the bumper, now I think they look ok if you get the right colour, but a lot of people were saying they look Naff. But what else is there, does anywhere do a recessed one that sits further back?, maybe Subaru do?. Looks like more research is needed!.

 

Apparently Scoobyworld sell a recessed one for around £65. Which is half what subaru want.

and I have just ordered one !!!

 

I had the Subaru Part - very good quality and perfect match for the upper grill if a bit expensive

Bartop, so would that grille fit flush to the bumper then?

 

No mate it's recessed...
Here's a pic when it was on my car - sorry you can't see it too well...

 

Arh good, that sounds like the grille I'm really after then, black same design as the upper, and is recessed!. Thanks Bartop.

 

Scoobyworld do one for £65 inc vat unpainted (Orciari). www.scoobyworld.co.uk
