Default Hawkeye rear wheel arch trim/moulding

Hi,

I need to replace the rear wheel arch trim on my Hawkeye due to some damage. I just call Subaru and they want £80 + VAT for each side, does anyone know if I can get these elsewhere?

Any help appreciated.


Thanks

www.subarugenuineparts.com have them for 79USD a side (55GBP), but they are US based and you would have to pay shipping charges ontop which would probably mean that you wouldnt end up saving a great deal..... The search continues

Let me know if you find a cheaper supplier of these or any breakers that have them....

japperformaceparts.co.uk also do these for 20 pound a side, however, you have to realise that the clips will break once they are removed by the salvage yard - they are a bit of a one-use clip that once pushed in, breaks once you try and remove the arch. They are very difficult to remove properly with clips remaining intact. Also, will require painting to match your car....

Therefore, unless you are going to use 3m tape or some sort of adhesive, it will probably be best to buy brand new in the correct paint code.

Unless anyone else has any better options

Anyone selling any of these from a breaker, or know of anywhere that can do them cheap but genuine?
