can some one let me know if the problem has been resolved as i am about to order one of these and really want it to fit straight away.

JohnPaul

just want to say i bought a grill from derek, fitted fine as far as closing the bonnet goes, maybe you've positioned yours too far back or forwards any way i had a problem because my car had twin headlights fitted and there was a gap, i phoned derek and the next day he came to the bodyshop and made the grill fit round the morettes,it took him about 1 hour, he said he'd done it before for his mates car, and the result was mint, i can't fault his parts i'm sick of my eyeballs being ripped out by other people, i went to his works and he makes a lot of architectural stuff from grp and its unbeleivable some of the things he makes and he only makes the subaru parts as people have went to him asking for bits made,i think we've got a good thing here i don't want to lose it, i bought a splitter from him that was cheaper than classic shape light covers from tsl!!!
forgot to say he never charged me to change the grill

sorry you had problems dan, you haven't replied to my mails, Ali you bought a grill from me last october, you've had it for almost SIX months why did you not contact me last year?, i'm going to try and get some pictures of one i fitted, unfortunately i can't make things idiot proof, i get people mailing me how do you fit bonnet vents its four bolts,exactly like the originals, i sell bug eye spoilers hundreds cheaper than anywhere else and get people mailing saying does that include painting, i don't mind answering any e mail no matter what and i try to answer as soon as i can. but try and help me out, Tell me! if you've got a problem i can't solve it, if i don't know about it,

derek,

Ive had a fair amount of stuff of you and ive never slagged any of it off..!!

From the start ive always said dereks stuff is top stuff and very well priced and this still stands..

Ive lost count of the amount of people ive given your email and details when there asking for something.

oak and johnpaul, what year was your car..???

It might just be the earlyer classic impreza's that there is a problem with. The facelift grill at 97 and at 99 wont fit an early classic impreza.. However dereks grill will fit any car from 97>

Derek you say you only changed the sides, and the copy was from an STI6 grill which has a different bonnet to the early impreza's.

Thanks for the 'idiot proof' remark if it was aimed at me..!! and as it turns out its the grill that is at fault, at least trying to fit it to a pre facelift bonnet impreza..

Notice the difference of the grill from the standard grill in the pic below..








It will fit cars from 97 on because there bonnet was different and you just fill the sides..

TSL do a front lip, does not look quite as good as the genuine P1 lip.

Dan i didn't aim my idiot proof remark at you,or anyone it was a bad choice of words, no offence meant, i just wanted to say i've fitted these grills the splitters i make the scoops everything in a short space of time and i meant how can i tell people to fit things which seem straight forward, it was just a phrase it wasn't meant as a offensive remark.

JohnPaul

my cars a 95, like i said the grill went straight on, derek came to the body shop and changed the sides because i have twin head lights fitted,the top was spot on,

looking sweet dh

dhorwich

no offence taken..!!!

Its not a problem anyway as the mroscoobystyling grill has no top part to it.

Dan

there is confusion over these grills, so i think the best things is not to sell anymore, i want to try to help people out by making parts at a reasonable price but i don't want people to get parts where like dan hes had to cut bits out, thats no good to anyone
problems aside Dan your car looks mint the grill looks good,you've done a good job with that jigsaw.

dhorwich

derek,

If its only my car that the problem was with then its not worth stopping selling it. johnpauls fitted fine so just put it down to my impatients...!!

I know I bought this 6 months ago and as I explained in the email I first sent you (perhaps if you had phoned me as I asked any misunderstandings could have been avoided) the only reason I didn't contact you before was because I hadn't tried to fit it (I don't have a garage and its a bit inclement over the winter). I am not trying to slag off your products I any very happy with the fog light covers you sold me, and I still agree that your prices are very good, however this doesn't alter the fact that the grill you sold me doesn't fit the car as intended and doesn't even look close (not a case of sanding)therefore I have asked for your help! again thanks for the Idiot proof comment (I think cutting the whole top off the thing is a LONG way from idiot proof).

Any of you guys that have this fitted to an early WRX (mine is MY93)I would apreciate a photo or two.


Still hoping to get this resolved

sorry to butt in but how much are these grills?
Six months!!!!!!!!!!!!!???????
dan when you say its you car how that man?

dhorwich

well i dont want to go into it on here...

It was probably down to my impatience..!!! thats one thing i was never blessed with...!!

They are about £40 which in my opinion even if it did need modding is bloody good value.

AliG

Warwick

the grill was £50 so good value if it fits!
