Default Fitting fog lamps and covers on classic sti

Hi guys thought i would put up this as i went to put in my new multicolored fog lights in and proceeded to fit my covers back over the new fogs, but they don't fit.

I'm not sure if brackets are available so i fabricated some,
now i can have my fogs underneath no problems

Don't bother with PIAA.
Osram Nightbreaker, Philips Extreme and Ring 120% uprated all do the same job for less ££££

Even Halfords Ultra Brilliance are good, but only worth it on BOGOF.

What will it cost you to export it?

Ill have a look at those then, thanks

My mate works for a shipping company in Southampton, he does all the car import/export paperwork so getting really good deal, import to Aus is only a $50AUD application fee as im an Australian citizen, in total about $1800AUD landed $2500ish driving

Because it its a STI type r, Subaru Australia only ever released 400 in blue and white so can only be bought as a personal import after use and ownership of 12months abroad.

We have family in Sydney, Queensland and Perth.

Yep definitely and mines silver not blue or white, and very low miles, no way to import them unless you are Australian citizen, proof you live in the UK for more than a year and use the car, tax and insurance documents, but worth the paperwork i think. Going to take some parts back too

I'm from Adelaide but going to relocate to Perth and open my own workshop
