Polished Alloy Diff Guard
I have for sale a polished alloy diff guard to fit newage STI imprezas.
This has been sat in the garage for a while and under the car before that so it will need some polishing to get perfect
, but the hardwork has been done to give it the polished finish instead of the coarse brushed ali finish. This took me several hours to get it looking like this.
The fitting brackets are mild steel so have some surface rust, should be able to clean it off and give it a coat of hammerite.
The holes at the front of the guard have been countersunk for the bolts I used in my bracket. I fabricated one to fit the WRX as they sent me an STI fitting kit. I don't have any countersunk bolts that will fit the STI bracket so you would need to pop into B&Q and sort some if you want them countersunk. I have the hex nuts that came with it.
If you're local and popped around on a dry day I could have it fitted to your car in half an hour
I'll be asking for £50 plus postage SOLD

I'll do some measuring at the weekend and you can check it out. It is really straightforward to fit and won't take me long to measure the space between the mounting points on my diff

The main measurmment you need is between the bottom two bolts holding the diff cover in place...
It is the bottom 2 on this picture. If the distance between the centre of the 2 bolts is 60mm you have the WRX R160 diff and it won't fit. If it is 80mm then it will as you have the R180 diff. I don't think the diff lengths change.
If you are not in a rush I can hack a piece of angle iron up and make the bracket, but I'm not off work again for about 6 weeks so there would be a wait. It's too cold to do this in the evenings at the moment
