i think they are just running down stock, its not a part a lot of owners buy due to the cost and fitting issues.
the cost on the site is only half of it, then you need to pay import duty and get the ****** fitted.

that said its a great mod and as a wrx owner with a stick on ebay vent told me.

"whats the point when you can get a stick on ebay one for ten times less"


this is the difference between the enthusiast and the sioc boys
if you have too ask you wont understand.....

True tubbs

But thought car makers only kept making or held stock of items upto 10 years or so

Also sure they get there parts direct from subaru

As when I wanted some Prova items they had to order them for me

Could be wrong

But had to buy it just in case

Your lucky as I've got to get the ****** painted too lol

i know i had one of the last wr blue ones and that was over 2 years ago now.
not sure on the ten year thing but if thats true the vent is the same on bugs through to hawks so they should keep it for a couple more years.
any luck on seats yet?

you are aware that the wr1 is the same?, no airbags at all as i saw someone claimed.
the front seats were identical to my blue sti ones bar the colour and the rear has the armrest ski hatch too.
