Does anybody know if these are available to buy? I know i could probably get vinyl ones made up but i would prefer to get the genuine ones if possible.

Try the above by sending a message, I managed to get a warning sticker for the rad on mine from Tom, he has contacts in Japan. Worth a go.

 

Give these guys a shout http://www.blackwatergraphics.com

Don Clark got me the exact measurements of the decal and i got them made up by these guys so they have the template for them and can post out to you.

Hard to get originals, i tried for ages

 

The "Type UK" stickers (as shown above) are a Subaru UK "add on" so pointless trying Japanese sources.

 

Thanks for the links, Don do you reckon I'd be able to get them from a main dealer? If all else fails I'll get in touch with the company Gambit mentioned.

 

You could try, but the graphics sorted by Gambit should be an exact copy from my original scans (warranty replacements back in 2011 but never fitted)






Never did see the finished product ........

 

Good point, best ignore my post, apologies.

 

Said decals as made up by blackwater to Dons template

 

They came out OK although the third one has a bit missing ........

 

yeah thats one that didnt come apart properly - not bad though as he sent me about 4 sets so handed them out to fellow local STI hatchers!

 

Which I still haven't fitted yet

 

Mine was missing the uk part when i bought my hatch so just removed the type part with thoughts of buying new never got round to it looks bare now too

 

They look good the originals are textured as if they are etched into the window are these made from a similar material or are they straight up smooth vinyl?

 

My originals were just plain vinyl.......

 

Oh right these are rough almost like sandpaper.

 

Mine were like that more like a etching armt they

 

Yes they aren't like any other sticker or decal I've seen before. I'd prefer the genuine stickers if possible I havent had time to call around about them yet. If all else fails I'll get in touch with the company in the link above.

 

Could it not be from weathering and washing and waxing over the years??

Vinyls have a limited life (3,5,10 years depending upon product)

 

@j3rvx - that is obviously the back of the sticker in my picture which has adhesive and is shiney. ill try to get you a pic at lunch of mine fitted.

as for looking for "genuine" ones, all you need to do is asked for "etched" styled graphics - which is probably what the IMGroup done when they got their batch done by a local graphics firm near them

Attached is a pic of my original ones fitted that i sent to Blackwater along with the template from Don, You can see does look etched but still looks like stuck on vinyl

I actually thought about sticking them on the inside of the window but wouldnt work on mine due to both factory tints & access to that specific area of the window

 

and then this is the ones made by Blackwater

tbh the stickers are a pain in the hole due to the wee fiddly bits which lift in no time

 

Mine came unstuck after the first frost they encountered

 

I managed to source some genuine ones £5.10 each

 

You bumped a thread to rub peoples noises in it lol

 

Not entirely just passing on some info for anyone else that needs/wants some, part number of these is SACC7604. I got them from eBay seller impartsb46

 

No longer listed so International Motors' (Subaru UK) ebay "parts clearance" seller has probably cleared remaining stock.

 

He does have more just need to message him and he'll list them.
