How do I buy an STi part for my WRX from Subaru?
Why is it so difficult to order a part with the dealers?
I called up the other day to order a pair of STi foglight covers for my 2006 WRX.
He asked for my reg but it was not recognised on the system as it is a private plate.
He then asked me for my chassis number which I gave him.
About 15 minutes later he phones back as explains that there is no such part available for my car. I tell him that the part will not come under that chassis number as obviously it is not a standard part for the WRX, but that it will 100% fit.
Nevertheless, he explains the only part available for my car is the fog surround.
Now how do I go about ordering the part?
I was thinking of just going on Pistonheads and grabbing an STi reg off there to give to the guy.

Called around and one of the dealers in London quoted me £75 PER cover
That's £150 for two small bits of plastic!!!
Not so sure about getting it from the stealers now.
Anyone know of any Subaru scraps?
I've tried Japperformanceparts, scoobybits, and adgespeed.
