I saw a sti like mine recently and it had black mouldings halfway up the door to prevent door dings, and at the front of the front door ones it said STI on them.You know where i mean, in the crease half way up the doors!

Does anyone know where i can get these as where i live it seems to be a hobby to ding peoples doors in Tesco car park!

Also can anyone recommend a good garage in Ayrshire , preferably near Irvine with experience of Subarus?

Cheers

 

from what you've described, surely that will only really work for you opening your doors to stop dinging into theirs?

you're probably looking for something that goes along the length of the doors horizontally to stop other people hitting your car when opening their doors?

 

I was meaning the horizontal crease i the door ! Its like a body moulding

 

ah yes i know what you mean now, got confused when i saw "halfway up the door" you mean one of these things on the door: http://www.cheapcarinsuranceforyoung...eugeot-206.jpg, right? (yes ignore the fact its a pug 206 pic!)

 

Demon tweeks used to sell stuff like that! Check out their website

 

i knew i'd seen it on a scooby before, this: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3452141.htm is where i saw it from, no idea how to get one though

 

Subaru UK used to do one for the Classic..........

 

might have to call my dealer to see if they can get that part in (perfect as i have a classic), next question would be colour code or not in the rb5's 86F..

 

The were similar to that but a bit more rounded and had sti at the front

 

I had the genuine Subaru part which cost around £50 five years ago. I don,t think that it did a lot for the cars looks, but it kept my Classic dent free. Steve.

 

i have em on mine, fitted from new as a dealer accesory, looks naff imo, but does save car park ***** oopps sorry dings....was thinking of having em removed

 

think you mean these Side Protector Moulding (sorry did not know which scoobie you have)

yep those are the ones.....how easy would it be to remove em? hairdryer??? must be glued on, hopefully they wont hurt the paint

 

The one i saw was similar to this but in black

http://www.buysubaruaccessories.com/...e-molding.html

 

They are held on with double sided foam tape, best way I found when in the body shop was masking tape either side to protect the paint, hair drier or carefully used heat gun and get plenty of heat into the moulding. Then use a filler spreader to carefully get behind it and slowly remove - don't be tempted to pull the moulding off once you get the edge free as this can mishape it, just keep using heat and the spreader. You could possibly use plastic coated electrical wire instead. Then use panel wipe to remove the remaining adhesive tape from the door

 

I reckon these are what you are after............



If still available from Subaru UK price may be different as this is from their old website.............

Thats them, tried the Indomino site but not responding

 

Works fine for me........

As i said price will probably be old................

 

Im on a ship at the moment and cant access certain things here, Do you think these ae easily available from dealers?

 

Just need someone to check with your local dealer if they are still available from Subaru UK.

 

Holy thread revival Batman!

Has anyone ordered any of these in recently?

I have some fitted to my 2005 Impreza & one of them could do with replacing...

OR ... should I just remove the lot?

 

The car looks better without them. I had some on my Classic and they did the job very well. I,ve just ordered some for my Blob so I think that answers your question. Steve.

 

Imparts on eBay have some which are genuine and cheap
