Sammy C Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Hi guys, I'm after a front lip spoiler for my 06 forester sti. I've seen quite a few on google images and think they subtly lmprove the looks of the front end, providing they're sprayed the same colour. I'm finding it quite hard to find somewhere to buy one though! Anyone have one or know someone/somewhere best to get one? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy C Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 I'm basically after this! http://news.hspn.com/articles/139/1/STi-Announces-Forester-Front-Lip-Spoiler-Sale/Page1.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Front splitter I call them but can be called valance, lips, spoilers, I've seen some nice Foresters with them on. I think you would need to get a Subaru Impreza or a Legacy one and have it fitted but could be wrong I will do some searching 1st I did see this not sure how well it works but might give the look you want with less cost http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SUBARU-FRONT-BUMPER-CHIN-SPOILER-VALANCE-SPLITTER-LIP-BODY-AIR-DAM-WING-/321200625932?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3AForester&hash=item4ac90c990c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 If you are on a budget go for the option Gambit suggested if not look at JDM options or something like this from AU http://www.ultrex.com.au/subaru-forester-front-lip-my06my07-p-241.html?zenid=2cda1d915021e3d3929a96fb30aba1c2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy C Posted December 28, 2013 Author Share Posted December 28, 2013 Thanks guys! the budget option does seem a very straightforward solution although I doubt you'd be able to spray it? I've just come across this which looks like it would fit but it's so !Removed! expensive! http://j-w-racing.co.uk/shopimages/products/normal/fl0809sbfs-v-cf-3.jpg I'll carry on looking and might make some calls...

Sammy C Posted December 28, 2013 Author Share Posted December 28, 2013 This is quite smart but again I don't know where I'd get hold of one :/ http://www.autogespot.co.uk/subaru-forester-sti/2012/02/16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gambit Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Carbon fibre by the looks of it then or wrapped to look like it is. 2nd one I would say they have bought one for an Impreza and a body shops fitted it. but will have a better look today :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 looks like a full carbon fibre one - id go for the value one then save for that carbon one - looks the mutts!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy C Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share Posted January 5, 2014 Ok so guys I decided to go for the cheap eBay job. Thought I'd give my opinion for anyone who might be considering going down this route.... The material wasn't what I was expecting; I thought it would be similar to a wiper blade gasket like material but it's basically a spongy foam material. Looks like it will rip easily and flex easily due to air resistance. I'm not expecting it to last long... I took a snap this morning - excuse the fact that I haven't got round to cleaning the car! I payed around £25 from eBay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Well quality aside it does set the front off - now all you need is a days to go countdown to when you can order the carbon fibre beasty :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I agree looks like the real thing on the picture, I guess time will tell how long it will last for but I do like the look of it on :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
