How hard to fit outback mud guards

OEM guards fit easily, certainly diy job. £80 is theft, half that would be realistic.

You may need take wheel off for better access but besides that no major hassle & OEM flaps come with fittings & little fitting guide.

Example of fitting guide below but for forester >

You going for black guards ? do come in body colours but easily scuffed & then looks awful.

Black is more durable long term & still fits in well as lower bumper & sills are finished in black.

How much are the guards for full set !

£122 for the full set, but some rears on eBay for £40 at minute. Full set delivered from USA is £97, but would I have to pay import duty on top of that? The eBay seller suggests as much

didn't pay import on my forester bumper cover from US but is a bit hit & miss pending on shipping they use & package declaration.

£122 seems a lot but OEM quality & fit is hard to beat & being a rare vehicle not many if any decent alternatives.

Only real problem with Subaru is dealer pricing on everything, no idea why they can't quote realistic labour prices :-/

Worth doing guards though & something I love to see on a used car if I'm buying it as really makes huge difference to lower & under body condition.
