How hard to fit outback mud guards

Featured Replies

As above really....been quoted £80! by local stealer to fit a set of OEM guards. It can't be that difficult, surely?


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.

I agree...something I like to see too.

Will probs end up with OEM rear set from eBay and new front set from stealer

Fitted my OEM flaps from USA myself in the end....bit fiddly, but which jobs aren't!
