Opinions on carbon fibre bits

[Scoobyweb]

What is peoples general opinion on carbon fibre bits. I need new front grille pieces for my Impreza. I only need 2 of the three pieces but these are going to cost over

Nothing ventured nothing gained :!:

Have you tried any Subaru breakers for the parts :?:

[Scoobyweb]

I have tried daily to find parts at the breakers and ebay, Parts for the 06 models are like rocking horse sh*t. I have managed to get a sub frame, bonnet, and bumper beam which will have saved me nearly

I would say definitely mate but im a bit biased on carbon!!
If you dont like the look then spray them the same colour of your car and it will be cheaper stronger and lighter than stock anyway.

I am not a fan of carbon but it will work out much cheaper for me to replace with these.

[Stuart]

I have to say that I think they are 'ok', but nothing special. Do you actually need to replace your grille or is it just an aesthetic thing?

Sorry Chris. Not feeling very cute and cuddly towards adding carbon for non-performance related needs. I'll have another drink.................


...........I may change my mood

Yes Stuart I need to replace 2 of the sections as they are damaged (Binned the car at Cadwell) along with bumper, lights, bonnet, wings and some metalwork at the front So the parts bill is horrendous. I am trying to source the parts myself without having to pay dealer prices and by buying the carbon ones it will save me nearly
