Help
Hi folks, I'm from the UK and have had a few Legacy turbo's and a handful of Imprezas (sorry). My current squeeze is a replica of Colins New Zealand car, it's not too bad but would benefit from a s1 front bumper (hint hint).
I'm not a real big talker to be fair but I'll chirp in from time to time if I can lend any help.
Cheers Steve.

Hey Steve welcome along! And don't worry about apologising for owning Imprezas either. Still a damn fine vehicle.

Yep there are very few s1 turbo parts here. I got a replacement bumper and a few bits for mine from Subits? in Auckland. Fortunately I knew of a container that was coming back to the uk.
TBH I thought that Steve most of the UK supply of s1 parts already

Hi Dacer, what would you want for the 2 bumpers? Gen 1 Series 1 stuff is very very difficult to come by so we have to shop around the world unfortunately
Amazing that the Rallycars were built here but the S1 was never available here!!!

welcome bro and very nice ride u have there! Yes we have a lot of parts in NZ for the gen1 or S1
so good to see people from overseas coming onto DOBC..........we have a few now
A pre facelift bumper shouldn't be too hard to package up and get over to you........................someone here will just have to do the pricing for you
Welcome to the brown side!!

Talk to Strong for Subaru. They are pretty much the official unofficial sponsor for DOBC. Mention the blokes at DOBC sent you and they should give a modest price.
Welcome btw! Mint legacy! But it still has an interior, colins car did not have an interior. hint hint nudge nudge
