I've seen Impreza bash plate assemblies - they're an easy google. But I was under the impression alloy was more commonplace than a plastic composite.

How is it attached? Is it bolted, drilled, what? Are the plates reinforced to the chassis in such a way that it cold cause damage if not done properly?

It's it's simply a matter of getting some plastic sheets and attaching them with cable ties, I'm wondering why even bother?? What I want to do is sposed to be the real deal.

Tough. Bolted. Metal.

Does anyone have any specs on weight?

Cheers

Superu - thanks for your input. I'm using alloy plate, just coz the weight difference is small enough but the toughness difference is significant.

Neutron - thanks again. You've been a great help to me in the past.

A - have you done anything to strengthen the plastic liners in the fenders? They seem rather frail to me, for slinging mud or making big puddle splashes.

No, I have not. And I am not sure what you are referring to, to be honest. The fenders are where? the underside of the body, or the wheel well? I am losing the plastic insulating the underside of my front left wheel arch coz I've come down on that side rather hard, and more than once, I believe. I need to get that re-attached.

I have an optional extra in the under-engine, plastic splash/rock guard. It's as old as the car, and so I've had it re-attached more than once just with cable ties. Last time a new anchor point had to be drilled into guard to fasten it. It's got to go!

Be please enlighten me - what specifically can you show me RE the fender liners?

ThanksLizard

Superu has just given me some places to start looking. Thanks!
