haha that makes several of us that might be looking for one, I think

Good luck guys! These are hard to come by because they don't make them in aluminium anymore. MY07+ onwards saw the bonnet move to steel (heavier).

Are you saying Subaru do not have stock of these? They did six months ago - and in aluminium too.

Cadud, isn't your insurance company dealing with this? or is that a bad question?

Subaru would still be stamping out bonnets from the 2003 MY04+ Models, they need to have spare parts for a minimum 7 years. I work for ford, and theres still stamping out Spare parts for the BA/BF Models.

All parts are available, but it all comes down to pulling out the wallet.

LOL! Looks like my smash repair place didn't want to spend extra on the aluminium.

Insurance?

Aren't they meant to return the car to pre-damaged condition?

Is the bonnet the same for pre- and post-facelift?

Should be the same fit. Just different metals.

Yup, exact fit. Just different metals.

Maybe I can get mine in titanium... or silicon carbide

To get a bonnet custom made in either titanium or silicon carbide (which they make turning tips out of for high speed lathe/ mill maching), sounds ridiculous, and veryyy pricey!! - And all this for saving a few kilos...?

Perhaps, eat a little less maccas, and concentrate on losing the fat around ur mis-section, its free - and ur care will perform better too

(THIS ISNT A DIRECT STAB AT YOU)

it was a joke... you know from when Clarkson was reviewing the Porsche Carrera GT and kept creaming himself everytime he mentioned silicon carbide? Also - I HAVE lost fat around my mid-section: 16kg to be exact, since Jan last year
