Yet that page lists:

For Model A〜C 2.0GTspecB、3.0RspecB、3.0R.


Am I correct in thinking that a Japanese "2.0GTspecB" would have the same grille size as the Australian 3.0r-b?

On reflection I think I like the Corazon look better, minus the badge. The oem one looks a little bit Falcon XR6 for my taste.


Japanparts have a few different options available if you go for the Corazon (which I think you should, I had one and they look awesome!)

The grille that lists the 2.0 GTspecB (applied model A-C) in it's item compatibility will fit your pre facelift 3.0r-b. There is another grille available on Japanparts for applied model A-C but that fits the 2.5i and GT.

Oh and PS; in Japan applied model A-C will always be for a pre facelift model. Applied model D-F will always be for a post facelift model.

Nice one, very helpful!

Now to get permission before the dollar drops...

I got fed up of trying to work out which grills would fit, plus shipping the wrong one to the UK wasn't really an option.

So I decided to make my own grill, heres how I did it. The only thing I would add to this build is after the hot melt glue has been used to locate the mesh, then cover the joint with a good silicone adhesive.

Not being that handy (!) I ordered the Corazon one from Japan before the AUD drops through the floor.

Will report back on fit and how it looks.

So this arrived - perfect fit, installation was pretty easy despite the instructions being 100% in Japanese.

Very happy with how it looks - the match to the factory paint is perfect and I think the recessed grill looks a bit classier than a standard sports grill with the mesh at the front:

Agreed. Was tempted to put the Subaru badge back on, but I think ghetto badgeless is the way.
