Is this really right? £52, retail £242???

Surely someones having a laugh...

 

[Pabs]

and i didnt think it would fit an LC - LCR has different mount points?

the carbon bits makes em dear

you're right, inlet is on the wrong side for a cupra

 

[Pabs]

so really £242 retail? Thats f00kin mad..

Sure pete (iceman) was trying to get rid of one for MUCH less than the current price recently?

And its not even real carbon fibre! Can't see it being that much in all honesty.

 

[Mad Spoons]

no way is one of those 250 sheets. saying that found someone selling a new standard front splitter for an LCR and somone had bid £24 quid, i am sure someone told me they were about 28 quid from the stealers

 

[Pabs]

no, the splitters are £18 from a dealer, not £28. Ebay is insane for those...

But does just seem mad that bidding's already hit £56 odd for a std engine cover - you can pick up forge carbon fibre ones for £100 all in.. probably cheaper 2nd hand too!

i am sure people just get giddy on ebay and presume they are getting a bargain. might go and buy a load of splitters and stick on ebay, looks like a good money making scheme to me.

Actually, it is.

They wouldn't bother to put the weave on both sides of a fake

Been done many times mate - but do it spread out across a period of time - if you put them all close-ish together then they don't all reach a good price - i've seen some go for only £17 odd.

Same as the Leon rear boot badges - ebayer's from germany seem to have latched onto this now and have flooded the bay with em.

i dunno about the current price but back when they first came out that particular item was nearly double what he reckons













and no im not kidding either

i can assure you it is £250 from a dealer. plus you need the raiser brackets and a thicker neck for the oil filler cap to raise it up to the correct level. comes out at about £300 all in!! i was seriously thinking about it for my ibiza back in the day!!

i got one for £20 in the end!! but never fitted it and sold it on for £50

Well it doesn't look it when side by side with my BMC CDA which is real carbon fibre!!

 

[m0rk]

different weave.

the small lower manifold bit was even dearer from memory
