steve_16v 0 Posted January 15, 2007 whats the crack with GPC, their website seems out of date to me??? The GPC website it well known for being crap, in fact I don't think it's ever been updated, the price for front splitters has been incorrect for years.

Mystic Rado 0 Posted January 15, 2007 They're slightly cheaper from a main dealer than the German fella. Around 25 quid inc VAT, I think, but there's not much in it. There are, apparently, several C leather gear knobs listed, which confused the dealer a bit. Then he apologised for it being so expensive, I was quite happy really. A few months of Corrado ownership and I've started regarding anything less than three figures as being a bit of a bargain. Is that sad or just a sympton of Corrado ownership. What, only 25 quid... a snip :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Bowen 1 Posted January 15, 2007 i paid over £50 for a gearknob to put in my first car, a crappy old C-reg nova :lol: so £27 seems a bargin to me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oxfordpaul 0 Posted January 15, 2007 I paid £17 plus VAT from the dealers before Xmas and got £19 for the old one on Ebay! I was really surprised at how cheap they were but when I asked about the steering wheel that was over £400!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Bowen 1 Posted January 16, 2007 i'm a fool :lol: i didn't really think to try the dealers, am used to going to vauxhall with old cars and they were just useless so i gave up with dealers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Bowen 1 Posted January 20, 2007 got it now, think the old one had seen better days for the petrol cost it would of been to travel to dealers there's probably not much in it tbh, not that £27 is bank breaking, am happy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
