Andy665 0 Posted March 22, 2007 Overheard in a VW site yesterday "I wonder if you can give me the price on a drivers side door mirror glass on a MK5 Golf please" "No problem sir, I presume it's electrc" "Yes, its also auto dimming" "No problem, let me just check - right sir, that will be £185.90 + VAT" "I only wanted the glass, not the mirror housing and the f***ing door its attached to" "Fitting will be another £45 + VAT" Makes some Rado prices seem reasonable Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted March 22, 2007 That, frankly, is disgusting. I guess VAG feel now that they have released a successful Bugatti, they can start pricing parts across the range to match! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dinkus 10 Posted March 23, 2007 Blimey! And I thought the mirror glass for a Corrado was expensive at £40+ VAT! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted March 23, 2007 Makes some Rado prices seem reasonable What you mean - £200 for a coilpack, £500 for a slam panel, £8.50 for one spark plug, £22 for one HT lead, £500 for a throttle body? Yeah, very reasonable :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lippy 0 Posted March 23, 2007 I remember when the merc came out with the all in one mirrors (indicators, auto dim, heated, make tea) - they cost a small country to replace due to all the electrical gubbins inside them. you only need em to see behind you - and for some people they still remain "brand new, unused" :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Supercharged 2 Posted March 23, 2007 There was a thing in Autoexpress about this a few weeks ago - it's not just VW it's most manufacturers with the auto dimming etc, they were on about adding it to the windscreen policy's on your insurance...
