Pat_McCrotch 0 Posted December 28, 2011 (edited) Hi all, After discussions with the head of marketing at VW Classic Parts in Germany I am pleased to announce that the Marriott Motor Group will be the first VAG UK agent to be listed as a VW Classic/Audi Tradition Parts Importer :) My original inquiry was in the light of the ridiculous markups which VW Heritage are putting on Classic Parts and also because I have an increasing amount of customers who cannot get parts for their Audi 80's, Coupes and A4's. Being a Corrado owner the problem also affects me as well ;) The reality of making it work though is to have a minimum amount of £100 per order for lines that we don't hold in UK stock and this is due to the hefty courier charges that VW Germany add. Therefore, I thought the best way to get the best deal for people would be to bulk buy to get better value :) So hopefully here is the first of many! I am of course open to suggestions as to what you would like in the next ones. The benefits for you will be; - Average saving of 5-8% which in this case is achieved by being able to bulk buy the items and absorb the carriage costs. - 2% of each Group Buy will be donated to the forum running costs. So you will actually be giving something back to the forum! - The sadder fact, it could be your last chance to buy! The chrome VW rear emblems which I was planning to have as part of the first Group Buy have now finished for good :( Payment To pay for the items, please contact myself (Neil) on 01473 556306 as soon as possible between 9am and 5pm on weekdays for card payment. I will also require your username to update this list. All items will be sent recorded delivery and include UK delivery (Highlands and other countries at extra cost). PLEASE NOTE THAT ITEMS WILL BE SUPPLIED ON A FIRST BOUGHT, FIRST SERVED BASIS. I CAN GET MORE OF THESE ITEMS AT A LATER DATE BUT THEY WILL BE SLIGHTLY MORE EXPENSIVE DUE TO NOT BEING BOUGHT IN BULK. Group Buy 1 Items; Rear trim for licence plate x10* 535 813 989 Price including UK postage: £59.00 ETA: Mid January * Note: You will need x4 of part number 171853939 to fit this. Can be supplied for an additional £3.00 Glovebox cover strip x10 535 858 119 01C The glovebox strip is a small piece of plastic which breaks when removed to access the glovebox screws. So many Corrado's have had glovebox removals for Alarm fitments and Heater Matrix's that many people do not even realise it is a missing part. Price including UK postage: £12.75 ETA: Late January Rear VW Emblem - Black x10 357 853 601 B 041 Price including UK postage: £8.69 Rear VR6 badge - silver x15 3A0 853 675 Z10 Price including UK postage: £8.80 ETA: Early February G60/VR6 Radiator elbow & Seal x10 535 121 647 & 535 121 687 Price Including UK postage: £12.50 ETA: Early January Facelift Front Grille x2 535853653A01C Price Including UK postage: £54.00 ETA: Early January Rear trim for licence plate Quantity available: 10 1. 3corsameal 2. billcorr 3. wormy 4. vaghag 5. lilfuzzer 6.

joebloggsVR69 0 Posted December 28, 2011 Hi, don't take this the wrong way, but I recently bought the rear VR6 badge and glovebox cover strip from VW Heritage for slightly cheaper than you're getting them from Classic Parts DE - are you sure they're doing you a good deal?

Pat_McCrotch 0 Posted December 28, 2011 (edited) Hi, don't take this the wrong way, but I recently bought the rear VR6 badge and glovebox cover strip from VW Heritage for slightly cheaper than you're getting them from Classic Parts DE - are you sure they're doing you a good deal? Hi mate, these prices include recorded postage? Of course if people buy more than one item (e.g. plinth and badge) it will work out cheaper for them. I'll try and work out some kind of postage calculator for this by the end of the day so people can work out reductions :) ---------- Post added at 01:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:06 PM ---------- Updated the first post. Postage Calculator Postage is already included in a single line price. The total cost can be reduced based on how many lines you buy due to cheaper postage cost. 2 lines = £2.00 reduction 3 lines= £3.00 reduction Edited December 29, 2011 by Pat_McCrotch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joebloggsVR69 0 Posted December 28, 2011 The package Heritage sent was via Royal Mail, and I had to sign for it, so I assume it was sent recorded. Bought a few other bits from them at the same time, like the rad elbow and some other trim bits :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dragon green 5 Posted December 28, 2011 I`m lucky enough not to need anything on this group buy, But could i say a BIG thankyou to Neil (pat) for sorting this out,His passion and determination to keep the Corrado going is second to none. Heritage are not interested in our cars,not in my experience with them ! thanks mate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted December 28, 2011 (edited) Agreed. This is absolutely brilliant work by Neil, and all I can say is THANK GOD there are enthusiasts like him working within VW/Audi group - cause frankly Volkswagen themselves wouldn't have lifted a single finger to help make this happen, the useless sh!tes. Neil - I'm down for: * Rear VR6 badge * Read elbow & seal I will give you a call after new year to arrange payment. Many thanks again for your hard work on this.
