I haven't found them any cheaper than that...   be interesting to see if anyone has purchased them cheaper, from a reliable supplier, elsewhere?

i chatted to the guys at autosport from dodo juice, really sounds guys. andyway they had bucket/grit gaurd combos, nicely stickered up as well and remember thinking they were cheaper than normal. might be worth hunting out.

actually not so cheap:

cool though, they do say they might do bulk buy/deals so if enough people want them it might be worth me or someone else chatting to them? i'd probably be up for a set.

thoughts?

They look cool ,but still spending £30 on buckets, when you can get two for £2 in most places. As for gril guards there must be something around similar.

bought some of the Dodo Juice buckets the other week

biggest problem is postage - its like £7.  Dom @ Dodo said that the packaging to protect them in transit is expensive

bit expensive but they do look funky (for a bucket!) i'll try and get some pics up later

AFAIK Grit Guard are the ONLY manufacturers of the grit guard  :undecided:

ok well if anyone else wants some, put your name down so i can go to them with some sort of idea of how much we are likely to be able to get them for.

if the postage is alot then that could be sorted by getting them delivered to one place and distributed at a show maybe?

Post by: Yuley on 26 January 2009, 11:39
yeh that dnt sound like a bad idea. how many do you think we will need for a group buy roughly?
