big bumper lower spoiler from ebay?
« on: 11 July 2009, 18:58 »
I could do with new lower spoilers... couple from ebay:

£48.98 total

£54.98 total
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=390061397192

Has anyone bought these from either seller before? any recommendations/rejections? both seem pretty expensive tbh

Regards

sh!t in a bucket man! Don't buy either.

Many people on here inc myself have bought from Lesbray and he is a trusted seller, although i do think thats a ridiculous price. I wouldn't by feck from Poland either.

I bought a brand new splitter through e bay a couple of yrs ago and paid £20. If their going for £50 now then what a rip off. As said look elsewhere or go 2nd hand. :smiley:

thanks for the advice chaps. I will keep an eye out for decent genuine second hand ones on ebay and the forum. I think the current ones I have on my car aren't genuine as they dont fit well!

Jeez! I should have sold the lower spoiler on the crap BB set I bought for £30, I would have been £20 up !  :grin:

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

The big bumpers inc the spolier went in the skip. Worst £30 I spent on that car, especially for items listed as MINT :angry:

ah that sucks, I hate it when they list things as mint when clearly they aren't! Might just go down the scrappies and nab a lower spoiler.
