well, yes, but when a company makes a intercooler for one marque at say £400, but then makes a very simillar sized one (if not smaller and nothing more technically different to justify expense) for say a VW then charge £700 + i cant see how they get away with it !!, well i can because the owners are prepared to pay for it, but you wouldnt pay more for your petrol than say a Ford owner would you ?

I don't agree.  Look at JKMs price for the R32 front brakes (link in the original post) - JKM want £700 + VAT.  These same bits can be got a fair amount cheaper elsewhere.  :rolleyes:

i understand what your saying, but thats just usually how the world spins.

a good example of this:

my friend works in JJB  (:lipsrsealed:) and they have some addidas trainers in there in red and blue, the red ones are priced 10 pounds more expensive because they are more popular. but cost the exact same to make.

also most things that people buy on here can be found alot cheaper with abit of research, as TT has pointed out with JKM, also awesome sell the ed30 front splitter for 70 pounds more than VW.  :shocked:

Agreed, but JKMs £700 for the front brakes is really taking the p!ss when you can get the same stuff for around £550 - even less with the forum discount - http://www.vwspeed.co.uk/volkswagen/vw-parts/Mk5_Golf_R32_345mm_Front_Brake_Kit-2224-323.html.  So how do JKM justify an extra £150 ???

the thing is we need more info like this to help us realise such price differences, plus there needs to be more group buys  :cool:
