when i have had experience with dealers in the past, i have usually had a rought time dealing with them, whether it be them selling me cars with knackered springs or crappy service......i soon hated dealers!

for the past month i have been looking for clips to attatch my gte skirts to my nova, easy ithought!

went to dealers in selby, "nah, don't do them any more!" bugger

went to a bodyshop "we don't touch clips mate" good bodyshop then!

went to ebay, can't find any of them

forums, nah, no one has any to offer

phoned vauxhall uk, the stupid operator couldn't locate them on the parts register thats it i thought

as a last ditch effort passed my local dealership (glews in goole), cos i have heard theyre one of the best vaux dealers. told me they had four on stock, but could get me a full set as required for this morning, just had a call saying they're in stock! and at 24p inc vat per clip, they go down in my book as legends!

i now have a dealership i like!!!!!

lol we've got a full set you could have had. Someone nicked one of the skirts but left the clips, and the car's going anyway.

They've lulled you in to a false sence of security. Your going to turn up and then they will give you the wrong set of clips lol

really, do not say that!!!

i am taking a skirt in to see if they clip up!

he seems sure, he has just rebuilt the gte he bought new when he started working for vaux, and theyre the clips he used!

and at 24p a piece, i may as well go new!
