Interested but certainly not at ?120, how about also appealing for those that aren't interested in "bling", so it would come plain, not chromed, not polished... in order for it to be sprayed black.

Seems a fair whack of that ?120 is because it looks so pretty

Then i'll be intersted, Let me know - ta!

Scrap that, looking at the strut top plates, it'd cause too many problems with eccentric top mounts not being central.

?120 is a bit steep, I'd be interested but I could get one made up localy for less

Chaps, the honest answer is i don't know whether they will fit or not. Failing that, put your names down to get us to 10 and find out:thumb: lol

Thats how much they were 8 years ago...... I thought it was quite fair staying at the same price??

krobinson
09-01-08, 08:05 PM
I think thats a good price to be honest, the work gone into making these is unreal. They've been copied by that company that made alloy cages before but it was an awful copy.

C'mon people!!

I have bad news, I don't know if they're gonna be viable as they're gonna cost 140 quid each I'm afraid.

The raw materials are more expensive than last time he made them. Still need a minimum 10 orders. If we can get 20 orders I can get a tenner off each one so they'd be 130 quid....................................

Anybody still want one??

31-01-08, 10:22 PM
ill ask the guy i was getting it for, but im sure he will pay that as he has the rear brace and cage so he wants this to match

Since we never made the 10 deposits, this is now officially a failed group buy.

Please PM me the details of your deposits and they will be returned.
