Just fittied my new Beetle sport ali door pins. Quality mod for next to nowt[|)] and better than any after market ones

?2.02 each from the dealers

 

[fatbob]

mmm. I think you've just persuaded me when i get paid this month...

 

[GeordieLife]

I picked mine up today...will probably fit them tomorrow

 

[b19prm]

if you look on ebay you can get them for the bargain price of between 6 and 10 pound a pair i was nearly ready to buy some when i phoned my mate at the dealers and he told me they were 3.00 the pair in vat (i got the Skoda ones)

 

[TouranMan]

Ian & Stew, which dealer are you getting your stuff from? Dava on here needs a new headlight for his Passat and he got quoted ?130+VAT from Benfield and ?93+VAT from Mill in Sunderland! Quite a difference!

 

[GeordieLife]

I use BenFOOLd cos they're close. I've got a client in Sunderland but I hardly ever go on site any more...How the FOOK do they get away with such a price difference? He tried Pulmans? I've always found them expensive but they do a good job. Morpeth BenFOOLd have been the most friendly thus far...they did my towbar and valance.

 

[TouranMan]

It's stupid really but I bet if you contacted all the local Benfield branches for prices they'd all be different. It's the same for servicing apparently, NETDI got a quote from the Silverlink branch and the Scotty road one for a service and got 2 differnet prices!!!

Where abouts are you Stew? I'm in Blyth.

 

[GeordieLife]

I'm in Forest Hall now...Silverlink is closest...hate one of the lads behind the counter. "I'm sooo MINT cos i work in a stealers"...***

Like I said, the lads at Morpeth were the best...owt to help!

Think we're going to have to arrange a few cheeky pints one night...shandy obviously so we can drive! Meet the NE lads...apart from MikeP...he's trouble that one! (only kiddin mate)...

 

[nudda]

?3.60 for a pair from the main dealer [8D]

 

[MikeTDI]

do you have to take the door cards off to fit them?

 

[umrelt]

They simply unscrew.............take about a minute a side if that.

 

[GeordieLife]

I can't unscrew mine...can't say I tried hard...will go out later and have a bash

 

[MikeTDI]

HMMMMMM, do i, dont i?

 

[GeordieLife]

Go on Mike...?4.05 for 2 pins from a stealer...BARGAIN!
