As the title says - quite reasonable pricing I think

"The hatch pins are £3.31 each inc VAT. On those though I would normally supply the rubber mountings in behind, the nuts and the washers for them. This would bring each side up to £8.04 inc. but does make the job easier."

Lastly the outer lower scraper rubbers, they are £18.32 each again including the VAT.

Nice one Richy.

I think we need to make a concerted effort to get everyone to check the dealer first. There are far too many aftermarket suppliers charging more than Porsche do in a blatant RIP OFF of us poor impoverished owners!

Don't forget to show your membership cards, most OPC's will give us 10% off parts as well.

I always check OPC's first, i find prices very reasonable, the best thing is that nearly every part is still available, and will post it for cost , so you don't get ripped off with the postage too.
