Went down the local scrappies today and had a look round.

Picked up some colour coded mirrors and a GSi boot spoiler.

The price inc VAT for everything? £75

the mirrors and spoiler are the same colour as my car so bargain! Fitted the mirrors today, getting the spoiler fitted next weekend. Well chuffed

Also a pic of the momo wheel I fitted and clocks with a rev counter. The rev counter doesn't work at present but will do when I get my engine fitted.

What ya reckon? Cheers

£75 from a scrappy is a disgrace

ah well I thought it was a good price. for a set of mirrors and a spoiler that didn't need spraying. The £75 quid is for the rear spoiler AND a set of mirrors in my car's colour so doesn't need spraying etc. I see spoilers on ebay go for £45 posted. :S

crazy prices. If you pay more than a fiver per item from a scrapyard, its generally too much

spoliers go on ebay for 45 cos it aint a scrappy,

scrap yards dont make money out of bits of plastic, they make they're money from scrap metal

you just found a greedy guy,

apart from the price tho, the car looks good

I originally thought it was fair, considering I don't have to pay for spraying etc. I'm happy enough

Cheers for the comment

£75 isnt that bad at all when you consider you dont have to get it sprayed and/or wait for a cheap set on here or Ebay then P&P etc etc.

Will do wonders for the look of your corsa too, well done matey
