Hello. The carbon fibre stone chip guard that i want to sell is supplied by vw. Its a geniune vw part designed for the mk5. I do not know why vw uk dont supply it or why other companies dont supply this product. I am still doing my research on this product though and will have more info when my vw parts guy gets stock. Mike

Not to be jerk or anything, but what's the VW part #? I'm aware of many of the SA-availability bits (my rear trim plate is one for instance) but have never encountered this.

Dirty Five:
I mean this is the nicest way possible, but you really shouldnt waste your time and resources on this. The retail sector is brutal at best and these are testing times for any business.

Your bringing to market, something that is already available, all be it overseas. By the time you sort the supply then you'll need to worry about HRM customs an excise, you will hemerage profit from every pore when you get to this point.

The biggest problem i can see, is the fact the product is just for the mk5 golf, who's going to buy one? Most enthusiasts and tuners/barrys have limited funds at the moment as a lot of people are being put out of jobs. The lust for buying parts will still be there but the funds wont.

As a group buy or something in small numbers yes, but you wont make any profit on them.

As i say im not trying to be an arse i'm just trying to help  :smiley:

RedRobin:
^^^^

I think that Dirty Five is being realistic - There's no point in being anything but honest in an opinion, even if it's not what you want to hear.

You'd stand more chance with a product which isn't available from other sources.

08micsta:
Hello guys. I appreciate everyones advice. The idea of this was to get a feel for what potential buyers would be interested in. Evidently there is no market for this in the uk and I therefore wont stock it. Thats what makes research so important. I felt that it was an oppertunity that needed to be taken which is why I also believe in being positive. The  worst that can happen is a potential buyer will say they dont like it or belittle the product. Its etto and i  thank everyone for their contribution. Mike
