Do you do anything for Vauxhalls, specifically Astras by any chance?
Sarcasm for free. Anything after that can only be considered as a bonus.

Just because you think you know something, doesn't make you an expert if you've just read it on the internet, y'know.

I can get some stuff. What year are you wanting it for and is there anything in particular?

I think I've worked out what the other retailer has done with their price and they might get a shock when they sell an item. I would lose money at that price and I don't think there are different trade prices for different retailers.

Well I dropped the other seller a line and asked him to confirm the price was correct, as one of his competitors seemed to be way over the top of his price. He went and checked, and just got back to me with a confirmation that his prices on the website are "current and correct" (his exact wording). So why are you so expensive?

The only thing I can think is they are getting a different price to me as I would seriously lose money at that price.

Working prices out from this manufacturer can be quite confusing and if they have the same prices as me then they would be in for a nasty shock when they come to pay for it.

Even Cut the area above the turbo out, Like say a 1.5ft  out of the rubber?
If it's not broke, Mod it.....
