That's inc postage which will be around £25,I bought 1 recently off here for more than that so I think that's pretty reasonable.
Agree on the flash dash spray though!

Hi Glenn, pure greed, that is 3 times more than I have just paid for my new Ford genuine ones!!
The trouble is someone with more money than sense will pay that and then anyone else that has some tucked away will think £250 is the " normal " price to ask for them!

Im surprised at how much 2wd steering wheels are selling for these days.

I used to sell them for 35 quid a few years ago and just sold one now for £80 to a trader.

The trader is selling them for £165 think i missed a trick here

I think same trader bought 1 from me too.
I previously bought a lot if bits from him but nearly all have turned out to be rubbish so I'm buying no more as it's just junk you receive 80% of the time.

The thing is with these parts it seems to be a case of " fuck it, lets put a crazy price on it and if someone is stupid enough to pay it thats their bad luck " As I have said before if no one bid on it and the seller had it sitting around for ages you would see it come down to a sensible price.

Seen a rough pair of chocolate rs2000 fishnet recaros recently for £850, buyer said they were a bargain as he had seen them fetch more!
Also a well used rs500 throttle body fetch £340 on ebay. bought mine new for £250.

You can only get the drivers door and drivers rear door from foray parts.
I managed to put together a full set back in 2008,sure I was £250 back then but I had the wing mouldings.

No,I can't remember how I seen them,there's a few on eBay for double the price so I thought they must be getting them from somewhere,think I googled the part number and found them for sale at foray for half the price.
