Default Defi Gauges anyone?? AFPMSL.

For your information, the new 2009 prices are as much as 70% higher than 2008. So, now a 3 gauge BF set will cost you almost £800.

WT absolute F.



AIM dash anyone??

We've seen fairly substantial price rises from all our suppliers, some as much as 20-30%, but Defi's increase has FAR FAR eclipsed all of them. It's sad for those that are commited to the system and need extra bits, but thats life I guess.

Its the same with Autometer, the pound only gets you $1.40 instead of $2.00 and couple that with a big 2009 price increase due to manufacturing costs and it means that the buying price of Autometer stuff is getting on for 40% dearer than it was in June.

You get a guy asking for a few Cobalt or Nexus gauges and he just laughs when you ring him back!! Its going to affect everything not just fancy gauges!!

But stupid I have to agree Christian!!

TIM gauges anyone?? Lol!!
