Front end bits are yeah - NLA and everyone crashes the front.

I would imagine a bonnet has to be £150 and a bumper at least £200

150-200 for bonnet.

std 3dr bumper is around 150 also.

fook paying 325 for a std 3dr bumper - you can get genuine rs500s for not a lot more.

That does seem a bit steep I have to say ! Front bumper £300 for an A1 minter - maybe - but £250 for a bonnet ? Nah, don't thionk so..............but ask some of the traders here, Pete @Ashfield or Paul @North Yorks.

yes I quoted you £250 for a bonnet,which was the right colour in lovely condition ready to fit, that aint expensive,to paint a bonnet will cost a minimun of £100,
you lot have no idea do you think we steal these fucking parts,and £150 for a bumper tell me were i will buy the lot,£325 is a bit steep who ever quoted that BUT again if mint and no paint needed cant complain really.
you want to play on the other side of the fence and try buying cars to break,
we get tucked up you know infact i have Monday with a right pile of crap i got in
Not easy to get these parts are they,good job you dont want a front grille they go for serious money

As Pete says and I never considered - if they bolt straight on with no paint needed.................a very fair point indeed.

3dr parts are bloody rare, and if you aint found a part for £100 have you asked yourself why exactly?

maybe because there arnt that many around anymore??

i paid £220 to get the bonnet and front bumper painted on my old escort, so really, £250 for items that aready to fit is a bargain!
