Valeo Front Fogs - Yellow

Seeming they are not available, I have been speaking to the valeo rep today who says I should send details of what items I would be interested in on a group buy and they may look into reproducing them if enough interest. I have sorted out Radiators for Mike, but I am looking at if possible yellow fog lights as I know they are not available anymore, or are they still from Renault? Any other valeo items would be interested in a group buy and can see what sort of prices and quantity would need and will see what I can do, as really the more items from them the more willing they will be doing a deal for us.

I bought some from Renault a year or so ago for my old 21, they were £35 each then.

Its worth checking if they are still available from Renault as I often see on eBay certain parts with NLA status attached to them. I'm sure your aware its not always the case and instead just a method used by a seller to help boost the price/demand for their item.

I purchased them from renault over a year ago as well, should have got more, I found a new one on eBay and Mike was over for some over parts and before I could unwrap the Fog light he was on the phone to somebody else offering me good money for it. Thats what lead me to believe they are not available any more.

I know a lot of people use the same sales technique or add stupid mark ups on the items to put them on eBay, if the item is new they are more than likely available from Renault, latest case I have seen is the Rear seat caps over the hinges, these are available at just over £1 each from renault, people are trying to sell them for £20 delivered on eBay, nothing quite like making money out of people :laugh: likewise with boost hose rubber strap is about 300% markup and many other items I have got from renault in the past.

Valeo clutches I am not sure how available they are or what prices people are getting them for and can enquire about these as well if people are after them.

Are the rear seat hinges really that price from Renault??

As I just bought a set on here off of a member who guaranteed me that they cost more than what I paid him!! If they are £1 each I paid him a 400% mark up!!!

Depending on price, I'd defo be interested in a Valeo radiator, and their 'green box' clutch.

You should check the part numbers on the forum

https://www.rtoc.org/boards/showthread.php?t=5897&page=2

Posted that last month when I found out the price of them

The radiators are Mikes, as dont want to go round his back as he has paid out a lot of money to get these in. But can find out on clutches and see what can do

Liam, I assume you are talking about the one's I sold you. First of all let me just clear up that at no point did I guarantee what they cost. I actually told you I bought these some years back and could not remember what they cost at the time. Based on the fact they were going for £20 a set on ebay I figured £15 was a fair price. Now I am not an unreasonable person, and its not my intention to make money out of others members. Therefore if you want to PM your paypal address I will gladly refund half your money.

I'd be up for a clutch if they were available cheaper.. I'd pay up front, deposit or whatever, if the prices were right.

Mark- I am not angry as I paid a price that I was happy with. It's my fault for not doing my research. I am on the rtoc as I totally appreciate the help and togetherness of the members. I have had some members send me out parts for nothing when I have been desperate which i am really grateful for.

I have no interest in arguing or falling out with anybody on here over a couple of quid. :) spend the few quid on your five or get me a beer at the next ND that I will most def be attending.

Then everyone is happy :agree: genuinely no hard feelings mate.

Getting back on track-I'd be interested in a clutch and fog lights depending on price.

Well done for looking into this Dale :)

I have just sent off an email asking about yellow front fogs and a green box clutches. What is the going rate of the green box clutch so I can get an idea on if going ahead with it is worthwhile as I am guessing would need a saving between £10 to £20 from normal price, or how easy are they to get hold of as I know GSF just deal with sachs clutches now, but possible can get hold of Valeo if you ask.

Front headlamps , fogs Defo , clutch Defo

As headlights are available from other suppliers I wouldn't have thought there would be much demand for those, but if enough interest I could ask depending on what they get back to me on the fog lights, just taken a look for TRW and can do them for as cheap as £40 plus delivery. Can source 2 sets of those, but might be able to get more straight from the supplier but not sure on those costs without ringing them up checking availability on them.

Front headlights and fogs for me aswell

Any news on this?

I have left a message with the rep for this company today chasing this along, hopefully will have some news soon enough.

i dont need 1 now, but i couldnt get hold of a green box valeo clutch so put a sachs one in, but if there is a green box next time id be having 1. Can valeo still do the clear foglamps for a good price aswell?

Last time I check clear fog lights are still available, been a while since I last checked but they weren't that expensive.

If the yellow ones are a no go I will have some clear ones off you Dale please.thankd

Had a reply back and no such luck with yellow ones :( so looks like they are not available anymore at all. As for clear ones I will create a list on all those who are interested and get a group buy, waiting to hear back for prices on the clutches first though as only want to do one group buy at a time.

Started new thread for the clutches

Are this ok for 5 gt turbo?

http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t...psb78121a5.jpg

They look it. Where did you find those?

Nice, managed to find one new one, just need another for the set. Worse thing was, before I knew how difficult to find these was, I sold one to Mike. Live and learn really.

GT Turbo ones normally have 3 bolt holes and not 4 as pictured. I've seen these too, just not 100% sure they will fit.

Well, I hope they fit... Here is the link of one set and hope someone who really need them will buy them :)

http://www.ebay.fr/itm/LONGUES-PORTE...#ht_500wt_1414

FSP - look similar to the ones I bought from a guy in Spain. They come up on the Spanish eBay quite regularly and look fairly decent for second and ones. Looking at around £45 inc postage from Spain.

Failing that why not get clear ones and then Lamin - X them with a yellow wrap.

New poster! (less than 10 posts)

So they fit, as I didnt get my yet..?

cant get the clear ones from gsf anymore so I would be interested if you could get some

I bought some just to give it go for the price they are good quality and a perfect fit and look decent enough when fitted BUT if you are after OE they may not be good enough for you they are not Valeo Cibie etc and the front glass is clear only the rear reflector is yellow I`m sure you could split them and spray etc to make them better but for the price they aren`t bad were quick delivery if yours are fubar these are more than good enough for the price..

They are still available direct from Valeo which I can get

Could cut the yellow lenses off an old set, machine polish the glass carefully and fit in place of a clear lense if needs be for the new look:agree:

Last time I spoke to him about them they were £100 each but that was at Santa Pod last year so dont know if they have gone and they are more.

Renault still have stock but hope you are sitting down.

£126 + vat each now :eek:

Renault had a price increase in Jan and just recently put the prices up 2 weeks ago.

First one was a price increase the second a price review.

Wait for the refund, both those companies which have them up for auction get the stock direct from the suppliers, they dont hold any stock themselves. Valeo dont have these anymore.

yep just got the email, total ****s lol

There's a few places that list them in stock,iv had places in France and Germany take your money only to refund it cos they haven't got any.Luckily I did manage to source two new ones in the end but was through a private sale.:agree:

I messaged both those companies before hand, I have also messaged loads of companies from around the web. Closest I had was rockauto who said they have got them in the warehouse and place the order, but 2 days later, sorry stock was wrong :crap: so I keep searching eBay trying to find them from companies which dont list every part number they get there hands on and put them on eBay. Thing is even though they have said they haven't got stock they wont remove it from eBay.

Seriously look on the Spanish fleabay whilst not new or at least i dont think they are, I picked up a set for £40 delivered and there is not a single spot of rust on them. They look new let's just put it that way.

Look close to originals, supposed to be Cibie but dont look quite right on markings on lense

Surely someone can replicate these? Or Valeo would make them again if a certain amount was wanted?

Someone offered me 200 quid for a new set i have last week,turned :eek:them down.

Best bet now is getting a clear set and having them laminated in yellow at a sign writers shop? :confused: There is probably a scap yard some where full of everyone's old o.e. and just a case of finding where. :laugh:

Just get some used ones off mike,i have some on my car and there sound,so much so theres no point me fitting the new ones yet.:agree:
