:laugh:

No wonder the stealerships are suffering.

[Duncan Grier]

Think its the same with most of them although I tend to avoid most copied stuff even though the price is so tempting and stick to the known brands

Saying that with a trade / club card of the stealership or trade with the likes of autovaux on trade (for Vauxhall bits shock horror lol) are not to bad and you know the parts will fit and come with the right extras

Although the difference on those parts stated is a bloody BIG gap!!!!!

Buy cheap but twice, however that's a massive difference in cost! U could do a fair few cheapies before u came close to oe price

There is a big quality difference tho, a lot of non gen stuff fits multiple cars, so will prob be a cross between the specs for 2 or more cars to keeps costs down

pattern parts never last as long as genuine, how many £9 ball joints can you fit into £312 :eek:

[Matt Cole]

end of the day, the clio V6 is nothing more than a parts bin special made up of many robbed bits from different models!

The MF will just have the part no's cross referenced with the other models.

Over on ClioTrophy we call it the Trophy tax, pretty much the same for the V6 I guess.


EDIT: Forgot a word or two:rob:


BTW the v6 boot struts are 218 plus vat, EACH!

[jesus in the seat of a 5]

No ...different for the meganne 225, headlight £260 plus vat, bulb, £150 plus vat ....:eek:, when sourced from the net, total £170 for both, vat inc....:laugh:

:D its shocking... i remember seeing an example of a megane 225 engine mount that was identical to another model but twice the price/.......:confused::eek:
