[grayfox]

Ha only just remembered about these yesterday while at steavies for an MOT, if you still get any work done at steavies rob just leave them there, or txt/ring me when your passing round the m25 next - 07851049953

remind me how much extras needed too. Cheers.

 

[The Arch Bishop]

Z-fella, if you see this, I've still got these waiting in the garage!!

 

[josh andrews]

[Hillzy2k]

Hey im likely to be requiring 2 sets if possible. Are there any around still and if so how much?

 

[evilrob]

Finally got a day free to wrap these f**kers:

Arches for wrapping:

Bubble wrap:

Corrugated card:

Rubble sacks:

Arch against polystyrene sheet:

Badly-cut polystyrene 'stabby end covers':

Bubble wrapped centre:

Whole lot wrapped in corrugated card:

Card wrapped in rubble sack and parcel taped to buggery and address label stuck on:

Wanted to get the right balance between weight / protection en route. Going to measure / weigh / get shipping quotes and these will be on their way next week. I will be very disappointed if these don't arrive in the tippy top condition in which they leave me!

 

[quest63]

Good job I didnt order any, I could have died of old age unwrapping them :-D

 

[Robsky3]

any chance of getting any more

 

[g-whizz]

Just thought I'd give a "cheers" for all your efforts Rob, looking forward to the final details and delivery. Ta fella, G. :grin:

 

[evilrob]

Okay, they weigh 1.5kg, and measure 72cm x 27cm x 6cm.

UPS are quoting £7.99+VAT.

There are cheaper options, City Link / Hermes / Yodel - but I've had issues with all of these in the past, whereas UPS have always, for want of a better phrase, delivered the goods. For the sake of a couple of quid saving max, I'd be inclined to get these sent off via UPS unless anyone massively objects?

 

[quest63]

I strenuously object :roll:

 

[evilrob]

You can come and collect your (non-existent) set then, Gary.

 

[quest63]

:grin:

Rob, sent you a message but will reply here too - sorry for being so slack and thank you for all the work you have done sorting this.

I honestly don't think i will end up fitting mine, its getting to the stage where i need a bigger car and cant justify keeping the pompom for track use - since doing all the work on mine its seen 0 track miles

If anyone is after a set i may well let mine go as im likely to strip the car to sell parts as i dont think its worth anything to trade in

How much were they???

Hello just dropped in here - are these still available

IMPORTANT UPDATE:
I asked the supplier to provide a quote for 25, 30 and 40 units to see if there was any additional saving. Unfortunately, there is no further discount available, and any units from 21 onwards will be subject to a separate shipping charge as they can only send 20 at a time.

If anyone wants a set after we've hit the first 20, I will still order them for you if you want me to, but you will have to share the additional shipping cost of around £19.10 with however many people over 20 also want to participate.

To put it simply:
If you're in the first 20, you get the price quoted previously.
If you're buyer 21 or over, it'll be slightly more expensive as you'll have to take a hit on the additional shipping, unless someone from the first 20 drops out in which case you're quids in and you take their place.

Here's what they look like:

Apparently they're quite good for bodyshoppy people to work with when getting your arches repaired.

Is anyone else planning on doing their arches in the next few months? May be able to get some kind of discount - even if it's only on shipping (30EUR individually) for a few sets.

We all did a group buy so we could get a load of them shipped over at a cheaper price.
Unless you find someone on here who is selling a set, I think you'd be left with buying your own.

 

[Ginger Tom]

I have a set I might be willing to part with

 

[SteveO]

Just a quick question, are these the Peugeot front wings that can be used for the wheel arch repairs? http://www.ebay.co.uk/bhp/peugeot-206-front-wing" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;, cause the price is fantastic if so. What does everyone think?

 

[SteveO]

It's the second one down on the page at £17.95 by the way :grin:

 

[Ginger Tom]

No these are not the pug front wings
