Mud flaps
« on: December 22, 2015, 02:44:07 PM »
I have been quoted £99.00 for a full set of mudflaps for my ex, £120.00 fitted (+vat l suppose) seems a bit ott to me, has anyone found any others.

Thanks John, a little confused with the eBay one's, all supposedly for the mk3 but some very different shapes so I think I will try cox motors after the festive period.
A merry Christmas to all, and may things only get better for you.

Update.
Just called another of my local dealers show rooms, the fitted price is the same (price includes vat) £120 but parts only £67 Inc. vat.
Something stinks.

Here's another photo of what they look like www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GENUINE-HONDA-JAZZ-2015-MODEL-FRONT-REAR-MUDFLAP-SET/171923592639?. The front and rear flaps (they aren't really flaps - more like lumps of plastic).

Something stinks.

If you're going to baulk at paying some labour to fit said items you could always get on your hands and knees and do it yourself.

Perhaps ask an tame independent garage with more palatable hourly labour rates what they would charge to fit them?

I know if had a c. £16k car I wouldn't lose sleep over a bit of loose change.  :P

Eddie I think perhaps you have missed my point.
My local dealer has five or six outlets in this area and the nearest wants £99 to supply and the next nearest wants £67, that's what stinks.
I agree in terms to the value of the car it is loose change, BUT I do object to being ripped off.
Merry Christmas and a better new year to all.

Okay, I catch your drift. I was thinking £120 either way fitted adds up to the same thing.

If it was a verbal error, then there's not much can say. If it was a written quotation, well it's down in black and white.

I still stand by my suggestion to buy the genuine accessories at the best price available and go and get a tame indy to fit them if you want best value.

Well looking at the part number 08P00-T5A-600 a couple of online dealers have the RRP at £67.20, which would tally with number two local.

I would ask again at the 99 quid place, except at the parts counter. I think that someone has got their numbers mixed up quoting a figure, rather than a rip-off intent, it happens.
