Makes me laugh that my rear beam is for sale in kent for the same money which was rebuilt 200 miles ago and does not want it, must be someone has said something to put him off it, or stillys rep is shot lol. No creaks or noises from this one. Never mind am sure it will go soon enough.________________________________________ TEAM Supercharged Rallye |

Had to pay another £35 or they wouldn't deliver, 50p per kilo over my weight claim and some random charge. Robbing bas**rds, i'd guesstimated at 65kg and they said it was over 100kg. The driver who collected it got the hump at the weight and went and got a colleague to help him, think they upped the weight just for the hell of it. Weighed my beam with brakes and everything on and it was just over 70 point something kg but they weren't having any of it, was the last time I used them  ________________________________________ Bye bye Sundance Kid |

i am sure myself and "G." on this forum paid £60 to have a 206 gti rear beam delivered within a 5 day timescale, but this was a few years ago and petrol prices amongst other working fees have dramatically went up so i'd expect £100-ish might be the acceptable fee now?! It'll depend on the company of course.________________________________________ '13 208 Gti Bianca White, '99 Bianca 306 Rallye, '92 309 Goodwood GTi 5dr, '92 Miami Blue 309 GTi 3dr. |
