Hi guys, just a silly observation really. I've recently got myself a white Rallye (which is the dogsCool I' m just about to start a bit of a 'resto' on it, paint the underneath, inside wheel arches etc, but I also think its the little things that add to the overall finish of a car.
Anyway, point being the aerial on my car is a bit bentThumbs down , and me being the sad arse that I am, it needs changing. So I looked on fleabay and sure enough there are quite a few on there, one place was £20 delivered - for a new aerial and base, and quite a few around the £15 mark. So I phoned my mate at Peugeot - £11 all in for new base and aerialShock I will also be changing the back plates on the rear brakes, again on ebay someone is selling original Peugeot ones for £55 delivered, I'm sure they were at least £20 cheaper from Peugeot.
So not teaching anyone to suck eggs here, but sometimes it really is worth a quick call to the stealers, you may get a nice surpriseThumbs up

Its just the ease sometimes with the bay. You look and two button clicks and its on its way. I've done it with clips for this although anything mechanical I buy from Pug
