Is that each ? or for the pair ? ..

[TwistedEL]

Each!

[jimmy_c]

is this the external mirror cover. There is a pair of chrome jobs on ebay for 110 bucks :P

[TwistedEL]

No thanks to the chrome
Would not look right against monsoon.

I like my chrome in small amounts

[Kryton]

1 single UNPAINTED genuine NISSAN mudspat = $91+GST.
Nissan gearbox to radiator oil line (just a plain old rubber hose with a bend in it) $87+GST
should i go on?
Ford arent so bad.

[burnzie]

Ford just quoted me $300 dollers for the tickford intake snorkle.

I said "no you must be looking at something else" but he seemed so sure he knew what he was on about. So i said good day.

Toyota wanted over 300 dollars for a 93 camery side mirror when i went to get one for my friends car.

I can sell you 2 plain black ones (not painted black) for $70 including postage. I would then get the chrome ones for the wagon. PM me if you are interested.

If not - try FTG - they do over the phone orders and will post it out to you.

That's not too bad really I can think of far more ludicrusly priced parts.

[Abacus]

I need a wire clip for the airbox.

$9.00 from ford.

I had a small joke about it about it and the spares guy says "it's because they're imported from America"...

[Twisted]

Ive got a scratch on the top of one of my mirrors, wasnt paying attention and drove to close to a gate keypad :( im thinking of just buying the chrome covers to hide it but im not sure about the chrome look either :(

[jonbays]

I love the chrome covers I put em on and way better than the white colour natched ones on the fairmont easy to fit too and not too much money

Would look ok on the white i think but not too sure how they would go with Mercury Silver paintwork?

[Dauphin]

I have two silver ones lying around but they are a little scratched. I rang Binks Ford a couple of years ago asking for replacements and they quoted me about $350.00 each because they can't sell the plastic covers, had to buy the whole unit. That sounds like crap according to the first post on this thread. I've since moved to chromies and they are lovely. Kids like them as they are like a multi-dimensional mirror to another universe.

Thanks for the offer, but no thanks - I reckon 2nd hand scalps are worth $15ea tops, $20 if they are already painted monsoon

Yes FTG are good to deal with I got my tickford snorkel from them

[Mark351]

How do you guys think car manufacturers make profit? Selling cars? Hahaha

[Dauphin]

That's right. I read last week that a typical $30,000 car at Toyota makes the dealership only $300 and a Land Rover will make about $900. Not much to go around the pay packets!
