Ok, position so far.

Euro Car Parts, do not sell HT leads for the VXR8 full stop, they told me Dealer part only.

Price from VX £158.40 inc VAT !! yikes
Monkfish do some 8mm leads for a bit over £90 IIRC. Have you spoken to Walkinshaw, as your car has been looked after by them?
Not yet but will do, was just trying to get a price for OEM leads but at the moment the Magnacor ones are looking the best bet !
you wont get better than the MF price
You're not wrong there !

I am sure there is a company who shall remain un-named who would beat the price... you would probably end up with some heatshrunk speaker wires mind you nicely packaged in a Magnacore box.... wink

I'm thinking of getting some just cos they look nice!

getmecoat
biggrin I have some here you can have, please send me your monies and I will send you them. They are even platinum plated for extra resistance
Are they LS1 leads as I like the stretched just about fits look these give on the LS2 or 3..... laugh

With the Magnecor you can specific the higher temp boots (red) if they're not fitted on the "off the shelf" kit. Also if you've got the aluminium tubes on LS2/3 leads then re-use them on the Magnecor leads. I would have been happy with OE leads but mine are a meter long smile

Just ordered a set, at just under £90 delivered, they appear a bargain !
