hi all thanks for all the feedback regarding my last posting, i was given some good advice from a nice chap and may have come up trumps in locating the bits i want for my interior, the dash top, door cards and the side bits of the central console, the thing is the scrap yard in question want £220 + vat for the components i require, plus postage, so its closer to 300 quid all in, is that about right or am i being ripped off? i sort of expected to pay about 150 quid ish for those few bits but not that much

no, retrimming wouldnt be an option for me really, if i were to go down that route id just get mine retrimmed and i have a buyer for my old components so i can regain some of my costs, plus its my every day car and id be without half the interior for a couple of days, krytch (the only bloke around here that does that sort of thing) made a pigs ear of my roof, so wont go back there any way, i just thought the best option would be to obtain the bits i want from a scrapyard, but thought that what he was asking was too much, i think the place im getting it from, doulas valley, tried to sell me the rubber bit on the top of the door for 20 quid (secong hand) telling me you cant get them any more and then i got one, brand new from dulford for 10 quid, so i just want to make sure im not getting ripped off

Douglas Valley are WAY too expensive, shop about before you hand over your cash, they are a last resort and I mean LAST..

well as it turns out after him telling me they have loads, he said he is struggling with the side panels for the console and the he sent pics of what he was going to send, thankfully, cos the door cards were 2 tone cream and blue, i told him i just wanted cream, well its magnolia innt really, but you get the point, i called straight away and explained again what i wanted so he is supposed to be looking again for me, but thanks for the advice, ill keep looking then, any more ideas any one?
