clear indicators, whats the story with the price??

Post by 83mars »

as above, just went looking out of curiousity to see what price they were and was fairly dumbfounded when i came across two adverts on ebay for 154.99euro a set :swoon: .
whats the story here??never thought clear indicators would cost that much.
anywhere else that does them at reasonable prices, or affordable at that?
a little rant, its out of my system now, so ill probly buy them next week haha. :bye:

Nope ! Afraid you are stuck with that price for new ones.

Occasionally, second hand ones crop up on here.

That's the only place you can buy them, so they can set whatever price they want. The Volvo 340 club got a company to make clear lenses for them, and I guess there's no reason we couldn't try to do the same, but there would obviously need to be minimum guaranteed buyers for it to be worthwhile.

When second hand sets do crop up, they don't tend to be a huge amount cheaper, unless damaged.

I think the situation might have changed in the last 6 years. Ashrocco sold his scirocco and has moved on.
