pedrosixfour Posted December 9, 2008 Author Share Posted December 9, 2008 Question is, do you actually get whats pictured when you send your money or do you get a 'close copy' Copies are fine for Bodykit, gear nobs, carpets etc but not for wheels and brakes and suspension etc. Genuine stuff will give peace of mind. That was my original question rob, i'd be fairly wary of goods at low prices at the best of times, more so when ur bettin ur life on them...........WTF!!!!!!!!!

supra_aero Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 For those prices its just worth going down there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 To be fair Mr Pedro, it looks like nobody has used them, and 99.9% of the members on here wouldn't know a copy from real anyway.... Myself included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edge Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I'd still give tcb's a ring and see how much they are inc delivery and vat. I will bet that they will be cheaper and you know they are spot on and they dont sell crap. Have used tcb's several times and do next day delivery if you ring them before 1 or 2 pm.

supra_aero Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I reckon if one person gets these and they are real within days they'll be sold out for good. There wont be enough brake calipers for all of us thats for sure lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L33 Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Why? Is £120 a caliper just not cheap enough?! so would you swap a 10 pound note for a 5? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedrosixfour Posted December 9, 2008 Author Share Posted December 9, 2008 Now all I have to do is find out if they have heard of Ireland and would they mind shipping "internationally", oh the joy of being an outcast nation!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 All brake calipers are sold on an exchange basis so they can be completely remanufactured and sold on as a remanufactured caliper again, therefore, to ensure we receive the old caliper back in a serviceable condition we add a refundable deposit on top of the price of each unit. Therefore to purchase a front UK spec caliper without returning to them your old caliper it will cost £188.80, not £128.80. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if im upgrading a n/a spec to a turbo spec? Will they take the smaller calipers in exchange? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
