Dan32 Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 Just been asked about my R line centre caps. I managed to order them thru www.vwgenuineparts.com in the US at $16.80 a set. I received 1 set (even though ordered 4 sets) and they worked out at $30.80 or £16 which is not bad, but I actually wanted to get postage down to minimum so ordered a few more sets. If all goes well and I actually receive them, the 10 sets I've got coming work out at £10 each set as the postage was $18. I have already allocated 5 sets to someone but the remainder will be 'available'. I'm not sure I want to start selling these professionally so was just going to bring them along to meets and shows, but could 'reserve' a set if we know will be at the same meet or if you are local to me in Sussex. The next meet I'm definitely going to is the AMD open day. If you order your own set, 2 things. Delivery takes about 5 days and ignore what the postage charge says at the time of ordering, you will receive an email to confirm actual delivery charges (in my case it originally said $40 but as mentioned this came down to $18) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khutula Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 Currently their best selling item... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan32 Posted June 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 Probably because I've bought 11 sets !! And as a side note, these are actually from a US VW dealer. Why don't Europe get these thru the parts dept? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khutula Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 If you read Vortex - Americans don't seem to be happy with their dealers, the parts and cars that they sell - and we don't we ours. They want our parts, bumpers, light clusters etc and vice versa we want their nice to haves.....like these caps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
