Obviously being for the 370 it doesnt apply to me, but £4k for a couple of bumpers and side skirts is daylight robbery in my opinion. Lots of performance companies massively over price they're products. I'm tired of seeing a nice lip for the 350 only to find out it cost over £500, FOR A FRIGGING LIP! Or the Top Secret diffuser which is about £1300 and replica's are literally half the price.
I understand there is an amount of R&D involved and thats stacks the price up a bit, but then I look at RT and the work that went into they're under tray and they're selling it for £300. Fair enough its fiberglass and not CF, like the TS diffuser, but thats not 4 times the cost to produce.
I believe if manufactures charged more reasonable prices then people would be more likely to save up a bit longer to buy the real deal, rather than buy knock offs. I personally would rather pay around £1000-£1500 on an authentic kits than £500ish on an eBay replica. But because an authentic kit costs over £2k for most good makes, I and others are stuck trying to find the best price vs quality replica kit for under a grand.
Another example is the Mines CF lip, over £600 but there are perfect replicas around for about £300, I know which i'd choose.
I can only stress how much we need traders like you to continue supplying aero parts. I've never heard a bad word about fit and quality of any parts supplied by any of the traders here, replica or otherwise. We need you guys to help us make our cars truly our own without having to remortgage!
I love you guys
