Adam B Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 (edited) As anyone whose had Nissans for a while knows, price requests and wait times for simple parts are always filled with amusement. Washer jets are blocked both on wiper arms and the silly little connectors on the scuttle trim. Both sides. So, two jets and two connectors. Four little plastic parts. £ 59.33 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thats with discount I think the guy gave me to try to stop me laughing in the showroom so loudly. Ordered thursday morning, still waiting. Sorry had to share it. Any similarly crazy prices post them here. Edited November 11, 2013 by Adam B Quote
Pete87 Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 when i bought my car the side skirts were not secured properly, got bolts and a few plastic clips and it was around £35. I thought that was rediculous. Quote

R35LEE Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 Dealer prices are nuts but that's how the Manufacturers make a lot of their cash. Look at what window motors cost a couple of years ago! Only come down because of the bulk purchasing from specialists Quote

Doesn't matter about power apparently. The very fact your using an SS system is a mod. Even when it's bizarrely far more expensive to replace with OEM. In fact the very daft you use anything that isn't OEM or blueprint of OEM is a mod. Utter utter insurance bollocks. Quote
