Fibreglass bonnet vents?
RazMan - 16/5/06 at 09:21 AM

I'm trying to find a pair of these .... I think it is a 2wd sierra cosworth vent and is the 'squarer' version, not trapezoid - any ideas guys?

Someone was breaking a cossie recently. Have a look in the for sale section. I think the rear axle has just been advertised.

Car Builer Solutions have assorted vents - might be worth a look. I don't think that there are any cozzy-like ones, but I think there are some decent ones.

No luck on either

CBS do a small plastic one and I need the Cossie one which will fit nicely in my body panel - 270mm x 195mm

Have you tried buying from CBS, I was going to place an order of over £500.00 with them yesterday.

The telephone conversation went:

Can I order X

No sorry we havent had that in stock for nearly 6 months now I can do you a simlar part.

Ok how much ?

erm instead of £12.00 + vat the comparable will cost you £23.95 =plus vat

Hmm let me think about it double the price, no dont bother.

This went on for the next 4 items that they always had the more expensive option in stock but could not provide the cheaper option that they are openly advertising. It would seem they are attempting to suck people in with cheaper prices on their website, and once they have them on the phone, the punter wants the parts and feels obliged to buy........ sneaky sneaky sales tatics if you ask me.

So you can gather after just 5 items the total cost would have gone up by £175.00 hmmm, let me get back you you, bye.....

Guess who wont ever get hold of my credit card number.

So in this case when buying from CBS "Caveat Emptor" applies, google its meaning


Regards



It's called ghost selling and is HIGHLY illegal. If that is what they are doing and trading standards found out they would be down on them like a ton of rectangular building things.

I have bought loads of stuff from Car Builder Solutions and have never had that problem.

Neil seems to me to be a sound guy and has always done his best to help me.

Just to let eveyone know that Marks experience might just be a one off.....

Cheers
