Alright web site, but seems a bit pricey!
I guess 15-20% up on GTS, MK, MAC#1 etc??

not convinced I'm afraid. Prices are dreadfully expensive (compared to GTS's), obviously the site isn't finished as they're
still missing some pictures, but I can't see what it offers over the price lists on the luego site as it doesn't offer any more products
and there is no capacity to buy online, you still need to ring them to order the parts.
A waste of their time and money unless they have future plans for it IMVHO. No wonder their parts are so expensive!

I have to agree their prices are a bit OTT, and being a retail site they should IMHO show the price including VAT using large type and the price
without VAT in small characters. After all the VAT inclusive price is what you and I have got to pay.
Having said that I have bought several things from them in the past and the quality of their parts is very high, but the prices of certain things on
the web site do catch the eye. £108.69 for a recon Mk2 Escort steering rack!!!! £35 from Halfords, I could go on. Thank goodness for companies like
GTS and dare I say it Lolocost.
The £108.69 price could be for a recon Sierra rack. Part number U4 in the
Brakes, Uprights & Steering section states it's an Escort recon rack but there's another Mk2 Escort recon steering rack in the Shocks
& Ball Joints section, part number C6, that's only £83.43!

In my experience the best prices for standart parts are generally found outside of the kit car industry.
Time spent searching the web and building up a decent 'favorites' database pays dividends.
Have to agree with Flange nut about Lolocost, the ball joints I got from them were a bargain.
