Bonnet Stars - Price Increase!!

[kwakdonut]

As it appears to be a problem that quite a few of us have encountered (almost a whole year until this weekend!) had a little scrote take too much of a liking to my bonnet badge and although he didn't get it, managed to break the mech so now its gone all floppy! Fnarr.....

Anyways, after checking on here, wasn't too worried as I thought £15 was reasonable. Oh no, have spoken to two stealers and the price, increased last month no less, is now £25!!!! Now, how the heck do they justify a £10 price hike??? Is sterling really that strong against the Euro, I think not....

Well, I shall at least get MB to fit it FOC at the least and shall try everything for a bit of discount!!

hasnt it been 10-15 for years and years and years?

Apparently so - thats why I questioned two different stealers. Both said the same thing....... off to go get it now - see if I can glean some more info!

Plenty on e-Bay.

Unfortunately appear to be replicas and not great quality.

Anyways, have bought and fitted now!! Only to find my 6k old right hand front disc has warped......crap....
