Plus if do
I'll see what type of price I could viably sell a pair for once do
And if can get it for a Inc p&p price of around £90/100
I could do a group buy order list

I would be interested but still steep at £90 to 100 think you would get more joy out of £50 to 60 just my thoughts at 90 to 100 not that many sales at lower price more sales more profit :wink:

Sadly it's moulding costs
£30 a kilo of silicone
9kg for size of these
Then custom production hence not cheap as chips as bmw produced in high numbers do cost low
I'll see what can do and values with numbers to bring costs down:)

Marc, john-e89 has a set sitting around gathering dust. See if he will lend them to you, although you would need an armed guard at all times as these are so valuable.

Hi D4dawg - did you make any progress with this idea? I see the covers on eBay sold for GBP170!
I would be very interested at around GBP100, provided the finish matched OEM. UK delivery would be OK..
Thanks

D4, I have a set. You're not a million miles away and will be coming to Oxford to see Machine Monkey soon to fit my modded back boxes. Perhaps I could drop them off and get this idea rolling?
