No point sulking now coz you all didnt bid enough Scrooges

not at all...like i said before I respect your business acumen if you managed the deals with the wheels....

after all the buyer did effectively buy a set of used wheels at new cost and also effectively two (well) worn tyres at new cost too....

That said..i dont think it makes us 'scrooges'...and im sure you said that tongue in cheek

thanks for posting the link here anyway

even if we do have more sense to not pay 'old for new'

Did this Speedline group buy ever come through? If no then I'll kick one off and see if I can arrange something with Vaux or Plans.

I drove up to the breakers of the VXr in the main header topic. it finished ebay few days ago unsold at £4000 jeees i took a load of pics.. i was trying to sum up if it was worth breaking for parts or not... sadly err no. interior is shagged. drivers seat is bent. steering wheel bent. whole chassis it total scrap. rear end looks like its been wrapped around a lamp post then "covered" up a little to make it look pretty. The seller joked "its got a good windscreen" ... sadly.. i think hes right was gutted i didnt offer him £50 for the VXR matts in it tho... and i did see a black filler cap hidden in wreckage in sacks behind car. All in all though... its bloody hard work. Engine IMO would have damage. and every concievable item of any value on it also is damaged to the extent non salvage. the alloys all have damage of some form. Adam Will post pics up if any1 is interested.

Oh Forgot... He wont Break it aparently he's been offered £1200 for the interior and the "suspension" is worth 3000 !!! lol , no chance

Just out of interest, are there four wheels and four four spring/damper units? One of each is missing from the photos.

[eliseadam]

rear o/s wheel and whole area is obliterated. front n/s wheel also damaged and part salvagable. other 2 wheels are ok. and running gear is ok.

Can someone post up or pm me Evosal's trading address. I won a steering wheel but the guy is steadfastly ignoring my communication. Does not take pp, so no address. Cannot pay him! Naturally, I do not want to form the conclusion he is trying to welch on the deal
