Bloomin' heck....
I was telephoning my LR garage there and thought my 90 needed brightening up and asked the price of a set of SVX alloy gear knobs and now i have came round the price of £750+V.A.T. and two seats are over £4,000 a pair.... Brand protection me'thinks? 2008 RS4 gone, 123d M Sport, and a Puma 90 XS..

Going back to 1972 my journeyman mechanic read me an article from a car magazine regarding just that question and the car they used to show the rip-off was a Morris 1000 traveller and it came out at SEVEN times the RRP... I think that may be still quite accurate? 2008 RS4 gone, 123d M Sport, and a Puma 90 XS..
