Update time.

I've heard from my machinist, for a fully machined set of vents the price will have to increase as the milling cost for the bases is significant.

To make the machined bases viable it will push the price up to £70 + postage. I understand this is a hefty sum but personally believe it would make a very high quality product that would be a pleasure to swivel every time you adjusted it Laughing

So before I go ahead with the bases I need to once again gauge interest at the new price point for the fully machined kit.

I may get a pair machined anyway to get some pictures of the finished product if that would help?

If there is no hunger for the higher quality kitd then production can start as soon as I receive the nozzles Thumbs Up 2002 90 Td5 Station Wagon

Thanks for the update Grafty.
A question if I may, I expect most of the cost of these is the machining, would it change the price much if you were to move to a more robust material like aluminium ?

I'd like a set of the fully machined option at that price please, (if numbers are viable, if not, a pair of normal ones please) Sandy

I’ve only read good things about them - so count me in whatever - they are for the wife, she’s worth it I reckon! (Especially after she asked for an uprated heater matrix - only to tell her it’s already got an alisport one 😂)

Hi George, great to meet you last Saturday and see your fine 90.
I meant to say then to put me down for a set of vent please, but clean forgot. Probably the puppy distraction!
