Ricambio's version has a Fiat logo on it but not the cheaper version. Is it the case, what is the expression, "what you pay is what you get"?

Post by: dajwid on September 28, 2010, 03:14:44 PM: This has always been my grumble. Prices in Poland are used then multplied by 5 some times 10. Original Fiat it may say, but Fiat have not made these cars for a couple of years ;) lots of the stuff is Polish anyway.

Not knocking the firms as they offer a good service but 'some' have a very very good mark up.

Remember a ticket to Poland is only Â£30-40 return :D

All it will cost you is Polish price plus postage I can get you any prices before you say yes to ordering parts. I am also there every few weeks myself so never hesitate to ask. Might cost you a cup of tea if we ever meet up in the UK Ed

Post by: dajwid on September 28, 2010, 07:25:51 PM: So you know what I mean, I go over often, prices in the UK are really over inflated. How large are the bits you could bring back?

Post by: ypsilon_lancar on September 28, 2010, 10:24:16 PM: I can't blame them for the high mark up, i blame the lack of competition for them in the UK. I should set up my own 500 and 126 parts shop, must be some demand in Yorkshire (Although i havent seen another 126 whilst i've had mine!!!)
