Thanks for sharing, 18's look good value compared to 16's - sadly not going to happen here after just buying a new set of wheels/tyres for another car

Don't forget the £175 + vat for wheel nuts...

When I bought them, it used to be £25 for a set of black wheel nuts.

Just going through the store - Lazer LED bar, RRP is £1033 inc vat. twisted price £1395 + vat.

Wouldn't care but the service is terrible from them so absolutely no justification of prices.

It is interesting isn’t it. Their general mark up compared to others is way out there, but they seem to be doing well; new showroom in London, new showroom in thirsk both in the last 12 months. Silverstone showroom not long before that. The business model must be working to be able to either self finance or bank/investor finance that.

I do sometimes think that people pay to dollar, just be able to say they paid top dollar. Look how much money you can spend on a plain white t shirt!!

I guess with the latest expenditure they won some of the legal cases against them.

I believe clients who spent a lot and didn't get what was promised etc..

I know of a gent with a LS3 110 who got a 5.5k bill for first year service. they'd decided to upgrade his "cooling package" without consulting him and bill him. when he eventually paid / came to an agreement asked for the older radiator back in which 'we can't find it excuses bla bla...'

I won't do business with them again. they are cowboys.
