yes it was the z warehouse but they have now told me they wont send by courier so will have to arrange one unless someone down south could collect for me??

Hi Ray,
Unfortunately my car was cramed full and I had no space to pick your wing up! plus I wouldn't know how to get it to you. But it will be well worth your courier fees

These wings are top quality no rust gen wings as far as I can see! I picked mine up over the weekend, but after autojumbles at Peterborough I also had petrol tank, rear quarter, 2 front wings, boot lid, bumper, sill trims inner wheel arches and list goes on!
I hope you get it OK.

Regards,
Paul.

There are a few sharks at these events, Ã‚Â£125 for a wing! and a ridiculous amount for door skins.

All this will result in is more Marina's and Ital's scrapped, as less informed, less able enthusiasts will simply be unable to do the work or unable to afford the huge cost of keeping the cars going.

Just how low will the numbers have to go before people take notice. Charging the earth for panels is not the answer and considering most of these people got the parts for a song, then it's just plain extortion and not the way of a real, passionate classic enthusiast.

Ray, why not get a courier to pick it up?
Was it a N/S or O/S wing?
For Ã‚Â£40 a bargin to anyone!

What exactly do mean by:-
"strange that Ray plenty of offers to collect it when people think you're giving it away "
I replied to the original post as I would be interested if it was close enough hence my request for details.I don't recall any mention of giving it away or did I miss that bit.As for plenty of offers I still only see two replies once it became available,perhaps I'm not seeing the full picture here or maybe your just looking at a different post to me!!!! :? :?
Either way the price of a well packed courier delivery from Essex I believe would not make it viable for me anyhow.
