Just rang Beenleigh Auto Wreckers this morning and they wanna charge me $100 for the 2 foggies. Can get them out of the UK for half the price. Why do these Aussies boys overcharge us so????

I feel that the wreckers are increasing their parts prices. They know that Holden has cut off Astra.

Got quoted somewhere around $500 for genuine holden foggies for my G, i paid round $100 for mine second hand genuine after paying $200 for new non genuine ones that broke from their housings within a day.....
Hope your uk ones arent the same cheapies i got!!!

Australias market is so damn small we all pay the price for it... I wish it was only the car market affected too!

euro is expensive no matter how you tackle it. for me to replace an ABS pump here its well over $1k. the foggies are not cheap either. ( I bought a set new ex london.) try buying a facelift bumper - I can't!
