Hi Mulley,

garage reckon they are £64 each? just contact citispares to see if they have any, but if anybody has some they would like to sell i'd rather buy them form a forum member. thanks Adey

GSF sell them for around £32 each IIRC.

You can order online, but postage is a touch steep, unless you are ordering over £100 worth of stuff.

You can buy them off eBay too, usually cheaper, although you are taking "pot luck" with the age / date of the spheres. Obviously, you want as recent a date as possible. :wink:

Nice one dave, sounds like the garage got their pairs/singles mixed up as £32 would make sense, thanks for your help guys

Make sure you check the date stamps on the spheres, you dont want to have old one's fitted even if they are brand new.

Yes....my mistake there W2G!!! Mine were actually £36 for a PAIR! ( + Vodka & Tonic)

I first typed my reply without digging out the receipt! Since found it! :wink:

Either way....it's WAYYYYYYY cheaper than the £64 the garage quoted you for 'em! :shock:
