RHR BOOST Moderating Team 5,698 Member For: 21y 4m 2d Gender: Male Location: Southern Highlands NSW Posted 19/01/07 11:27 AM Share Posted 19/01/07 11:27 AM I went to ford today to get a replacement centre cap for my bf and was shocked to find that they wanted to charge me over 70 dollars for this plastic cap.has anyone else lost a centre cap before and is there any aftermarket ones/flash ones out there to replace the stockers.just think that's 292 dollars for 4 caps they must be joking.←Sounds like something Dominelli Ford would try and do. This is one of the biggest rorts ive heard ford try and pull. That sort of cash for a bit of plastic.←Well we cant half tell that you have no love for Dominelli... Ive heard ppl say in regard to ford spares if you were to replace every part on your car the equivelint cost would be the same as buying three T's off the show room floor.

If you were to buy the whole car in parts you would pay about 3 times as much as buying one alrady built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you will be pleasantly surprised Although most of the items are ridiculously, expensive every now and then you come across an item that is quiet reasonably priced. Sometimes even cheaper then ebay. That is very, very rare though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
