Saw them,a bit steep,someone over here in France selling a plastic bonnet with air scoop,new for 200 euros,don't know if he's a dealer and has more.Bumped intoo a guy over here who had fitted one to house his intercooler taken from a Y61,with all the other mods he's done was pretty impressive,does a lot of foreign overland trips(he's got a swb 2.8td),nice and black,must have washed it!

I wonder, if there is a business opportunity, for someone in the car dismantling business to have an arrangement to ship over rust prone parts, like wings, from a country like say, Australia, or some where that doesn't use salt on their roads, or has a drier environment than here in the UK :doh

Some countries never have the humidity to start rust in the first place.

For example, in Arizona, USA, there are thousands of used aircraft, stored in open areas, where they are naturally preserved by the dry atmosphere of this dessert environment. 0% humidity most of the time.

Looking at those prices...
Shipping would be the biggest cost, but a full container might be attractive if you have a ready market.

Makes you think doesn't it.:thumb2
