The rarity of demand for the euro parts might make them more expensive here.
Are you going for one? I would if I were you.
One thing, though, have you selected a shop (I assume you don't do the install yourself...)
It is only really fair if you let the shop order it, as you are stealing a little of their profit if you sorce the parts yourself, and deny them the markup on them they are entitled to.
Either at Enrique, your British cars shop, or some radiator shop......
Not so sure about the hood pad - looks like $70 is about right, at the parts house or that ebay auction I mentioned.
For that, you will go to a body shop right? Risk too great of damage to hood and paint job if you do it yourself. Plus likely the hood will need to rbe removed for the install, and removal of adhesive is exhausting.
I would shop around for that one, at a few body shops. Not a big deal.
Just pay the labor hours on it.
I have never heard of this auto parts wherehouse. Perhaps they are ok, but what about Phil's Fastlane parts?
They are the sponsors of this forum, why don't you call them and see if their price is comparable or close?
Their customer service is supposed to be great, too.
EPS parts and BuyMB parts are good too, I used both of them.
Not telling you what to do, though, just telling my opinions, as you don't seem to mind getting them.
You are basically on the right track, though, and that is good......
Tomorrow is a holiday, so it is likely they are closed, and probably nothing will get done. More time for you to poke around, and research a little.
But, it seems you are using the internet wisely
