Up to you, how much money do you want to make?

Erm...what they are worth, hence my original question. Didn't someone on here report of a set selling for £250?

[dcc 855]

put them on ebay if you want silly money. I dont understand people paying the money for them which they do... baffles me

[welshpug 1,656]

Last rrp i recall was £18 a pair.

[Projectuno 7]

They have been on eBay for 2 hours and I have had 3 offers via messenger from £150, £175 and £200.

[dcc 855]

Crazy! I have 2 and a half sets now! Think ill keep them!

[Slo 283 1 Cars]

kinell think ill keep mine in the bag then rather than use them same as the gear knob lol jesus 200 quid for rubber

[speno 239 2 Cars]

Slightly of topic , but how much do you think a gear knob (gti) with the green insert is worth ?

Thanks

[dcc 855]

what ever the idiot on ebay is willing to pay. The green insert is very uncommon, so I would assume £0-1000, somewhere in that price range.

If I was in the market for some, I'd pay a bit more for the rubber type mudflaps than the plastic ones that are on ebay

I would say £150-200 quid for a green gearknob on ebay? However this summer I did buy a green insert on here from Allye for 12 quid I think it was So the market is quite variable

[speno 239 2 Cars]

£12 sounds like a bargain then :0)

cheers folks

Expensive school boy error

[mowflow 67]

Who are these clowns on ebay paying stupid money and why are they only interested in flaps and knobs?

 

I bought a spare set of 1.6 wheels with tyres for £90 from a local guy who had them on Gumtree a few months back. When i picked them up he threw in a set of mud flaps still in the bag and a new set of locking wheel bolts to "sweeten" the deal as I was trying to beat him down on the price

Good news Paul - I'll offer £18 for the mudflaps if that is OK with you?

What is is the big deal with the rubber mud flaps actually?

 

I've never seen any

 

I've had a plastic set of original branded GTI mudflaps on on my GTI now for 15 years.

 

They still look great and work fine??

[mowflow 67]

The rubber ones are good for an extra 20bhp. FACT.

Fellow plastic flap owner here. Had them on both my very first GTI and my current one. Personally think the rubber ones are ugly by comparisson.

 

The only benefit I can see is that the rubber flaps are more flexible. But personally I prefer flaps that are tighter and nicer to look at.

I have the plastic peugeot mudflaps fitted to my 406, I reversed over a sneaky verge/edging rock, and the mudflap snapped in half. I suspect the rubber ones are alot more forgiving. That said, I have the plastic ones fitted to my 205 and they are fine. (mainly because I am considerably more careful to avoid obstacles )

[farmer 328 1 Cars]

On GLP's theme, I have rubber and prefer them as you "can't" be too safe going by Craig's problems
