Jiffs Little shop of horrors...
Posted: Fri Jan 17, 2020 5:10 pm
Probably not quite the thing you were epecting (or maybe you were) but I've decided to open a little something of a 480 shop...
Lets deal with the very obvious questions first:
1) Is this going to make you filthy rich?
I blummin wish. Stuff isn't going to be sold for profit.
2) Have you got any rear lights?
I blummin wish. I'm only holding new stuff.
3) Will I be able to get OMFG super cheap prices?
I blummin wish. The days of discounts for bulk buying have long since gone. Amazon and Ebay won the race to the lowest price.
So.... Why buy from me?
Well, honestly, I don't care if you don't buy from me. As stated above, this isn't some crazy get rich and retire early plan; Those days have passed by a LONG time ago.
Instead, this is simply me, trying to do my bit in saving as many 480's as possible.
I'd trying to gather together some of the "oh so common" bits that we all need, but sometimes put off ordering because postage is stupidly expensive. Given I've 3 cars to sort, I tend to over order, saving on postage.
If it's all in one place, in the UK, you're probably more likely to fix it. That means its less likely to annoy you and more likely to keep you in love with the car.
Am still working through the finer details, but the sort of stuff I'll initially have would be:
Interior Bulb kit (just Dash)
Interior Bulb kit (Dash + Infocentre)
Interior Bulb kit (Dash,infocentre + Panel lights/hazardswitch)
Brake Disc Retainer screws
Driveshaft Roll pins
Headlamp plastic Cups
DRL LED
Popup Struts
Speedo Cogs
Headlamp Hinges
Heater Knobs
(you may notice a theme throughout that list - It's all stuff I've replaced on the fleet!)
If anyone has any ideas for stuff I should hold (please don't say unobtainium stuff like rear arches and bumper supports!) I'm all ears.
