Group Buy: Pairs of Rear arches

Cleaned up the garage and found some parts you want to sell? Or are you looking for that one part? You can advertise or request just about anything that has to do with the Volvo 480 in here: brochures, towing-hooks, antenna's, etc etc...

I may have to contact them with the current names we have - Could everyone interested please PM me their email address if they do not mind of course - So I can look at making the arrangements.

In the PM could you also include whether you are interested in getting a pair of rear arches or just one side - We might not get very much off as they would of liked to get 10 people getting a pair each for the deal but I will do my best to negotiate a deal for us and then take it back to everyone to see if it is any good :)

Thanks.

Sorry if I've ruined this potential group buy for people but I couldn't wait any longer. I bought a set this week as I have an MOT next month and arches are a borderline fail.

You might have more takers if you said you were going to use an Escrow service that is regulated by the Financial Services Authority. I've heard that I you can expect to pay about £3/person.

It's a way of having a third party hold the money until the transaction is complete.

I'm not implying you are up to anything! I just thought it might be something interested parties might want and could potentially increase your numbers.

Bump ;-) I would still be in for this, anyone else? Perhaps people who just wand a driver / or passenger side could still be involved if we can find an equal number of leftys & rightys & then divide up the spoils at one of the 480 meets?

Best

*May* be worth checking with skandix.... Given they've only got 2 pairs in stock, you may find it's the last two pairs ever.....
