Factory bodykits (again)

How much are these worth? I may be able to lay my hands on one, all 4 pieces and fog lights for not a lot. It's silver so I'd have to spray it all for the GLT, and has a £2 coin sized split in the back, easily sorted.
What are they normally worth? I know about the group buy of the replica ones, didn't they end up costing £150?

Cheers,
John.

The group buy ones are £230 all in, must remember to buy the rest of mine!

Is there a price premium for an original? Looks like I'm a lucky boy then.

Nah, they don't go for that much, it's just finding them!

Cool cheers Chris. Any tips on removing one? I don't wanna smash it getting it off.

Sides can be bonded under the sill... fronts are held on with wing bolts, rear you'll need to remove the rear bumper.

BUGGER

Didn't want that much effort but it'll be worth it when me car looks tight.

Oh also the sides are held in with the mudflap/wing bolts and one bolt in the rear sill/arch. It will be worth it

You could remove the rear without taking the bumper off but that would mean you'd have to cut the mounting tabs off. Take that as a last resort
