Hi all.
Preparations are underway at a pace and U decided that to stop people borrowing things out of the boot on our Afrtica trip I would fit rear window guards. Anyway I watched e-bay for Defender 110 guards and none came up. So I contacted Mantec. I was quoted £247 (UK) which seemed a lot but I know they have a good reputation. With £11.50 for postage. About £260.
I thought just before I got the credit card out and shocked it I would phone a local Metal Fabricators. I explained what I needed sizes etc. In the same style as the mantec guards. The manager said "Well we can't do it to cheap as it is a one off."
So I held my breath and asked how much, "Well all the guards would have to be £75 in total which is very expensive." I was numb.
So it is booked in on Thursday at the local Metal Fabricators and they are fitting them.
Now there is £200 pounds difference in price. Mantec seem to be charging an awful lot.
Yours
Andy
