Various bits and bobs for people...

Hi all,
I have a few people asking for parts at present...
N/S wing mirror
N/S front door (4/5dr, I believe)
N/S front wing
O/S bumper iron
Can anyone help these folk out? I'm happy to be the intermediary, or I can put you in touch directly, but be warned that these folk are via the VOC (and not the forum), so not used to dealing with the internets and Paypal, etc. They do use telephones, though, which is an improvement on some folk I get contact from!
"Friendly" pricing would be valued
cheers
James

Hi James.
What do you mean by O/S bumper iron. I do have bumper related things.
Cheers Mark.

Got a front door (rust free the last time I saw it, in silver with the thicker rubber trims) and wing mirror (assume its Mk3 style manual mirror?)

The piece of box section which bolts inbetween the body and the bumper, Mark. Each one has a horn bolted to it (on a dual-tone horn car, anyway), and the O/S one as the towing eye attached, too.
Steve - quite tempted for myself, to be honest...

We'll have a chat...
cheers

Also have the matching rear door, again which was rust free - should still be, does have a minor car park ding in it but would assume it'd be painted anyway...

Hi Mark,
You might find it's cheaper / easier to book one of the £7-8 universal "up to 30kg" courier services, but I'll leave that up to you to sort out. I might as well get you to send it directly to the intended recipient. Let me know the damage, and I'll sort you out some cash.
cheers
James

I heard this evening that the guy who wanted the mirror, door and wing now has all of those items accounted for, but thanks for your help Mr Kaos.
Mark has taken care of the bumper iron, so I think we're all sorted!
cheers

I beg to differ, as Mark is in Belfast which does have big bit of water between it and the mainland. Something which carriers charge (a lot) extra for, and the RM doesn't.
Same applies to the far north of Scotland.
